rufus@discuss.tchncs.de 1 year agoThanks. Are you from the UK? Because I’ve heard about BBC audio drama, Douglas Adams radio dramas etc…
Just out of curiosity: Do American people use that term, too? Do they listen to the radio and fiction/drama is part of radio in the US?
But thanks for all the terms. I think I can live with ‘radio play’, ‘drama’ and a ‘full-cast’ if I want to specify.
The closest we have to radio plays and audio drama are podcasts. Except for some very niche stations, nobody is broadcasting fictional stories over American radio waves.
Talk radio now is more news and conversation. Not episodes of Dick Tracy or Little Orphan Annie like we had in the first half of the 1900s.

Yes, UK (sorry, should have said). And yes, the BBC commissions the vast majority of drama for radio. No idea if the US has any kind of equivalent.
