Mr. Keeline,

Thank you for your reply! The only "vintage"
recording of a Jules Verne radio drama that I could find on Archive.org
was here:

http://www.archive.org/details/1946MercurySummerTheatre [1]


This was, of course, the same recording that was kindly brought to
light earlier by Mr. Kytasaari.__

I have done some more research into
the matter since my last post, and I have unearthed a few more available
vintage recordings. I don't know if this is a topic that interests
anyone else here on the forum, but I will try to post my findings. It
would be great to see all of these recordings in one place! This may be
one of my future projects.

I have looked into librivox and other
similar services in the past, but unfortunately I have not had much luck
with them. Being a speed reader, I found that the slow reading pace of
many of the recordings was very trying to the nerves! This, of course,
was my fault and not theirs, and I greatly admire the spirit of these
projects... I have just found that reading the actual book is easier for
me. I greatly appreciate that you took the time to look up these
sources, though. Thank you!

Drake

Archive.org has many radio dramas but I don't notice any of the vintage
ones on this Jules Verne search. There may be other items of interest
though:
