Imagination Theatre

For over forty years, Seattle-based radio personality Jim French kept the flame of radio drama alive with Imagination Theatre! Noir-ish private eye Harry Nile, globetrotting adventurer Dameron, Kincaid The Strangeseeker, the methodical investigator Mr. Darnborough — plus fresh new takes on Raffles The Gentleman Thief, and even Sherlock Holmes himself – all had compelling stories to tell.

Here is a collection of some of Jim French’s best work. It’s new-time radio in the old-time style!
