Cool! The audios are even better than the read, and his audio play "Too 
Dead to Swing" is even better than that! I happen to know Hal, he's a 
local swing guitarist, but this is only a personal recommendation, not 
trying to be commercial. The audios are produced with the highest 
standards, and TDTS even has original music and the singer is part of 
the cast... Neither is really about radio, except incidentally, but he 
has nailed the feel of that era perfectly.

Okay, I'll stop now. Write me offlist if you want to know more...
