W. Keith Tims
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's a great conversation for anyone interested in storytelling and creativity, and with so much talent and variety out there, you're sure to find your next favorite audio drama by listening.
Sister Indica discusses her over-the-top soap opera Blazed All Our Lives, her work with the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence, the ridiculous fun of melodrama, drag performance as a political target, and how a one-off episode turned into a series.
