Don't know anything about radio dramas? Here's what the original post has to say.
Radio plays - theater without a visual component - were popular in the early 1930s and 40s. As there were no visuals, they had to rely purely on sound to create a compelling story. While they disappeared with the advent of television, radio plays remain to this day a unique and interesting form of storytelling, and today is your chance to dabble in it.
