The First Episode Of... is an occasional podcast about audio drama and the creative process hosted by W. Keith Tims. In each show, I listen to the first episode of an indie audio drama, then have a discussion with the creators about the show, their methods, their struggles, and successes. It&#39;s a great conversation for anyone interested in storytelling and creativity, and with so much talent and variety out there, you&#39;re sure to find your next favorite audio drama by listening. You can find it at thefirstepisodeof.com or wherever you find podcasts.
