Cliffhangers - the electrifying end of a special episode leaving the listeners desperate to tune in again

A moment of prolonged suspense when the HEROES are placed in life-threatening danger "To be continued . . ."

You have to earn that suspense and thrill from your listeners. That is why I prefer adventures and adventure genres.

This is how to make a short-form soap - entertaining (above all) and you can include issues (issues that could influence the listeners' behaviour).
