Marje's comments
www.peopletalk.libsyn.com is an audio site dealing with audio books and interviews with people, about their lives, stories and anecdotal social history. I am fascinated by Nigel Killick's walking audio tours around south England and his interviews of local people. He includes photographs on the website.  A number of literary works are read by professional actors with beautiful voices.... I especially enjoy Cleopatra, ready by Sandra Ventris. She has a beautiful voice ...

Hello peopletalk,

I just wanted to let you know that the Murder Walk is fabulous! Well done, entertaining and mysterious. I'm listening to the Bringthon Pier now, it's really great too! Can't wait for more productions!
Cheers, Conrad in Belgium

Peopletalk, you have outdone yourself. Tom and I can never thank you enough. This is something we love to listen to! *hugs* Thank you!!! posted by: Claire Garcias

I belong to a passionate local theater group from Texas and only found your site a couple of months ago. You bring the best elements of classic and new audio drama to your audience. I enjoyed "The Tenants of History ", read by Isabel Woods. Gloria B. Mayfield, Texas.
--------------------------
With thousands of podcasts being created each week, it’s easy to get sidetracked while looking for new drama. However, over the past few years only a few number of Drama podcasts have separated themselves from the pack, making it simple to know which sites need to be part of your weekly excursions on the web. I am glad that I found peopletalk. I have just listened to Isabel Woods reading of The Tenants of History by Michael Edmonds, very entertaining. Anne Clark Vancouver Canada
----------------------
Just a quick email to let you know how much I enjoyed your reading of The End of the Path. A very unusal story, left me wanting to hear more read by you.
-----------------------
It sounds like an unusual thing to want to do, at least here in North America, where audio drama as popular entertainment had its heyday in the ’30s and ’40s. But there are a surprising number of people out now producing good drama. Peopletalk has some excellent actors and you produce some of the best-sound work you’ll hear anywhere on the web. I really enjoyed "The End of the Path" by Newbold Noyes and a great reading by Scott Haney. Keep up the good work. Aaron Hatefutsoth, New York.
-------------------
A good story, production as perfect as humanly possible. Impeccable direction, stylish acting, a lavish listen. A.Goias

I have just spent the last half hour listening to Tony Diamond's story what an amazing adventure although sad yet funny at times, I felt as if I was there with him and cant wait to read the book. J Hynes

Zulu
With associate producer and editor Josie Bloom, David is currently busy producing his latest documentary Zulu which is about the 1964 adventure film, which depicts the Battle of Rorke's Drift between the British Army and the Zulus in 1879.
 
The documentary centres around the film, - the key figures involved in making the film, the actors, the filmmakers and the soldiers who fought at Rorke’s Drift, in addition to discussing whether the film accurately portrays the historical events on which the film is based. 
 
The documentary combines archive news reports from Victorian England and also features interviews with the film historians Dr Sheldon Hall and Julian Fox, in addition to the acclaimed historians and Anglo Zulu War experts Ian Knight and Dr Macadam.  In the documentary, David guides the listener through the complicated political minefield and reasons for the war, while giving the listener a snapshot picture of the individuals involved, including the fascinating tale of the defeated Zulu king Cetawayo who visited England to have tea with Queen Victoria.

Vanessa Bolt is currently working hard on her own production of Lusting after Pipino's Wife at the Tabard Theatre London.

Bolt Productions presents

LUSTING AFTER PIPINO'S WIFE
by Sam Henry Kass
Directed by Frank Tamburin

Lusting after Pipino’s wife is a bitterly sharp, caustic comedy set on the urban battlefront of the war of the sexes.

Vinnie and Lorraine are the opposing generals with their respective best friends, Patsy and Rita as their soldiers in the trenches.

Surreal twists, squirrel hunting, bar philosophy and an obsessive fondness for guns see both genders use sex as their chosen weapon.

Will they make the ultimate commitment or be committed? Who really has the upper hand? Does the enigmatic Pipino have the answers?

Show Dates and Times:
30 September- 18 October 08

Of all the beautiful women of history, none has left us such convincing
proofs of her charms as Cleopatra, for the tide of Rome's destiny, and,
therefore, that of the world, turned aside because of her beauty. Julius
Caesar, whose legions trampled the conquered world from Canopus to the Thames, capitulated to her, and Mark Antony threw a fleet, an empire and his own honor to the winds to follow her to his destruction. Disarmed at last before the frigid Octavius, she found her peerless body measured by the cold eye of her captor only for the triumphal procession, and the friendly asp alone spared her Rome's crowning ignominy.

2008 - 50th anniversary of Marie Killick's victory
over Pye Radio's in the Appeal Court on 21st July 1958
 
"Between 1953 and 1961 Marie Louise Killick fought and won a long and bitter battle with Pye Radio over the infringement of her 1945 patent for the truncated sapphire stylus used in sound reproductions of 78 rpm and the 'new' 33 rpm microgroove recordings." (Inventors World Issue 4 winter 1995)

" One of the most celebrated patent litigation cases ever to become
enshrined in case books for patent lawyers and patent agents makes its
40th anniversary this year. In the annals of invention it is virtually
unprecedented, yet its beginnings, as so often happens, were some what
inconspicuous." (Inventors World Issue 4 winter 1995)

THE PENSIONER

The strange sad story of an honourable and foolish man.

"He hated Miss Crewe intensely, but he had undertaken to provide for her, and provide for her he must—even if he failed to provide for himself, and so he continued to pay Miss Crewe her one hundred and fiftypounds each year.
