e-mail new group

The list is made up of individuals and theater companies that produce, perform or sell modern radio drama or audio theater.

Traffic on the list is usually very light unless someone starts an interesting discussion.
If you have questions, please ask. If you have a new program or a product announcement that is factual it is appropriate. (See use below)
