An audio drama is a dramatized, purely acoustic performance. It is often in the
form of radio plays, which are plays that have been adapted for audio. These
plays generally feature sound effects, music, and actors. An audio drama
shouldn’t be confused with an audiobook, which is the reading of a story for
the medium of audio. These can, sometimes, include music and sound effects,
too. Audio drama, specifically that of the late 1920’s and 30’s, are what
inspired me to create Retrospection Radio. Audio drama is still quite popular
today, with some more famous audio drama podcasts including Wolf 359, The
Magnus Archives, and Welcome to Night Vale. We, like the other audio dramas I
just listed, have gained inspiration from that time period. But audio drama was
actually around long before it’s rise. Today, we’ll be discussing the early
history of audio drama, leading to the rise in popularity in the 1920s.
