    Subject:  #OldRadio IRC Chat this Thursday Night!

    A weekly [removed]

    For the best in OTR Chat, join IRC (Internet Relay Chat), StarLink-IRC
    Network, the channel name is #OldRadio.  We meet Thursdays at 8 PM Eastern
    and go on, and on! The oldest OTR Chat Channel, it has been in existence
    over six years, same time, same channel! Started by Lois Culver, widow
    of actor Howard Culver, this is the place to be on Thursday night for
    real-time OTR talk!

    Our "regulars" include OTR actors, soundmen, collectors, listeners, and
    others interested in enjoying OTR from points all over the world. Discussions
    range from favorite shows to almost anything else under the sun (sometimes
    it's hard for us to stay on-topic)...but even if it isn't always focused,
    it's always a good time!

    For more info, contact charlie@[removed]. We hope to see you there, this
    week and every week!

    Subject:  Effort of Imagination

    Paul Adomites, speaking of OTR and entertainment, observes,

>     what's unique about radio is how it lets you create the pictures in
>     your own head, which involved A) some effort and B) some creativity on
>     your part. Which could not be more unlike the zillions of dollars
>     Hollywood spends (and then charges us) to relieve us from the expenditure
>     of one second's effort. Enjoying radio is much different in every way
>     from every other kind of entertainment out there now

    And if you follow that to its logical end, however. Radio relieves us of the
    imagination and additional effort involved ni creating the voices and sound
    effects that can be present in a great novel. Radio is to reading (in a
    loose sense) what television is to radio.
