My iPod is primarily filled with radio dramas these days, particularly the BBC radio productions of the Agatha Christie mysteries featurnig Hercule Poirot. The dramas are quite brilliantly done and the dramas owe their appeal in no small measure to John Moffet's voicing of Poirot. The man is quite brilliant - he sounds exactly how I imagined Poirot to speak as I read the books more than a decade ago. David Suchet did a superb job in the TV series and I think John Moffet has done equally well, if not better, in the radio series.
There are not too many Miss Marple mysteries reproduced and having heard Joan Whitfield as Miss Marple in the drama, I can understand why. The lady was good on TV but she doesnt have the same appeal on radio.
The great news is that the radio dramas are available for free as iTunes Podcasts !! Yup siree.. quite a few are already there and more are being updated every week. Its one podcast I make sure to keep updating.
