Live from the Contains Strong Language festival in Leeds, today鈥檚 rich audio drama scene is celebrated against the backdrop of the 100th anniversary of 大象传媒 radio drama. The corporation broadcast a single scene from Shakespeare鈥檚 Julius Caesar in February 1923, before going on to commission more radio drama than any other organisation. So what makes a great audio drama? What鈥檚 unique about it for the writers and actors taking part? And what does the future hold as audio industries and technologies evolve? Actor Matthew Gravelle (Broadchurch), producer Benbrick (Have You Head George鈥檚 Podcast?), sound designer Eloise Whitmore, and writers Katie Hims and Michael Symmons Roberts join Front Row鈥檚 Nick Ahad to discuss.

Producer: Ruth Thomson
