Wow, this is an excellent list!
Apart from BBC Radio, I had no idea of the breadth of the revival in "radio" drama! It makes sense that an independent movement would flourish given today's ease of distribution. But I think the X-factor in radio drama's survival is just that it is such a fantastic medium for storytelling. The way the inner visual centers of the brain light up when you are fully immersed is certainly worthy of some kind of neurological fMRI analysis ;)
- internaut 10y agoYeah I think it is going to get really big in a sleeper hit kind of way, much of the material is just superb, like nothing you've ever heard on the traditional radio, which is almost all overly hyped boring rubbish. Our Fair City I actually sponsor and I give money to the independent efforts that impress me. Horror in particular is exceptional with audio drama. We're Alive is better than any recent horror or action movie I've seen for the last three-five years with maybe the exception of the recent Mad Max. In the non-fiction realm History is also going to become intense I think, Dan Carlin is going to get plenty of competition.
