If you want an example of what a good audio-play should be like, try 'Song of the Northwoods'.

It's a thriller that actually fills, providing lots of moments of tension and threat pulled together by a clever plot with lots of credible and satisfying twists.

I listened to 'Song of the Northwoods' while wearing over-ear headphones. The sound quality was astonishing. It was a 3D listening experience that helped me lose myself in the play and which added texture to the performance.

'Song of the Northwoods' is a full-cast performance but with the story being told as a series of curated recordings, presented by the main character, Song Yuan, in the form of a radio show / podcast. This format worked well as a structure for revealing the central mystery and giving insight into the characters and was perfect for capturing all the action as an audio play.

The cast did a great job, especially Michele Selene Ang who played Song. ( )
