Who hasn't been listening to their favorite podcasts on repeat? We can't get enough of them, and narrative podcasts, in particular, have exploded recently. Homecoming, anyone? Turns out, there's a whole host of benefits to making an audio drama: the barrier to entry is low, you get to be the one in control of the storytelling, and it's a great way to showcase your work and get your voice out there!
