I know I'm late to the party, but I'm surprised nobody mentioned the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series - It's a BBC Radio Play, but was my first exposure to the story, and a fantastic one at that. I also really enjoyed the Star Wars radio drama.

Also, the world's first exposure. The BBC Radio Play preceded the books (the first two “phases” preceded the first two books, more specifically.)
