“Throughout history, there has always been a chasm between the bulk of humanity and the enigmatic circle who hold true dominion.

We often forget the absolute magic of the audio story. If we go back to our childhood, we can remember being read to- even if we couldn’t see the page. Our imagination fills in the worlds that are drummed up through sound in a way that the visual medium could never accomplish. If you don’t believe me, try this experiment some time. Turn on a television show on TV and make sure you can’t see the picture. You’ll be able to follow along in most cases to the story. Then try the reverse. Watch the show without sound, and you may get the broad strokes, but more likely you’ll miss out on what is actually happening.
Still don’t believe me? Ask David Tennant and Kenneth Branagh

Forbes knew it was coming two years ago.
In an article written by Chris Giliberti, from Gimlet Media entitled 6 Reasons Why Podcasting is the Future of Storytelling, Giliberti identifies why podcasting- and oral storytelling (we would argue audio drama) is key and king.
In a nutshell the business-side is starting to catch up with the creative folks:
The truth is we’re genetically predisposed towards stories- good stories. As a native tradition suggests: Human beings have four great appetites. The first is food and a human can go weeks without eating. The second is water and a human can go days without drinking. The third is air and a human can go minutes without breathing, and the last is imagination and if a human’s imagination disappears for a moment they seek to exist and all things around them.
Story is simply the building block of life. Nothing exists without it. And the best way through is listening to stories. Listen to a story today!
