radio adaptations
Audio drama conversions
Radio adaptations are works—typically novels, plays, or films—reworked for broadcast as audio drama.
The format strips away visual elements and relies on voice acting, sound effects, and music to convey story: The BBC's radio adaptation of *Lord of the Rings* ran for thirteen episodes.
The practice peaked during radio's golden age but continues today, particularly in the UK.
