Most might think that listening to 1950s and 1960s crime and sci-fi radio shows to be a little bizarre (afterall we have television, DVD's, Playstations, etc...) - and pehaps a hobby that should be left to fossils who relied on this entertainment as they grew up....but that's just not plausible. I began listening to some old shows broadcast on BBC Radio 5, before it moved to 24 hour sport, and of particular note were the shows 'Box 13' (starring Alan ladd) and' X Minus One,' a sci fi radio show which could be prepared to the modern day X Files. As soon as Radio 5 moved to 24 hour sport the shows ceased to be broadcast - and for a while I forgot about them....

However my memories of the shows have lived on, and thanks to the World Wide Web I have been able to revive my interest in this easy listening culture. This section will review some of those programme's, and it is my hope that in the future I will be able to put these shows online and add more show reviews.....
