Episode 175:

On today’s guest episode we welcome Andrea Smith to the podcast.  Andrea’s book ‘Shakespeare on the Radio’ has just been published and she kindly agreed to come on and give us some highlights from her very detailed review of Shakespeare on BBC radio in the last one hundred years.

Andrea Smith is a lecturer at the University of Suffolk, specialising in Shakespeare and audio drama.  Her research looks at how stage plays can be turned into something purely aural through voice, music, sound effects and other non-verbal noises.
