I agree about Radio Dramas/Audio Plays (my name for them). If done properly they can be excellent and more entertaining that the printed book. As an example, I've got the audio play of the comic miniseries
Infinite Crisis and it is excellent. They employ a full voice cast and each is excellent, especially since you have duplicates of many characters such as Superman, Lex Luthor, Wonder Woman, and Superboy. Despite the similarities, each sounds a bit different so you can tell them apart. They also provide additional information that came from outside of the miniseries, such as the murder of Blue Beetle (Ted Kord) and other events that are going on such as The Spectre's mission to destroy magic because he thinks it's evil.
Another excellent one is
Dreamland starring Brent Spiner and Maude Maggart. It's about a man who falls asleep and while asleep he enters another world where he has an adventure. It features many classic songs from the Popular American Songbook that Spiner and Maggard sing.
