I broke in with audio drama, first with serials for Independent Local Radio and then with sales in some of Radio 4’s prestige slots – Saturday Night Theatre, The Afternoon Play, The Man in Black anthologies with Edward de Souza hosting. With the rise of podcast and streaming drama we’re seeing new techniques in production, distribution and consumption, but the skillset for the writer remains the same. And I still reckon it’s an enormously valuable skill for a writer to acquire. It was in radio that I learned to handle scenes and structure in a way that’s served me in every other medium since.
