Famous Authors on Radio

Overview

A resource for Old Time Radio fans who also love to read. Some of the best audio drama ever produced was based on the writings of well-established authors. This page identifies those authors and provides a comprehensive list of their stories that have been dramatized on radio. It also provides links to off-site resources where you can find more information about those same authors. Most of the links will take you to the Internet Speculative Fiction Database, but if the author is not listed in that database, I have provided a link to Wikipedia or some other reputable source.

Note: I have only a few hundred BBC stories in my collection, so I have not been able to independently verify most of the BBC authors or dates below. I have gathered that information from BBC Genome Project, BBC Radio Listings, and Diversity Website. Unfortunately, since I don't have most of these episodes in my collection, I don't know which dates indicate new productions and which are simply rebroadcasts. And I fear that most of the older recordings are lost, anyway. Very sad.
