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.

John Madden was “making movies with the lights turned out” by releasing the incredible NPR Star Wars radio drama. With the help of Brian Daley, this never before tried extended series of the original trilogy was an instant sensation and starred Mark Hamill (who Madden proclaimed as a “natural” in radio drama) and Anthony Daniels of C-3P0 fame. Other stars included Ann Sachs as Princess Leia Organa and Perry King as Han Solo (a film role he lost to Harrison Ford, but ended up playing the swashbuckling Solo longer in the extended series than Indy himself).
