Right, all that you wrote is just fine, but that is why I said "Well, there is your problem right there", you don't like radio dramas. No matter how well done they are, you wouldn't like them. Not even sure why you bothered to listen to them. I can't stand most hard rock, grates on my nerves, I find listening to is far from enjoyable. That said, I am not going to go out reviewing hard rock and death metal albums, and saying what is and isn't good in regards to these types of music, because no matter how good they are, I am not going to like them. Like you said, these radio dramas are not for you.

Well it's not a case of not being able to stand radio dramas, they just don't work 100% for me. Like I said, I liked the Star Wars radio dramas to a certain extent. And there were things I liked about it and things I didn't like. So I have an opinion on  them.

Daley did not, nor did he need to, demonstrate what could be done in the format, because it is a tried and true format, it has been around for a very long time. Daley did a good job of adapting it to this format, but he didn't do anything new. It had all been done before. Styles of acting and story telling are different in radio than they are in television or movies, things are just done differently.

I think Daley actually said somewhere that he set out to demonstrate what could be done with the format. And I did read that the drama was indeed something new, in some aspect of style or how it worked, I just forget the specifics.
