Trek Episodes As Audio Drama

[acappellasaurus]

I am wondering what everyone's thoughts are on the topic of Trek episodes that can be listened to as audio dramas. I think there are a lot of TOS eps that lend themselves well to being listened to without visuals, but what about eps from the other series?

For me personally, I really like the visuals, not that it wouldn't be cool in audio.

Back in the days before VCR's were common in homes, my cousin would often use a basic tape recorder to record the audio from an episode or movie of TOS as it played to listen to later. I think it worked quite well. Leonard Nimoy even makes the same observation in I Am Spock when talking about the difference between Star Trek and Mission: Impossible; namely that the former could be understood listening from the next room while the latter required you pay attention to the visuals.

The visuals in TOS were important, of course, but you can eliminate them and still understand what's going on from just the audio.

Measure of a Man, Duet, The Visitor, Hard Time and In the Pale Moonlight spring to mind.
