Sffaudio #71 had a pretty good interview with George Zarr of Seeing Ear Theatre, the company that made audiodramas for the old scifi.com website — http://www.sffaudio.com/?p=22707 . A lot of mp3′s of the old dramas are linked as well. It was mistakenly numbered as episode #70, so I forgive you for missing it.
