Line 3:
* Howard Duff was replaced as radio's [[Sam Spade]] by Steve Dunne, who sounded nothing like Duff.
* On the other hand, when Harold Peary left ''The Great Gildersleeve'', his replacement, Willard Waterman, sounded so much like Peary that few listeners could tell the difference.
* In the original series of ''[[The HitchhikersHitchhiker's Guide to Thethe Galaxy (Radioradio series)|The Hitchhikers Guide to The Galaxy]]'' the voice of the Guide was done by Peter Jones, in the new series it was William Franklyn. Lampshaded as an 'upgrading' of the guide with an extremely well-edited merging of the two voices at the beginning of the series.
* Tom Conway replaced Basil Rathbone on the old ''[[Sherlock Holmes]]'' radio series.
* On ''[[The Shadow]]'', Lamont Cranston and Margo Lane were each portrayed by a succession of voice actors.
* ''The Whistler'' was portrayed by several different actors during the course of its run.
* ''Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar'' had the distinction of being the last radio show of America's Golden Age of Radio, ending in 1961. The most popular of Johnny's six distinct voices, Mandel Kramer, also happened to be the last.
* Adric is voiced by Andrew Sachs instead of Matthew Waterhouse in the [[Big Finish Doctor Who]] audio "The Boy That Time Forgot" because Waterhouse, who last played Adric in the ''[[Doctor Who (TV)|Doctor Who]]'' serial ''Earthshock'' in 1982, declined to participate. The change is still acceptable because Adric is no longer a kid but ''several hundred years old''.
