BBC Rerunning Radio Lord of the Rings

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the capture-the-streams-baby dept.

Motor writes "I'm not sure if I'm doing the BBC website a favour by mentioning this, but BBC Radio 4 is, from Saturday the 5th of January, running their excellent radio serialisation of The Lord of the Rings in thirteen, one hour weekly episodes. I'm not sure how much load the streaming system can handle though :)" Make a note of it, and save 'em. The LotR radio show is very acclaimed.

    I borrowed the 13-disc set from a friend. I ripped it to mp3 so I could listen to it without having to swap discs.

    So I sat down to work one day and fired up the mp3 player. Two hours later I realized that I had done NO WORK! I had simply sat there basking in the glory of this production.

    I usually listen to music when I work at home and don't find that distracting at all.

    Unfortunately I also found this Lord of the Rings things completely addicting. I found myself looking for excuses to listen to it. Luckily it is only 13 hours long.

    I think that I should have saved this for commuting and caused some accidents.

    George Lucas is apparently a great believer is Campbell's analysis. It neatly explains The Phantom Menace.
