Nick Douglas ,

Smart advice and unusually creative

Sarah and Lindsay put way more work into this than they had to, and that makes this my favorite podcast on how to write audio fiction. They use a deep artistic and literary background to explain good storytelling, plus they explore what makes writing audio drama special. This show gives a great overview of the major aspects of writing dramatically.

It also demonstrates these lessons through its dramatized scenes, which transcend the usual weak "sample scenes" and become engaging fiction themselves.
