Welcome to the world of audio fiction, where sound alone crafts immersive stories that ignite your imagination. Whether you call it radio drama, audio theater, or audio fiction, the power of storytelling through sound is undeniable. Skip the screen and dive into “movies for your mind,” a medium that bypasses the visual cortex and prints vibrant images directly onto the canvas of your imagination.
Inspired by pioneers like Orson Welles, Norman Corwin, and Arch Oboler from radio’s Golden Age, Fred Greenhalgh is a modern innovator in audio fiction. His work honors the rich tradition of 1940s and 50s radio drama while pushing the art form into the digital age. Drawing inspiration from the American audio dramas of the 1970s and 80s (think Tom Lopez and Yuri Rasovsky), as well as contemporary masters such as Roger Gregg, John Dryden, William Dufris, and Dirk Maggs, Fred’s passion for audio storytelling is deeply rooted and forward-thinking.
