I think I’ve been saying this for some years now, and most recently in the Bill Hollweg Retrospective but Dirk Maggs is to the audio drama medium as Steven Spielberg is to movies. Master of the Film Source of the modern audio drama movement, Mr. Maggs has been working tirelessly producing action adventure audio for many years now.

So naturally Audible Range asked the question Who is this Dirk Maggs and why does he rule so hard? Because one of the wonderful things about Audio Drama is it keeps getting rediscovered again and again!

Dirk speaks about his experiences with audio drama and his new X-Files release. Check out the interview, and if you want to hear the man himself as he abides, check out our interview Maggsnifiscent Audio.

Yet more evidence that the world of Audio Drama is heating up by Audible‘s announcement, The Conversation has an article entitlted: How podcasting is having a major revival with new audio productions of The X-Files and Doctor Who. Looking at some of the exciting releases like The Invisible Man, Homecoming, Doctor Who, Bronzeville, and X-Files. Everyone is starting to jump on the audio drama bandwagon:

Starting in November, the US psychological thriller Homecoming was released as a podcast staring David Schwimmer, Oscar Isaacs and Catherine Keener. This was followed by the Bronzeville serial starring Larenz Tate and Lawrence Fishburn, which brought 1940s underworld Chicago to life.

Over in the UK a number of classics have been making headlines as richly imagined audio productions. The Invisible Man, released in February starring John Hurt, kicked off a series of high-quality HG Wells releases for production company Big Finish, and in April Wireless Theatre Company produced Black Beauty with Samuel West and Tamzin Outhwaite.

Meanwhile Doctor Who fans are thrilled to hear that the popular pairing of David Tennant and Billy Piper are back, opening the Tardis door on a new run of audio adventures. And David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson will be reprising their classic roles this July in X-Files: Cold Cases on Audible.

But then, why wouldn’t you?
