The Birth of Astro- An Old-School Radio Drama Adaptation of Astro Boy

Hope everyone is having Happy Holidays and a very Merry Christmas! For this year's Christmas present to all of you is a radio play/radio drama that was suppose to be the Zelda radioplay but was dropped due to little interest. You see, if the Zelda radioplay had more interest, then I was going to work on it as a final for my Intro to Audio class at college but since that didn't happen, I had to search for an alternative and besides my teacher wanted it to be like the radio dramas from back then so I had to search something close to that era (I hope I'm not really half-assing you people with this gift! ^_^;).

Anyway, this is basically a combination of the first episodes from the 1960's Astro Boy and the 1980's Astro Boy I've adapted into a radio drama so that I could get a feeling of kids, in that time, tuning in to his adventures everyday like the radio dramas back then. I think I did all right, I'll just remember next time that if I do something like this again, I will put more effort into editing the sounds together and not doing it on cue during a live-chat on Skype, lulz.

Hope you guys enjoy and hope you guys click at the end for another surprise! Many thanks to my friend Arclad84 for helping me out on this and thanks to my father for putting with me in trying to record his lines! Also, THIS AUDIO PLAY IS DONE FOR SCHOOL PURPOSES AND FAN PURPOSES ONLY! NO COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT IS NECESSARY SINCE IT IS UNDER FAIR USE! VOICES OWNED TO THEIR RESPECTED PERSONS BELOW!

where did you get this music from?? I'm doing a "Family of the Future" project and i would LOVE to have the sort of eerie old-school sound from 0:00 to 0:06 while i do my introduction, but it needs to last approximately 30 seconds... :/ Any ideas?

@EverythingElsesTaken If you can look up the original Japanese theme of the 60's Astro Boy anime like the first episode or so, it should have the instrumental of the theme you hear here. Hope that helps! =)
