Readers' Reviews
"I did want to let you know that based on your reviews
of non-BBC audio/radio drama available online, I have been listening to groups like 19 Nocturne Avenue etc. You're really
creating a great resource and I'm sure many people the world over are grateful." (Leslie McMurtry)
"The theme of this review posting is that something is crackling about radio drama at the
moment and more and more people are recognising it. And if other national newspapers don’t get it, there are plenty
of enlightened thinkers, listeners and writers out there who do and they will do independent reviewing. Laurence Raw is one
such diamond and platinum egg .... Laurence’s criticism is very well written. If he can sustain his current level
of output, radio dramatists, actors, directors, producers and sound designers are going to find a morale-boosting and culturally
appreciative reference point for all their work." (Tim Crook, Libertarianspirit Blog)
"Laurence Raw is doing great work to promote radio drama with his thoughtful and prolific
reviews" (Fred Greenhalgh, Radio Drama Revival (www.radiodramarevival.com)).
"Do take a look at Laurence Raw's website. Someone with a genuine passion for radio drama"
(Julie Mayhew, dramatist & author of Shoebox Full of Snow)
"Just wanted to let you know how much I’ve enjoyed reading your site recently. It’s
great to see someone interested enough in that wonderful medium of radio drama to write so many reviews" (Oliver Wake)
I just wanted to thank you for putting together a Website that gives attention to the modern audio drama movement. It can be really hard, sometimes, to work for weeks or months on a project, only to see that, not only hasn't anyone heard it, NO ONE even seems to know your art form exists at all! Sites like radiodramareviews.com help sheds light on a storytelling medium that badly needs some.
Thanks again for providing such a great service to the community, and for all the people in general who are just looking for good stories to experience." (David Collins-Rivera)
"A big thank you for a remarkably sensitive and perceptive review. Your site is so worthwhile because radio drama's worthwhile" *Jack Klaff, actor and dramatist.
"Thanks for the review, Laurence. It’s very good to know that someone takes Radio Drama seriously, and your commitment to documenting contemporary plays is much appreciated." Matthew Broughton, author of White Noise (Radio 4, 2012), and adapter of Gulliver's Travels (also Radio 4).
