Radio is Imagination. Radio is a medium of endless possibilities. The only limit is your own imagination. Stories in sound. Radio can engage the audience more fully than any other medium. You hear a voice, a sound effect, a pause, another voice; perhaps some music. Just a few sounds coming out of a small speaker. But those sounds can have immense impact and power, because you participate in what they create: you complete the picture; you visualize the scene; you are in the story. For the writer, radio can be the most creative medium of all. This course covers nearly every aspect of writing for radio: comedy gags, sketches and shows; radio sitcoms and series; short drama; full-length drama; radio ads - and beyond, to explore all the possibilities of work in the medium.
