The 1951 film does not have any characters corresponding to Joshua, Aunt Abigail, Trask, Ben et al, but the hero's name is Peter Standish which might have somehow suggested the name of Peter Bradford.

There was a William Bradford and a Miles Standish on the Mayflower.

OH I see. Yes, MP3's are smaller than CD audio files but there's a loss of quality. It's hardly noticeable to most people and usually I can't tell at all. If you have a CD with MP3 files you can get maybe 10 hours or so of high quality audio on one disk. Some people really want the full range of audio and will pay extra to buy multiple disks.

Music is rarely sold this way on CD. Most of the time MP3 disks are spoken word works.

I have to confess I haven't shopped around because they don't really interest me, so I was judging by the $19.99 list price. But $6.99 for the MP3 is much better, so thanks for sharing that for people who are interested. 

I think the $19.99 price is for the multi CD format. The cheaper price is for a single disk in MP3 format. I am buying them as MP3s. CD audio technically is higher quality, but you won't hear it on a single reader recording. The only music are the opening and closing themes.

Coincidentally, I just found this podcast in which Joanna is interviewed. She talks a bit about her childhood, growing up first in Middletown, RI and moving to Newport when she was 8. She also discusses Seaview and running home from school to watch DS.

The Cowsills were also reputedly from Newport before they were famous, but to be technical, according to Susan they were originally from Middletown. But according to Susan she could and often did walk to Newport from her house. I spoke to her when she did a free concert at Kings Park in Newport a few years ago. I never knew they were actually not technically from Newport.

Here's a link to the interview with Joanna. https://podknife.com/podcasts/tv-guidance-counselor-podcast

This is a nice piece, although there are errors. They assumed, wrongly, that Frid's appearance in "The Night Whispers" was the first audio appearance of Barnabas. Andrew Collins was in the first 4 debut CDs.

Also Joanna Going was born in Washington DC, as she said, but she spent most of her life in Newport Rhode Island, graduating from Rogers High School, a mile or so from Seaview "Collinwood" Terrace. I'm pretty sure she she moved there when she was a baby.

It's nice to see the audio series getting positive exposure. Thank you for sharing it.
 

This one is also available cheaper on Amazon. It's priced the same as #13, $6.99.

Barbara Bouchet is the blond.

Whatever happened to her? Whoever the hell she is. Painfully obvious that she recoiled from Mr. Frid when he attempted a "just for laughs" bite on her. Like he had three heads or something.
Old Man Frid, in any venue, is a pleasure to watch. Thank you for sharing.

She's best remembered as Kelinda from Andromeda in the Star Trek episode "By Any Other Name and as Moneypenny in Casino Royale. Apparently she got tired of Hollywood. She's foreign born but grew up in the US. She moved to Europe and has had a long career there. She turned up a time or two in the US at autograph shows and conventions. She's still working according to IMDb. In addition to Trek and the Bond film, she also did episodic TV here before leaving.
