Dracula Book Reading

If you are in Australia, ABC national radio is playing "Dracula" read by Michael and other artists. This isn't available for sale or ever heard online. It seems that it is there are 10 chapters.

If any Aussie fans are interested in listening to it:

From 1 March to 12 March, Monday through Friday, at 2 pm and 11 pm.

Although online listening is available, Dracula isn't available.

And if someone in Australia wants to record these on tape or such, we'd be grateful and can help get them online for fans to listen.

Thanks to sleepysheepie on Twitter and James Darcy fans, they found a way to listen to this online:

I'm not sure where on the site. I'm presuming that the area to listen is "On Air Now". Dracula is only on during Monday-Friday, so we can't check right now.

For those of us in the US, you'll have to check on Sunday, as Australia is almost a day ahead of us.

Will remind fans on Sunday.

Getting ready to listen to this soon. It's on in my area at 7 pm.

It looks like the radio programme is going to be on again on BBC:

Programme Notes

First published in 1897, the novel Dracula by Irish author Bram Stoker has never been out of print. It is often regarded as the best gothic horror novel of all time. The popularity of the world’s most notorious vampire, Count Dracula, has ensured that it remains a timeless classic.
There have been several screen adaptations of Dracula over the years, but critics have often maintained that none have ever captured the intensity and drama in Stoker's original text. This epistolary novel, comprised of journal entries, letters, newspaper clippings and a ship's log, interweave into an incredibly gripping story as the various characters intimately recount the epic legend of the Transylvanian Count.
The tale begins with Jonathan Harker’s journal - read by Michael Fassbender (X-Men: First Class, Hunger, Jane Eyre, Inglourious Basterds) - as the young newly qualified solicitor travels to a remote castle in the Carpathian Mountains to meet a wealthy client…
