Not a Leisurely Listen

Revisado: 01-29-21

Holy Soliloquy, Starman! A major pontification with the story of Bowie as it's framework. Author / Narrator works so hard to get to his point, that both he and the reader are exhausted at the end. Would recommend this to someone who enjoyed Beowulf as light, transparent reading.

More Context Would be Helpful

Revisado: 01-29-21

As this series did recycle scripts, it would be helpful for the producers to provide the air dates and all of the titles included in such a compilation.

This could have been a great collection

Revisado: 06-23-20

Just a pile of public domain recordings, thrown together without any notations... no titles and no broadcast dates...with some shows (chapters) actually repeated... did anyone even bother to check these files before posting them for sale? For the most part, sound quality is acceptable, but other providers offer many of these shows with restored sound and will provide titles complete with the dates of the broadcasts. Even the simple addition of a pdf file could have made a difference here.

Better sounding files can be found elsewhere

Great Book - but missing a chapter

Revisado: 04-28-20

Am really curious why chapter 4 is not included. The audio jumps from chapter 3 to chapter 5.
Until it's included, you should warn that this is an abridged edition.

Recorded from an Oatmeal Box

Revisado: 01-03-13

What would have made Revenge of the Christmas Box better?

The recording should have been made using real microphones instead of, what sounds like, a Mr Microphone broadcasting thru an AM transistor radio built circa 1962. This release has all of the fidelity and clarity of Thomas Edison's original attempt to recite Mary Had a Little Lamb on a wax cylinder.

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

never got there.

Would you be willing to try another one of Arte Johnson’s performances?

Little Artie is fine; now open the sealed box he's speaking from and let him try reading it again in front of a real microphone.
