Hmm. In a knock to my long-held prejudices, I have been very much enjoying another audio drama series. Along with documentaries “hosted” by shipped-in celebrities and anything involving Chris Evans, listening to audio drama was, for a long time, the price I paid for the many other delights of my job. But over the past 10 years, the twin forces of expensive, slickly produced mysteries and imaginative, spooky outsider stories have swept aside my prejudices. Excellent shows such as Lime Town and Alice Isn’t Dead from the US, and Wooden Overcoats and The Lovecraft Investigations from the UK, kicked to the kerb all memories of limp Radio 4 plays and paved the way for better audio fiction. (Yes, I know The Archers is still going. Not much we can do about that.)
