Aside from Plots and Reviews (the bread and butter of this site), my database contains much that I find interesting - author/cast names, alternate names, birth/death dates, and fun biographical facts, in addition to the original publication dates for written stories and any awards they have received. Where possible I have gleaned information directly, by listening to each radio program, but the correct spelling of names and titles is particularly difficult, especially when audio quality is poor or the names are obscure. Many errors likely remain.

Besides, I am not a Primary researcher - I don't search through old newspaper articles or radio magazines. So, I have relied heavily on the exhaustive research of others to whom I am grateful! The following sources have proven invaluable in developing my own database. Seriously. These people are inexhaustible and words fail me. You'll just have to check them out and go for a test drive!
