Despite what some podcasters might say, audio drama is not a ‘new form’. It has a long history that can’t be swept aside. But how does the drama we listen to through podcasts do things differently? In this episode we’ll attempt to define ‘podcast drama’ as a new genre and explore what the future holds for it. We also hear thoughts from The Truth’s Jonathan Mitchell and We’re Alive’s KC Wayland.
