Years ago I traced the English-language radio-audio adaptations of JV.  My definition included from an dramatized version, to a condensation read by a single reader, but excluded straightforward readings of by a single individual of an entire novel, ie book-on-tape or audio book.
 
The total was around fifty, from the early days of radio in the 1930s, thru the present.  I know that there are at least that many and more broadcast in such countries as France, Germany, and the former Czechoslovakia.

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,
 
A week before his more infamous radio broadcast, Orson Welles and the Mercury Theatre did a production of “Around the World in 80 Days”.
 
It looks like you can download a copy here…

 Hello everyone! I recently found this link to a vintage 8-part radio series based on "A Journey to the Center of the Earth": http://www.oldradioworld.com/shows/Journey_to_the_Center_of_the_Earth.php I have not been able to find any more information about the series other than what is given on the web page. I have not had the opportunity to listen to all of the episodes yet, but I plan to soon. 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! Drake
