Budget/funding The budget for my new radio drama will be around 20,000 as this will be the cost of hiring the studio and cast actors and a crew. The budget will primarily be from license payers for the BBC and my radio show has a number of high profile actors which will increase costs. I have chosen this budget due to the complex sound effects that I will be creating in the radio show and this will require a lot of time to edit.
