We are experiencing a podcast renaissance. Mostly, I suspect, because people are starting to make podcasts that sound like American public radio. That's progress, of a sort, because podcasts used to just sound like bad radio but, ideally, podcasts would try and find new ways to sound. Maybe that will come.
Back in radioland though, are these five essays, exploring The Radio Voice. Again, the voices don't stray very far from a radio-y norm, but they're still worth listening to.
The first one points at a splendid parody of radio drama called This Gun That I Have in My Right Hand is Loaded 'adapted for radio' by one of my favourite ever (presumably) fictional names: H. and Cynthia Old Hardwick~Box.
