Yeah, I don't have XM radio either, but it is fairly easy to find a decent amount of any of those online in MP3 format with minimal searching through google. It would be nice to just turn on the radio and hear them though. corellian, are you enjoying LOTRs? First time you have read it? Tolkien is truly an amazing writer. I really like his minor works too, of which Leaf by Niggle is my favorite. The radio adaption for LOTR is on equal grounds with the SW adaption in my opinion. Gollum's voice is a bit too much though, but other than that it is great. A lot better adaption than the recent films. I forget how many episodes it is, but it is also in thirty minute segments. If you do decide to give it a go, becareful because there are two different radio adaptions of it, the BBCs being the good one, and other one (by NPR I think) is unbelievably horrible. Sounds like it was recorder by a bunch of eight year olds. Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (which actually started off as a radio show and was later adapted to a novel rather than the other way around as is commonly believed) is my third most listened to radio series right next to the BBC's Lord of the Rings and Star Wars.
