I am a huge fan of radio dramas.  There is something about listening to a story and imagining what you would see based on what you hear.  It’s magical.  So much so that my college senior thesis was an original radio drama.  Well, in truth, it was a superhero radio adventure.  But there was something about telling the story through sound that made me want to do it.

Sadly, with some exceptions, radio dramas have fallen out of favor.  There are some still in production, but the golden age of the radio drama is gone.  Thankfully, we still have a number of internet sites and podcasts that work to keep these dramas alive.
