Terminology

edit

Is this an audio drama podcast or audiobook? Audible seems to use the term audiobook, the show is listed on the NYT best seller list of audio fiction books, and Audiofile Magazine award is for best audiobook. However, audiobooks are normally recordings of a single person reading a book not a full cast audio drama, the show doesn't have an ISBN, and when an Audible Original like this is released on other platforms they are generally listed as podcasts (i.e. Heads Will Roll and Hot White Heist are listed as podcasts on Spotify).

Tricky. It's various things. It's an audiobook, specifically it's a full cast audiobook. It is an audio drama, but not an audio drama, which is a link to "radio drama". But really the article is about the series, not just the first volume any more, so it's an audiobook series or an audio drama series, or maybe just an audio series. The one thing I'm sure of is that it's not a podcast.
If I were going to pick one it would be "audiobook series". Is anyone up for renaming the article? Dan Bloch (talk) 21:48, 27 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
