[edit] Radio Drama in Africa
A lot of focus is often paid to radio drama in Europe, especially Britain. Recently, however, there is an increased interest in radio drama in Africa. Most of the studies in this area focus on the functional aspects of radio drama, rather than its purely entertainment aspect, and as such, there is very little that has been done on its structural relevance. The didactic function of radio drama is necessary to acknowldege the kind of material that is consumed in Africa, as well as the way radio drama can be used in the development project. Radio drama in Africa is also often a reflection of the cultures from where they are produced.
[edit] Proposed merger with Audio theatre
This proposal does not seem to have been followed up with any discussion here.
I oppose. See my arguments at Talk:Audio theatre. -- Picapica 20:33, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
Removed the merger proposal, which does not appear to have elicited any support. -- Picapica -- Picapica 19:27, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
- There seems to be some confusion as to what constitutes "radio drama" and what constitutes an "audio book" or "audio theatre". Someone has inserted a number of pulp men's adventure novel series (eg. The Destroyer, The Executioner, etc.), but most of these were never radio dramas although they are available as audio books or audio dramas. IMO, they don't belong here, they belong in the audio drama article. --Canonblack 22:08, 17 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Radio Drama around the world
As this article is on the English language version of Wikipedia, I propose the article be edited to refer to Radio drama from english speaking countries, and the material on Japanese radio drama be spun off into its own topic, and the proposed African radio drama be started as a separate topic, both with links from a "Radio Drama around the world" link section. -- Bubbas Brain
- I concurr. A brief mention of Japanese affect on radio drama as a whole is enough, with a link to another page. The garbled text makes the page look bad. Rugz 05:55, 29 September 2006 (UTC)
[edit] External Links - Criteria
There seems to be a conflict beginning about what qualifies as an External Link for radio drama. It should be discussed here before drastic changes are made.. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Rugz (talk • contribs) 23:04, 27 Sep 2006 (UTC)
- This may be aimed towards me. Either way the criteria I use is firstly that Wiki is about content not links. As such links need to prove validity. Equally I tend to refer to WP:EL, {{WP:SPAM]] & WP:NOT - if you see any instance where you & I and a link don't agree (!) feel free to let me know.

- What criteria was used to select the links in the "Listen to" section? Right now it seems rather arbitrary, especially when compared to the links from before. I understand about not wanting to be a link directory, but allowing some content providers to have links and others not strikes me as being biased. Raveler1 03:03, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
Apparently there is no longer a "Listen to" section? Someone with the anonymous IP of 76.170.239.56 (cpe-76-170-239-56.socal.res.rr.com) has taken it upon themselves to remove "Listen to" sections to over 500 articles on Wikipedia, without explanation. Rugz 16:23, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

- I'm replacing the "Listen to" links. We went through all this at Talk:Old-time radio. I don't know whether the remover is a vandal or really believes this is spam. But access to audio is no different here than an audio aid to pronounce a word in an online dicitionary. Further, how can it be "spam" if it's not a commercial site?
