That's awesome, Rico! Thanks for posting this.
I'm looking forward to listening to the podcast on the ride to work tomorrow.
I remember Sunday afternoons huddled around Dad's stereo listening to the first NPR Star Wars radio drama. And I enjoyed listening to all three last year. I can't wait to hear your take on things, Rico.
This week's podcast was great! I never knew that NPR had done a radio dramatization of Star Wars. I gonna have to pick them up soon.

Wowee -- cool.
Rico,
Thanks again for including my little WALL-E ditty.
Yeah, this brings back some great memories. I remember listening to these when I was living up north in New York. I was in a Heavy Metal band at the time and we would stop our rehersals and pipe this through our big PA system.
Ah, memories.
Rob
Awesome podcast as usual! I have these on mp3 format, but haven't listned to them in a while. I'm going to have to correct that!
Great show Rico. I listened to these at some point last year, I think I'll do so again, I forgot how well done they are!
Enjoyed this one a lot Rico. "Star Wars" is so much fun!
I've never heard any of these before! I need to buy them. Great episode!
Glad to have brought them back into the limelight. They are really great to listen to. It's like an extended version of the movies!
I like the slimy Imperial at the beginning of ANH that tries to hook up with Leia.

Hehe! Can you blame him? Did you check out today's Daily Babe Pic?

Slave Leia FTW.
Wow, great show so far! Bryan you did an excellent audio part! I have half left to listen to. Excellent Rico, I didn't even know about these.
Yeah,
Farewell to the Star Trek Experience. I was able to visit it twice. See my profile Pic. They had not one but two full size replicas of the Enterprise -D bridge. When we last did the tour they left my wife and I in on one of the bridges alone for about 15mins :ohbaby I will miss that place.
Rico, you may want to make a sort of pictorial shrine to the Star Trek Experience were forum members can post their pics in commemoration.
Any of you who can should try to go at least once before the closing. We owe it to the franchise.
Wow we lost George Carlin and the Star Trek Experience in one year. Tough times.
I for one will miss them both.
Rob :'(
Ok, just got done with the rest of it. EXCELLENT! Kenny- I had all of the buck rogers and battlestar galacticas on cassette tape too! I put the tape recorder up the speaker on the TV and then edited out the commercials. I listened to them when I fell asleep every night. I loved your comments.
That was simply a great podcast.
Thanks Rico!
Tatooooinnnnnnne! mwhahahahahahahha!
I'm unhappy about the Star Trek Exprience dying. That was one of my hopes to see next year on our family's vacation but now....well.....dangit. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Anyway, another great podcast Rico. I was really interested in the audio series and might look them up.
King
Yeah, I can't say enough about how much I enjoyed these NPR shows, although I tried in my comments on the podcast to get that point across! They really are a treasure.
I just listened to the first four chapters, EXCELLENT! It is very good.
Didn't realize many of you didn't know about these. Very glad I did a podcast about them now!
Great Podcast Rico, great contributions as well by everyone. I have never listened to these before, but I will make it a priority to do so.
I got through eight of them today.. EXCELLENT! Painting and saving the universe all at the same time! :)
Don't you mean "the galaxy"? ;)
yes, I guess I do.
Ah, getting star trek and star wars mixed up again!
(Said in Yoda voice)
Confused I am. eehee hee hee hee. :yoda
Just funning ya. Yes, I do that too. Mixing the two genres is easy to do when you're a fan of both. :)
Great Yoda impression btw. ;)
I too must learn the ways of the force...if I'm going ... :luke
But i want to go to Tosche Station to pick up some poooower converters!
Don't be such a whiner Luke... Be a winner! Maybe we could go take a couple of shots at some womp rats.
Now there's a challenge! They're not much bigger then 2 meters.
You're all such geeks.. I love it.

"I can arrange that!"
"Why you stuck-up, half-witted, scruffy-looking.... NERF HERDER!!!!"
"Who's scruffy lookin'?"
"I don't know where you get your delusions, laser brain."
Listening to the podcast as we speak..er..type. Great, great podcast Rico, I really need to find these and pick them up. BTW was it just me or did anyone else think that BryanCD sounds alot like Zachary Quinto? I just thought...Wow if they do a Heroes Radio drama, BryanCD would be a great Sylar. Maybe I'm just tired.
Keep up the great work.

Alright, go about your business.

"Sister! SO you have (and kissed-GROSS!) a twin sister. Your thoughts have now betrayed her too."
Yeah - he does sound like Quinto. There are a couple of other actor voices he reminds me of too. Just can't place them right now. Glad you liked the cast.
Yeah he sounds a lot like Quinto ...

I'm sorry, were you guy's talking about me? I was just eating someone's brain....... :skull
I actually get that a lot. Not the Sylar thing, but I have been told I have a "radio" voice. I think I sound awful!
Bryan, you are awesome, your voice is really good.
You want to go home and re-think your life.
:)
I vote for more audio submissions by Bryan too! But fix that hum issue on your Mac! It's giving you some kind of feedback or something in your audio.
I know, I'm just using the built in mic and Audacity to record. I need a better solution....

It's not the Mac. It's the mic. Bryan check out this mic... works very well with my Apple and the recording quality is awesome for the price. It's a great product if you just want to plug it in and go: Samson C01U. I bought a popfilter and a floor stand as well.

Well actually,.... isn't Bryan using the built in Mac mic? I thought that's what he had.

I am, the point is that the mic that's built in is crappy. :)
Yeah get a cool mic man. You rock. I think it would be cool for you to do some podcasting on the run. Maybe an iTalk for your ipod.

That's what I was referring to. It's not designed for the type of recording he's doing. He's getting an echo in the background too. I heard it to in his RPG recordings. :)
Great job everyone who provided content to this one. Great show!!
Every time a Star Wars segment came to an end I found myself saying "Noooo!!!!" Really enjoyed them. Didn't like Han Solo's voice. The quality of Darth Vader's voice was too different for my taste, but the actor did a great job nevertheless. All the others were right on.
Gonna hafta borrow these from the local library. ;)
Yeah Vader's voice is hard at first, but then I found myself being ok with it. I am almost done with the first one.
Once you listen to enough of the Radio Drama's you find the voices really work well.
Yeah, Perry King auditioned for the roll of Han Solo and came in for multiple reading of Han's lines with different actors and actresses. There is a copy of ANH out on the internet which has all the audition scenes and you would be amazed at who was up for some of the parts! Valerie Bertinelli as Leia?! :blink
I always liked Perry King. He seemed to have a similar look and personality as Harrison's. Those old auditions are cool to watch!
