Radio Drama Revival

Showcasing the diversity and vitality of modern audio drama

Talk of the Nation Talks… Audio

August 30, 2007 By Fred

Thanks to Brian Price of Great Northern Audio Theater for sharing a great link to an NPR story this past weekend on the thriving audio book industry in an age of declining book sales. Of particular interest to me was the chat with Robin Whitten of Audiofile Magazine, the great audiobooks (and fair share of audio theater) magazine produced nowhere else than Portland, Maine! She makes a great case for audiobooks being treated as real reading and not some sort of inferior habit for the visually disinclined, as well as sharing some commentary on how the properties of our digital world are changing the way audiobooks are shared.

Overall, great to hear an NPR story about audiobooks even though audio theater hardly makes a bubble in this story, as we can only hope that greater awareness of audio stories spurs people to try even more adventurous listening.
