Environmental SF thriller Forest 404 is getting an upgrade and new material for its BBC Audio release later this week, and we chatted with its director/producer, Becky Ripley.

The idea was that listeners can choose their own path: people who are more interested in just sitting back and absorbing these  experiential sounds can just tune into the soundscapes, people who want more of the fact behind the fiction can tune into the talks, and some people just binge the drama. In this way, it plays to a podcast medium because you can’t do that in linear radio.
