Goodman is also a respected radio actor, most notably as Leopold Bloom in BBC Radio 4's all-day adaptation of James Joyce's Ulysses for 'Bloomsday' in 2012. He has also played author and chemist Primo Levi and a large number of other, often Jewish, characters on Radio 4.

In his auto-biography, Antony Sher says Goodman's Shylock is 'quite simply the best'. He reprised his role for a television film which was released in 2004.
