Question: Audio Drama on the web

AudioTheatreFilter: I was an avid listener of SciFi.com's Seeing Ear Theatre, but the site has been stagnant for years and I've finally decided it's time to move on. So what's out there in online radio/audio drama?

I've started browsing the NPR archives (I'm a This American Life nut as is), but I'd love any reccomendations for other sites, especially those with a focus on unconventional stories. For example, the City Of Dreams series on SET captivated me wholly., I want to listen to something that makes real use of the audio medium, not just books on tape! Thanks in advance.

BBC3, BBC4 and BBC7 are GREAT sources of radio drama. There shows are generally archived for a week. And you can use an audio "TiVo," like Total Recorder to record shows that are on while you're at work or asleep.

I'm not sure if this would be your cup of tea, but I've just started enjoying the droll Australian humor of "The Sandman in The 21st" (no, it's not the Neil Gaimen one) performed by Steve Abott. Each episode lasts about three and a half minutes. I understand there's been a whole series of radio shows about the life of this character.

I know this isn't what you're after exactly, and I know you're probably aware of the site, but still: this place offers a bunch of old-time radio shows, some of which might pique your interest.
