Audio dramas != audiobooks.

An audiobook starts as a written work of prose and is read by, traditionally, one person. An audio drama is more like an old-school radio show: multiple voice actors, sound effects, and they're performing from a script instead of reading a novel. Or, in short, an audiobook will contain "he said" and other such directions that an audio drama does not.
