In the Guardian newspaper, Miranda Sawyer asks a very simple question: Why are Americans so much better at making podcasts than the British?
I for one think that Ms. Sawyer has the ideas backwards. She suggests in the article that you have to do massively produced shows to get them to be successful and that the British podcasters don’t do that. But the truth is, Serial is an NPR show, and if the BBC wanted to throw its weight and creativity around a “Serial type” podcast, it would do just as cracking, I would say.
In the end, people are hungry for good stories. Isn’t that why we love Radio Drama in the first place?
