Matthew with Kc in Anaheim. In the background is ‘The Arena’ that inspired the infamous We’re Alive storyline.

Kc Wayland isn’t just the guy behind We’re Alive and Lockdown. He’s the very reason many of us are listening to and making Audio Drama of our own.

It’s always a real pleasure to welcome him onto the show, and this is another conversation packed with insight and value.

With Lockdown in the can and available for release, Kc will also be working on an Audio Drama with Laurence Fishburne later in the year.

On top of that he’s currently writing an Audio Drama production ‘bible’ titled “Bombs Always Beep” which will form the basis for a course he’ll be teaching at a University in Southern California.

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.
