127 - 11th Hour Collaborations: World Audio Drama Day

127 - 11th Hour Collaborations: World Audio Drama Day

Author: UberDuo Podcast Network October 28, 2017 Duration: 1:43:04
11th Hour Audio Productions exists to bring you hair raising amazing horror audio drama for World Audio Drama Day. It is all recorded edited and produced entirely during the month of October and aired on the 30th. Scary huh?

Pioneered by Monique and Matthew Boudreau with Fred Greenhalgh and more luminaries a few years ago, this year it involved 5 teams from across the world.

In this episode we interviewed the core team leaders and have fun in fathoming what Eleventh hour is all about from people who have survived doing it. Sometimes more than once. This is in the hope that you...yes you reading this right now...might be inspired to make your own Eleventh Hour show next year by jumping in and joining a team or finding your own collaborators. C'mon world! Join in!

Huge thanks to our first Guest Host Zachary Fortais-Gomme, Producer/Writer of The Orphans Podcast.

And to Anne-Marie Luff who fine tuned and professionalised Sarah's Editing!

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.
