I鈥檇 encourage everyone to think about writing for radio. Really, it鈥檚 an amazing medium, prosaic and poetic all at the same time; you can set anything anywhere 鈥� the possibilities are endless. There鈥檚 no medium quite like it.
The 大象传媒 Radio 3 programme The Verb is a weekly "Cabaret of the Word", featuring the best poetry, new writing and performance, presented by Ian McMillan. The programme has regularly collaborated with us at the 大象传媒 Writersroom, offering the opportunity for writers from our development groups to gain a short audio drama commission and the chance to appear as a guest in The Verb studio.
Having been selected, the writers undergo a thorough development process with a 大象传媒 Audio Drama North Producer. Find out more about the previous writers who were commissioned and listen to their audio dramas.
