Terry Pratchett’s agent, Colin Smythe, writes to say that Publishers Weekly have listed their Listen Up Awards for 2005. There are three winners in the Science Fiction/Fantasy section. These are Terry Pratchett’s Thud!, read by Stephen Briggs, Ben Bova’s Mercury, read by Stefan Rudnicki, Arte Johnson, and Moira Quirk, and Douglas Adams’s The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy: The Tertiary Phase, read by Adams, Simon Jones, Geoffrey McGivern, Susan Sheridan, and the rest of the cast.
As it happens, one of the members of the rest of the cast is Roger Gregg, the prime mover behind Ireland’s Crazy Dog Audio Theatre, who have themselves recently won an award for their most recent production, The Last Harbinger. It was presented with the Audio Comedy Of The Year award, otherwise knows as the Golden Giggle, for the year’s best comedy on Irish radio, in the 2005 Hot Press awards. The Last Harbinger was originally broadcast on RTÉ Radio 1 in May 2005.
