Dennis,

Many thanks for the link! I shall look into the "Around
the World in 80 days" production. Some of the other shows on the same
page look interesting, as well. I have listened to several of the
episodes of the "Journey to the Center of the Earth" production, and
they are surprisingly accurate so far. They are much more accurate than
most of the movie adaptions that I have seen! Thanks again!

Drake

Does anybody know how accurate they are? Were there any other old radio
adaptions of Verne's books? I know that thousands of old radio shows
have been lost because they were not recorded, or because the recordings
were destroyed. If anyone has more information on the topic, I am sure
that many people besides myself would find it of great interest.
Thanks!
