Listening to the Megilla with Limited Concentration

It troubles me that I often daydream and/or doze off for a few words during Megilla reading. Do I fulfill the mitzva under those circumstances?

Hearing the Megilla for Those Who Cannot Go to Shul

If one who is not a ba’al koreh cannot make it to shul to hear Megillat Esther, how else can he fulfill the mitzva of hearing it?

Purim Meshulash

Could you please review some of the rules and rationale of the practices of Purim Meshulash (Triple Purim) in Yerushalayim?

Early Reading of Megillat Esther

I am working on a Megilla reading program to attract families with children (not consistent shul-goers) for Purim evening (the children attend public school in the morning). Due to daylight savings time and our geographic position, tzeit hakochavim will not be until around 8 PM, a time that would discourage families from coming. May we read the Megilla from plag hamincha (11/4 hours before sunset)?
