Isaac Asimov's The Foundation Trilogy (Foundations, Foundation and Empire, Second Foundation) as adapted by the BBC in 1973, in eight one hour long episodes, part of the Open Source Audio collection on Archive.org (free to download and/or stream) | Internet Archive - http://www.archive.org/details...
Read this when I was a kid. Love to think of all the tech that Asimov thought of that's actually come to pass...

Well acted radio play, the abridgement/adaptation is also very well done through the first one and a half episodes.

@MWM why just the first one and a half? does it get crappy after that or is that just how far you are into it?

OMG, I had no idea this existed... Foundation trilogy still tops on my SF list. Will definitely check these out.

I only discovered it an hour and a half ago ;)

Download 'em quick. I'm willing to bet the BBC doesn't know someone uploaded them there. The BBC is pretty aggressive about copyright and region restriction.

I'm really digging the sound effects. The acting is properly stiff. I approve.

@Spidra I doubt it: "This audio is part of the collection: Open Source Audio"

These have been online for years, I'm sure the BBC knows they're up. Most public libraries even have them.

I will enjoy making my spouse listen to this ;)

I'm through 5 and a half and it is making me quite certain I will be reading the trilogy yet again in the coming days.
