Radio Drama Takeover 2: Claybourne

McMurtry, Leslie

Abstract

By building a sense of community and creating a unique storyworld through imagination, Claybourne (1998) was also a harbinger of things to come. The “proudly New Zealand” serialized radio drama, broadcast on commercial radio, was designed as stealth drama for its radio station’s demographic. Reborn as an audio drama in the digital age, Claybourne anticipated many of the qualities that have characterized some of the most popular podcast dramas of recent years.
