This leads to framing errors, by which I mean an extension of blurring of reality. This paper looks at several examples from world radio soaps, including those from the US, Britain, Turkey, France, and Poland, before assessing other examples in audio drama outside the realm of the soap opera serialKeywords : Radio, drama, literature, audience, culture, serial, hoax
