There are a number of possible media institutions that would be suited for my radio drama. The first one that springs to mind is BBC Radio 4. Like the other radio stations owned by the BBC, Radio 4 is a public service broadcasting (PSB) company, and specialises in the spoken word. They cover a wide variety of different genres, ranging from radio drama and comedy to sport and religion. Due to a combination of both their range of programmes across so many genres and the sheer popularity of the radio station, I feel that working with BBC Radio 4 would be a great opportunity to gain a large, regular audience for my radio drama.
However, I also feel that perhaps broadcasting my radio drama on online radio stations would be another good idea. If it was broadcast on a weekly online stream it would not only be able to allow listeners more access to it, but it could also allow for easier and more methods of feedback. On the website, there could be a comment box where the audience could post any comments they have about the radio drama. Such online radio stations could include www.nonstopplay.com and Capital Radio.
Another way in which to distribute my radio drama is to make it available through pod casts. This has the added advantage of being downloadable, which means that there is no set time that the drama is on, allowing the audience to listen to it at a time that suits them.
