A radio drama (audio or radio play, dramatized audiobook) is a live or recorded performance of actors without visual elements. It is usually heard on radio or published as audiobook. Radio drama is often described as "cinema for the ears". It had its greatest popularity in the Golden Age of Radio, before television was introduced.
