With roots in radio dramas, fiction podcasts have been around as long as podcasting itself. They make up a small but growing genre in the podcast space and are increasingly popular among audiences. Audio dramas offer varied possibilities for creators and provide a rich, immersive format for storytelling. During this session, Acast will be in conversation with fiction podcasters Rusty Quill — the minds behind the hugely popular Magnus Archives. They’ll be discussing what it takes to build immersive, lore-filled worlds, creating truly cinematic experiences for listeners just through the power of spoken word and clever sound design. It’ll also provide an array of tips and tricks for up-and-coming creators who are interested in creating audio fiction. Join us as we explore how podcasters can take listeners to a different world — all via our earbuds.
