067 - Developing Story Ideas. AudioFlix

Author: UberDuo Podcast Network October 25, 2015 Duration: 46:44
Story ideas probably creep up on you all the time, you could be in the shower, out running, or lying in your bed. They could be fully fledged story ideas, fragments of stories, individual scenes, or short snippets of conversations. The point is, where do you go from here? Regular ADPP contributor Steve Schneider talks through his own process in dealing with these ideas, how he documents and attempts to pull them all together so that they might actually become Audio Dramas one day. Perhaps this method might work well for you? Or maybe you already have a similar system in place – if so, why not get in touch and share it with us.

Elsewhere, everyone’s favorite Belgian Audio Dramatist Domien De Groot (Witch Hunter Chronicles, Will of the Woods) debuts as our first ever guest interviewer. He caught up with Tim Knofler, the man behind new Audio Drama streaming subscription service AudioFlix to find out more about the project, and if this will be the “Netflix for Audio Drama” that has been so widely discussed in recent years.

For anyone who has ever been captivated by a story told only through sound and wondered, "How do they do that?"-this is for you. The Audio Drama Production Podcast, from the UberDuo Podcast Network, is a deep, practical dive into the craft of building worlds with audio. It moves beyond simple advice to explore the entire process of bringing fictional narratives to life in your ears. Each episode tackles the specific, often unspoken challenges of writing for the ear, directing voice actors, designing immersive soundscapes, and weaving it all together in the edit. You'll hear about the technical choices behind convincing ambiance and the narrative techniques that make characters feel present in the room. Whether you're a writer curious about scripting without visuals, a producer figuring out remote recording sessions, or a creator wondering how to distribute your finished work, this podcast serves as a constant workshop. It’s a resource for making any form of audio fiction-call it a radio play, an audio drama, or a fiction podcast-focusing on the tangible skills and creative problem-solving required from initial idea to final master. The discussions are grounded in real production experience, offering a clear path through the complexities of this unique storytelling medium.
