Mr. Taves,

This sounds very interesting! May I ask if you have
any accessible copies of your findings, and if so, would it be possible
to post it on the forum? I know that I would certainly find this list to
be very interesting, and I am sure that other members would as well.
Thank you for your reply!

Drake

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!

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

Thanks!
