This is one of those rare “inside baseball” kinds of shows that has strong appeal beyond what you’d consider to be the target audience (audio drama creators). Keith’s interview style is warm and engaging, and he guides his guests through discussions about their process, lessons learned, and pitfalls

United States3 years ago Cannot recommend this podcast enough! Whether you are a veteran audio drama creator or a listener looking to dive deeper into the world of story telling through podcasts, there is no better resource. Hearing all the different ways people came to creating audio drama is absolutely fascinating, and getting first hand accounts about what goes into audio drama creation is invaluable to anyone looking to create their own stories through sound. Keith is truly the James Lipton of the audio drama world.... more

A great idea for a podcast. It’s fun to hear other audio drama people nerd out on their projects - the creative process, as well as the nuts and bolts stuff related to audio dramas and podcasting in particular. W Keith asks insightful questions, the ones I’d want to ask. Highly recommend for any creative person.

The show Is well produced, organized, edited and had excellent flow!! The even features sound clips/moments from the audio dramas being talked about. Those sound clips provide a great peak into the shows style and the questions give you a peak into the creator’s mind! Excellent show for audio drama fans.
