The First Episode Of... is an occasional podcast about audio drama and the creative process hosted by W. Keith Tims. In each show, I listen to the first episode of an indie audio drama, then have a discussion with the creators about the show, their methods, their struggles, and successes. It's a great conversation for anyone interested in storytelling and creativity, and with so much talent and variety out there, you're sure to find your next favorite audio drama by listening.

Customer Reviews
Much more than just a peek behind the curtain
This is one of those rare “inside baseball” kinds of shows that has strong appeal beyond what you’d consider to be the target audience (audio drama creators). Keith’s interview style is warm and engaging, and he guides his guests through discussions about their process, lessons learned, and pitfalls
Dream come true for audio lovers
The show Is well produced, organized, edited and had excellent flow!! The even features sound clips/moments from the audio dramas being talked about. Those sound clips provide a great peak into the shows style and the questions give you a peak into the creator’s mind! Excellent show for audio drama fans.
Great idea very well done
This is a wonderful resource for audio drama fans just for the info. But it’s so well done. High level of quality in the host and the editing. Way beyond what it has to be. Great show.
