Audiomens

actually im gonna post this here too cuz twitter isn't great for longer posts and i have Things To Say (copy-pasted some stuff off my twitter and then elaborated on some of it) "okay so im listening to radio omens while transcribing it (duh) and it keeps hitting me how well adapted it is?? like, it's so insanely faithful to the book and the way it adapts things into audio form is genuinely fucking astounding idk (especially WITHOUT A NARRATOR??) Like yes its a little clunky at points and i honestly wish they'd had a narrator (would've made a lot of things so much easier and like... look at season 1 of the show!! that's tv where they have so many more opportunities to show things without a narrator and they still found it helpful) but the ways they used to work around that are so incredibly clever i'm honestly in awe. And tbh same to the show they're both such amazing adaptations that manage to stay insanely accurate to the books but provide something new at the same time" this was specifically motivated by the usage of the radio at some parts (forgive me for not having an exhaustive list of examples, i've only transcribed up to the beginning of episode 3 so that's all that's fresh in my memory), like how its used to introduce pollution in episode 3. but it's also very clever the way they've adapted specific lines (and specifically footnotes) to be included in the radio show without using a narrator? (tiny disclaimer that i don't really make a habit of listening to podcasts or radio shows or any sort of audio drama, so this is all very new and exciting for me lol so im freaking out about some of it a little :3)

Just in case you weren't aware of it, we have transcriptions of the radio show here!

GUYS. WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THE GOOD OMENS RADIO ADAPTATION. THEY GOT MARK HEAP AND PETER SERAFINOWICZ?!!?! if you’re a fan of the show or the book, DEFINITELY give it a listen here: https://archive.org/details/good-omens-ep-6/Good+Omens+Ep1.mp3
