Hi all.
I am looking for stations or websites that host radio dramas for us to listen.
So far i know www.bbc.co.uk with radio4 and bbc7 having radio dramas and also www.acbradio.org and its treasure trove channel. Appart from that i don't know any others so if you could share some here it would be nice. I would prefeer recent radio dramas though because old radio dramas are not very good sound quality and i am having difficulty to understand the language they use sometimes.
Thanks

A good start is Dramapod. Most of the audio dramas I listen to can be found there. there's a couple of other sites but I think this should be enough for now. This site doesn't get updated as frequently as I like, but it's a good start, hope you find something you like.

Thanks for that. I will check it out.
I think the most popular radio drama genres seam to be thriler, or detective etc. I am looking more to find dramas about relationships, family situations or maybe health issues in other words more like everyday stories things that could happen to anyone. I don't like mistery murders etc lol. Does anyone has any suggestions for such dramas?

No, but fear you can hear is primarily old time radio; though it's a great site for that.

You might check out live365.com for spoken word and see if they have anything like you want.
