Frederick Greenhalgh of Radio Drama Revival podcast and radio show sez:
“My latest story, “Waiting for a Window,” is at long last up on my podcast. While I welcome people to check out the show on the podcast, I would ESPECIALLY encourage them to buy it on Echo Fiction.”
This FinalRune Productions is an original story of a man waylaid on his way somewhere else, Waiting for a Window stars Bill Dufris (William Dufris), Joe Duley, Charly Duley, Ed Patterson and Philip Hobby. And it features original music by Barb Truex.
Waiting For A Window

Podcaster: Radio Drama Revival
Podcast: September 26th 2008
Fred gave me a chance to listen to the high quality version. I’d describe it as a richly atmospheric and rather nautical version of Waiting For Godot. Or perhaps as a sailor’s version of The Prisoner. But, it’s not so much scary as it is comforting. A tall tale of the sea and a fine sounding audio drama.
