Listening Library

racontourThe library used to be a quiet place to read. Librarian’s cold death stares to the noisy have long been fodder for teen movies. But lately, they reflect more of a cross between an Internet and Starbucks cafe. Books are the least of your experience in a library today. For example, the Clark Library allowed their patrons  to see and hear a performance of “The Wizard of Menlo Park” last Tuesday night from Ranconteur Radio.

All the details can be found in Tap Into Clark website. Now, how about organizing a radio drama night in your local library?

Lord of the Audio

t0627tarzan-5-660x313Tonight my eldest took me out to see The Legend of Tarzan. Tarzan’s been a favourite of my father’s, and it’s great to see the Edgar Rice Burroughs pulp star still having life after all these years. Inquirer.net has a nice summary on the Ape-Man’s resurrection in the theatres. The flick was pulpy fun. Solid performances. Hard to believe that there were many radio dramas done in the past. They are pretty out dated and could use a new fresh look. Anyone up to making Tarzan adventures in audio again? In the meantime, enjoy the show!
