So far listeners have been treated to histories of Charles Manson’s Hollywood, MGM Studios, the Hollywood Blacklist, the many loves of Howard Hughes and Star Wars - a history of Hollywood actors during World War II.

    This podcast is based on the simple idea of taking Hollywood scripts that have not yet been made into films and presenting them as full length radio plays, performed by Hollywood actors. The podcast is hosted by Leonard Franklin’s Black List site, which exists to support screenwriters by recommending their work to industry producers and professionals. Another interesting resources on the Black List site is 500 Feminist Films, a list of films (with links to imdb) based on a simple set of criteria: to qualify as a feminist film the film must have at least one of the following: a female director; a female screenwriter; a female lead; or features strong pro-woman themes. The list could be a good starting point for classroom/semimar discussion on the subject. The Table Reads podcast is also freely available in iTunes

    There are nearly 200 of these podcasts available to listen to or download (in mp3 format). Each episode lasts between ten and twenty-five minutes and simply consists of an audio version of the person’s entry from the ODNB. The eclectic selection covers writers, politicians, scientists, entertainers and sportsmen and women, as well as ‘Wartime lives’, ‘Criminal lives’ and ‘One-offs’. The selection covers the very well-known - from the Emperor Hadrian and Boudicca, to Captain Scott, J.R.R. Tolkien and Princess Diana. The less obvious choices possibly provide more interesting fare: Nora Joyce, Humphrey Lyttelton, Angela Carter and Charles Darwin’s daughter Anne, to name just a few. Other names are not well-known but are remarkable in some way, such as the biographies of Herbert Burden, a World War I soldier, executed for desertion and Hannah Snell, an 18th century British woman who disguised herself as a man and became a soldier.
