Abstract This article establishes a methodology with which radio drama pieces can be analysed. It thereby integrates all features the art form has to offer: voices, music, noises, but also technical features like cutting and mixing contribute to the narrative that is being told. This approach emphasizes the importance of seeing radio drama as an art form in its own right, and not as a literary genre. An analysis of radio drama adapted from literary pieces shows how varied the features with which the same story can be told in the two art forms can be.
