When I was a kid in Europe, they used to play CBS Radio Mystery Theater on the English-language radio station for the American military forces stationed there. I liked those, too. I hated history as a subject, but they did a dramatization of The Murder of Caesar that always stuck with me. Guess I just needed history to be entertaining to get something from it.
Thanks for reminding me of this. I spend a lot of time behind the wheel for my new(ish) job, so I could use this type of entertainment as most podcasts I've tried just don't do it for me. The only spoken thing I listen to with any regularity is Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me, which isn't even really a podcast.
