I am complete!

[webb3201]

Thanks to all in the forum, I finally have the complete RMT archived to CD and secondary drives. I had stalled at about 800 episodes for the last few years, but in the space of discovering this website a week ago, I am all caught up. Thanks to the help on the Mac download managers.

Now, onto my first log....although it takes me three nights per episode for each one (keep falling asleep)..

Congratulations!

I know what you mean about going to sleep to them. I usually listen to them while completing some other activity in my office. That keeps me awake.

At that rate, it will take you more than 15 years to hear them all.

Talk about dedication. Great job Webb3201! I can certainly relate to falling asleep during a program. I often have to wake up early just to hear the end of a program before going to work. :)

Guys...

With much love and sympathy, I hear you! The honest to god truth however is, we are all getting old! When I was a young buck in the late 70's and early 80's, despite some nights in bed with a die shaped transistor radio... before my parents picked up on my passion for the CBSRMT... I NEVER... fell asleep on an episode. These days... my beautiful girlfriend, despite my age, will occasionally tolerate my CBSRMT needs and enjoy a show with me. Frankly, between us aging fans... (and I am only 35...) I have a personal headset... transmitting the stuff from my computer. While hugging the most beautiful 22 year old girl in the world to sleep... I pass out in the 1st quarter of most episodes. Gentlemen, this is why when you see me rate an epsiode at a 5 of 5 star or a favorite episode... you should take me seriously! :D

Best regards...

John... (who is losing :cry: the same most beautiful girl to grad school this week--- I guess that means better listening time ehh? :wink: )

I can totally relate to the falling asleep thing. in the early 80s when I was first listening, I would often fall asleep and miss the last act. When it came on as a repeat, I would try harder to stay up.

For a while more recently, I was trying to listen to one every night but found the same thing. Old age? (I'm 35 also) Or a conditioned response after years of night time listening.

This last week I have been taking an episode out on the mp3 player when I am jogging in the morning. Haven't missed a beat yet! It's quite amazing how quickly a 45 minute jog can go by when listening to an episode.

A couple years ago, I brought some to listen to in the car while on my honeymoon. Was the first time my wife had ever heard a radio drama. It was "The Horse That Wasn't For Sale". She spent the entire hour rolling her eyes and groaning in apparent agony. Despite her impatience and dislike for radio drama, she will, once in a while, bellow out...
"Nooooooooooo! Don't ride hiiiiimmmmmmmm! STAAAAR-GAZERRRRR"

When I was first listening as a kid ( I am 33 now) , the local Dallas station ran the episode at 0900pm. I had no problems making it through an epiisode. Now, I am out within the first act (usually starting at around 1030 or 1100).

I use an iPod and listen while doing lawn work to help catch up. This weekend I ran through about 5 shows.

I am encouraged to hear both that others besides me have trouble staying awake through a whole episode (I had the same problem when I was a kid) and to realize that so many here are close to my age (36). It's cool to join with others from my generation who are working to keep radio drama alive for the next generation.
