Audio drama is a scripted, performed storytelling medium that relies entirely on dialogue, narration, music, and sound design to convey plot, character, and setting. Unlike audiobooks, which typically feature a single narrator reading prose, audio drama is fully dramatized with a cast of actors, foley effects, atmospheres, and a composed or curated score. It spans genres from mystery and noir to science fiction, horror, and comedy, and is distributed via broadcast radio and, more recently, digital podcast platforms. The craft emphasizes spatial and psychological immersion through sonic cues, pacing, and vocal performance, allowing listeners to visualize scenes without visuals—often called “theatre of the mind.”
