    I’m thinking more theater of the absurd.

    Radio? Did we time travel back to 1930?

    The theatre of the mind" comes from radio jargon, where the term indicates the collected ability, styles, tools, and techniques by which radio performers conjure vivid imagery in their audiences’ minds through sound alone. It’s used to contrast radio against visual mediums like plays, films, and books, which use additional sets of tools to conjure imagery. Orson Welles’ famous War of the Worlds broadcast was part of a series of radio dramas called “The Mercury Theatre on the Air,” and Steve Allen quipped, “Radio is the theater of the mind; television is the theater of the mindless.” – RPG.sTackexchange .Com

    Just remember the kid who told the BBC that he “liked radio over TV because the pictures were better”.

    It’s still scary. Have it on CD and listened to it last night. With no way to check (at 8PM) totally believable.

    Now come on, Jimbo. There is no way in Hades that an eight year-old lving in the 21st Century would associate radio with anything other than listening to music. And I’m not even sure that many of them would even know that conventional radio exists.

    Firesign Theater made a career out of the theater of the mind.

    This is “Gasoline Alley” so shouldn’t they be talking about Theater of the Mindless?
