Craig Robotham is amazing. There I said it. A tireless educator, writer, and audio drama lover, Craig has built an impressive collection of dinner theatre audio drama you can host in your own home at Weird World Studios. But that’s not enough, Craig’s assembled a list of supplements and guides to help any educator neophyte in this amazing medium.

It may sound a little bizarre to all of us at the Sonic Society, but Ki Sung at KQED News finished an article entitled Listening Isn’t Cheating: How Audio Books Can Help Us Learn.
I remember reading some time back an experiment that had hooked up an MRI to various participants. Those who read a book had a lot of “magic” happening in the brain as readers need to envision settings, characters, sights, and sounds. However, Audio Drama works the brain even more, as a single sound may be the only cue a listener gets in which to build a world. Audio books sort of bridge the two mediums.
However you slice it, audio is good for the brain.
Oh, and television? You guessed it. Leaves the cranium with a cold whistling sound in comparison.
