A totally new interview with audio drama expert Aaron J Reardon, recorded in time for Halloween - on video. And if that's not weird enough..

In this show, we discuss the massive growth of the audio drama genre. How creative effort beats budgets every time. Aaron's two biggest hits Plant Murder and Selene have already won awards for innovation and production and he continues to develop each one. Along the way, he's become hot property in Hollywood, recently writing a murder mystery for one of the film industry's most talented multi-talented artists.

In this special Halloween edition of The Fuel podcast, Aaron and I discuss the roots of audio drama and its future. We discuss War of the Worlds, Dr Who and Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, as well as contemporary audio drama hits such as Midnight Burger, Wooden Overcoats and The Magnus Archives - and how they have become hot property for marketers keen to exploit this incredibly powerful new medium.
