In the 1930s, at the height of the Golden Age radio era in the United States, the mysterious Shadow knew “what evil lurked in the hearts of men.” Today, audio drama can share that secret, and more, in a field that is burgeoning but still presents artistic and technical challenges. This webinar will provide a useful introduction and tool kit for producers looking to enter this field and engage with a form that remains every bit as compelling as when Orson Welles whispered in the ears of the whole country.
