Back when Radio was a national pastime, people used to sit around and
listen to radio dramatic stories, told, narrated, acted, scored and full
of sound effects, just like watching an old black and white movie w/out
the picture.  But better, because these were produced knowing that sound
was the only sense available, and they had to engage the listeners
imagination.  Some were dreadfully cheesy, but some were fantastic, and
kids couldn't stop listening.

See stations such as:

For anyone too young, or who yet heard Orson Welles War of the Worlds,
spend some time to listen to it.  It terrified the nation.
