Hi! Has anyone here produced a radioplay before or know people who have and do? I'm writing a Sci-Fi radioplay at the moment and I've contacted companies like QCODE, Radiotopia etc. before, but none of them have replied to me. I started out my media passion at a radio station and I feel like fictional podcasts and radioplays are very popular at the moment.
I appreciate any help!
That sounds really cool, actually. I don't have experience with radioplay though. Best of luck!
I have some friends who have a weekly (more or less) Radio Redux show but I doubt that it would do any good in Germany.
Hey, Jana Forkel - maybe you could start with a table read? That might help highlight the areas that don't make sense on their own and might need radioplay narration, sound effects, and/or music. Do you have comparisons? I'm quite fond of BBC RadioOne's version of Good Omens myself.

Hello Jana Forkel! Podcasts are massively popular right now, and many of them are making the coveted move to TV (Homecoming, Dirty John, Lore, etc). We are actually hosting a great webinar taught by Netflix director Mike Desa about How to Produce your Own Successful Podcast - https://www.stage32.com/webinars/The-Ins-and-Outs-of-Producing-Your-Own-... - I hope this helps! Happy podcasting :)

You can check nycplaywrights.org ; they frequently post radio play opportunities there.
Thank you for the advice!
I started on converting one of my short stories (Dead Heads on my logline page) to an audiodrama.
Go to waylandproductions.com - they're behind the massively popular "We're Alive" series. They're also open to giving advice to newcomers. And KC Wayland wrote a book, "Bombs Always Beep," a definitive guide to audiodrama, from picking your concept, to lists of equipment for all budgets, to production (and post) to distribution.
And if I can help in any way, let me know!

Thanks for such great resources, Maroun Rached, Meg Stone, John Ellis! I feel like this would make a good subject for talent on the Acting Lounge as well - would y'all share these resources there, too? https://www.stage32.com/lounge/acting
I was supervising producer on a 3d animation conversion of the early 1980s radio series Alien Worlds. Part of the challenges were dealing with the fully mixed soundtrack, which we had to examine a lot. So I have some perspective on this, if you are interested.
Great information, Bamutiire Jerry Edmund, thanks for sharing!
Victor Ramon Mojica Yep, "Narrative Podcasts" are the new "radio plays"!
I know some folk at the Radio Redux Show - if you have something I can show 'em.
