Publisher's Summary
The opening episode begins on Trantor, capital of the Galactic Empire, with the meeting of Seldon and Dornick, their trial, and their exile to Terminus. The action then jumps forward 50 years, to the first Seldon Crisis, where the repercussions of the recent independence of the Four Kingdoms of the Periphery are being felt on Terminus, and are handled by the first Mayor, Salvor Hardin. The scene then moves forward a further 20 years, as Mayor Hardin faces down the domination of the nearby and most powerful Kingdom, Anacreon.
The Merchant Princes
One-hundred-fifty years after the Foundation was established, the now powerful trading nation faces its greatest threat to date, guided by master trader Hober Mallow.
The General
Two hundred years after its creation, the Foundation battles Bel Riose, the last powerful General of the dying Galactic Empire.
The Mule
A further hundred years have passed, and the Foundation is challenged by an unexpected threat named The Mule.
Flight from the Mule
During the war against The Mule, with things going badly for the Foundation, some key figures under the leadership of the Foundation's greatest scientist, Ebling Mis, flee Terminus in search of the Second Foundation, to warn it of the danger from The Mule.
The Mule Finds
The Mule attempts to find and overthrow the Second Foundation.
Star's End
Sixty years later, and a teenage girl is at the center of the Foundation's renewed search for the Second Foundation.
Changes from the written Trilogy: The conflict between The Foundation and Anacreon takes place 70 years into the Foundation era; in the novels it occurs at 80 F.E. A small segment in Foundation titled "Traders" has been removed entirely. General editing for time has been done throughout. A large, rather comedic section on farming on Rossem has been added to "The Mule Finds".
Please note: This is an historical broadcast recording, produced by the BBC in 1973. The audio quality represents the technology of the time when it was produced.More from the same

great despite the sound problems
First up, I want to comment on the sound problems right away. Yes, the recording is extremely poor. Perhaps, it's accidental. It's almost like somebody kept a microphone in front of the radio, and that recorded had a 'high bass' setting, so, the sfx is loud, voices are not loud enough. it's like listening to a radio drama, but when the signal is really terrible.
Now, I am willing to make peace with it, for a few reasons. There seems to be a lack of isaac asimov content on audible.
Second, this is a dramatisation. Since we cannot get a proper adaptation of the asimov books for whatever reason, this should do. Once you allow your mind and ears to adjust, the whole book becomes enjoyable. Also, the price is super cheap. Seems like the sellers know the product is bad, and are accepting of it.
Now, the foundation trilogy itself is an amazing story. The audio drama moves real fast, from scene to scene. Think of it as a summary of the story with dialogue lines picked verbatim.

Overwhelmed
The background effects were too loud in comparison to the dialogue. Dramatized version adds colour to characters but I missed the detailed descriptions of the original.

Terrible audio quality
A great work ruined by a very antiquated production/ recording that is not legible most of the time.
