BBC Radio 3: Slaughterhouse 5 [RADIO DRAMA]

This Radio Times column is announcing that BBC Radio 3 will have a radio drama adaptation of Kurt Vonnegut’s novel Slaughterhouse 5 airing on September 20, 2009. I belive this makes it the world exclusive premiere of this novel in radio drama. I’m betting that because of it a lot of people are going to be visiting RadioArchive.cc or installing Radio Downloader just to get it.
