A '''radio documentary''' is a spoken word [[radio format]] devoted to non-fiction narrative. It is broadcast on [[radio]] as well as distributed through media such as tape, CD, and [[podcast]]. A radio documentary, or '''feature''', covers a topic in depth from one or more perspectives, often featuring interviews, commentary, and sound pictures. A radio feature may include original music compositions and creative sound design or can resemble traditional journalistic radio reporting, but cover an issue in greater depth.
