I agree, Karen, and I'll add that, even were Joe
himself to make the film version of one of his
stories, right away it gets compartmentalized into the
four walls of the TV screen. We are primarliy visual
creatures, trained to take in what we see and assess
it as accurately as possible. Hearing a story makes
it so much more open to suggestion and interpretation,
to fantasy and development by our own imaginations.
I'm glad Joe's on radio. Joe is the storyteller, but
the stroy is a true interaction between storyteller
and listener.
I'm glad Joe's on radio, too. I feel there is something, of necessity,
exterior about the visual experience; the aural experience is much more interior,
thus limitless. Sometimes his voice alone IS the story. Just as an
experiment, I have occasionally listened to his programs from another room, not really
catching the words themselves, yet still taken to another place by the power
and honesty of that amazing voice. (If anyone on this site has ever caught
his voiceovers on Animal Planet's "Animal Rescues," he can infuse pulling a
horse from a creek with Biblical significance.)
