Wow! The response to this storytelling experiment has been amazing!
The Twitter community has really embraced this idea, retweeting it hundreds of times and in many different languages too! Mainstream publications such as Entertainment Weekly, USA Today, Wall Street Journal, CNet.com, and more have also spread the news.
Of course, we're so excited to have the amazing, bestselling and award-winning Neil Gaiman kicking things off for us at Noon EST today. He gave us a sneak peek at his opening and it's fantastically imaginative and chilling. (Just like you'd expect from the author of Coraline and The Graveyard Book!)
Then it will be up to you! Remember that you can see all the submitted tweets by searching the hashtag #bbcawdio if you like, but we'll be ...

If you're a Tolkien fan, then you might just want to make a little pilgrimage to New York City the weekend of October 9-11. That's when Radio City Music Hall will be presenting The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring in Concert! A full orchestral performance of the score from the recent hit film, created by Howard Shore, will be perfectly synchronized to accompany a screening of the 178-minute movie.
