Thank you for these- it takes me an hour to cycle to work every morning (and again in the evening when it's pitch black both journeys) and these will certainly help! I've one more Bond to go through, and I need some variety beyond my Teaching Company lectures...
ReplyDeleteKeir,
ReplyDeleteDid I read right? Is there a James Bond radio show? Or is that an audio book?
As for the Internet Archive (which you can delve into by going to www.archive.org), in addition to the hour-long classic movie radio adaptations, they have comedy shows, such as Burns and Allen, and original thriller shows like Suspense Theater.
You can go to the following two blog posts here on Java's Journey for links and descriptions of a few radio shows:
