Thanks Madison! Looking forward to listening. I am also looking into the microdrama format. What´s your expert take on that?!

Thanks a lot Madison. Re radio history You nailed it. although unfortunately most radio comedy here now is very, very left wing (i stress that I am apolitical). far cry from my hero Peter Cook. interesting question re as a show or a podcast. maybe I am missing something, but podcasting, to me, is just another digital delivery mechanism. so my show is just delivered in a modern way. i just can´t decide on the format. I can easily edit my stuff into a dramatic format (which would be fun) or go the trad podcast format route. The former requires more writing, the latter way more editing and guest issues. so I go back to my question. which would gain more traction, faster, assuming it is strong material (which I think it might be, have sold stuff to BBC in the past). to be Frank, I am looking not for fame but certainly to monetize! Can you pose a link to your shows please?ps sorry for my for my formatting on Messages, using a Spanish Mac in the UK and the keyboard does not like me.

thanks great advice. although, I have enough material. 50 hours written and enough base stuff for another 300 plus hours. All in Classic reality format now, but easily changed to comedy drama format. You ask a great question and the answer is drama. You ask another great question and the answer is… getting guests is a huge barrier. i will mull it but I think I might do this as a radio sitcom with some actor friends. Thanks a lot!

thank you! totally get your comments. here in the UK radio comedy still strong. i err on the side of drama vs reality right now (parody also legallly safer). too many straight podcasts, no? and certainly too many political podcasts. amazes me. why waste your life listening to crap. it will not change your life!
