Liberty: How to Make an Audio Drama Podcast

Posted by Archon Reeve on January 10, 2017

Normally we’d be inviting you to embark on a dangerous expedition into the unknown in Liberty – a serialized sci-fi audio drama – but in this very special episode, we’re keeping things on Earth and going behind the scenes!

Have you ever wondered what goes into creating your favorite audio drama series like Liberty: Critical Research, Night Vale, Tanis, or even our RPG series over at Nerdy Show Theatre? Maybe you’ve even wondered what it would take to make your own? Join the creators of Liberty as we take you through the creative process!

In this special episode we cover everything from idea to upload including: recording, acting, creating sound effects and promoting your creation.
