Does anyone else on here under...let's say 60 years old like Abbott and Costello?
@SrRochardBunson I do also quite enjoy Laurel And Hardy, and they are quite different but somehow similar in my mind.
We could have an entire conversation about old time radio people... the theater of the ear, theater of the mind was a big part of my growing up.
@ErgonWolf I think that I would probably enjoy Laurel And Hardy, too, but Bud Abbott & Lou Costello have a special place in my heart. I had a VHS compilation and some tapes of theirs with tons of their routines on it.
Yes! I've been meaning to pick your brain on that! I picked up a few cassette tapes of the classic back in the day, like the Shadow, and have found some with the internet. Still, I think this is an area that you could school me.
"the theater of the ear, theater of the mind"
I'd love some recs of things to seek out, but I'm also very interested in techniques, styles, etc. from those old time radio shows that we/I could translate to podcasts. There's some things like "Welcome to Night Vale" that have gotten popular, but I think there's untapped potential with creatively using audio.
@SrRochardBunson I'm sure you know of this already, but creative audio storytelling doesn't get more interesing than H2G2:
