  • PodTales 2019: Creating Ethical Adult Audio Drama with Tau Zaman

    Today we present Love Sounds – Creating Ethical Adult Audio Fiction, with Tau Zaman

    In this talk Tau examines when and why it's worth incorporating love and eroticism into your audio fiction — in a way that's true to your story, tasteful to your audience, and ethical for your cast and crew. Attendees walked away from this presentation empowered with tools and tips to bring out a whole new pallet of emotions and experiences in their story. Tau covers how to handle sensitive topics, best practices for writing and directing those scenes, and how to apply these techniques to broader storytelling endeavors outside of adult audio fiction.
