  The Return of Radio Goggles Review Round-Up

Chicago Reader - Recommended

"...All three pieces are earnest, delightfully hammy, and, at their most imaginative, a real hoot. Bryan Campbell is especially fun to watch as a charming-but-sinister martian in disguise; Eli Branson gets copious laughs a la Harpo Marx. I only wish that the production did a better job of sustaining its playfulness. Radio Goggles hits a point of diminishing returns and drags a bit before it's over."

NewCity Chicago - Highly Recommended

"...Old-time radio shows found magic in creating a world that allowed listeners to use their imaginations. Oracle’s production of three radio dramas interferes in that process, but their various stagings prove interesting substitutes for the mental landscape."

Chicago Now - Highly Recommended

"...Back in the olden days... Before we could watch movies on our cellphones, Ipads, and televisions, people huddled around their radios to listen to weekly serials. With only auditory, they had to imagine how the story unfolded visually. Last summer, Oracle invented a way to look back at past radio shows and really see what was going on. And this summer, they’re bringing it back."
