FAQ

Questions

What is micro audio drama?
Micro audio drama is a full audio drama told in short episodes, a few minutes each: a cast of voices, sound design and a cliffhanger, sized to fit a coffee break. DialTale puts each series on its own phone number, so a story is one call away.
Do I need an app or an account?
No. Call the series’ number from any phone. The line remembers your place by your caller ID.
Does it cost anything?
Every series starts with free episodes. To keep going after those, each later episode will take one episode credit, which you buy at dialtale.fm/credits. Jumping back during a call to an episode you’ve heard to the end uses one credit, even to a free one. The call itself costs the same as any other domestic call, and most US plans include it.
How long is an episode?
A few minutes. Hang up whenever you like, and call back to pick up where you left off.
What stories can I hear?
Misfortune, a horror audio drama, and Dispersed, a science fiction audio drama. Both are for teens and up.
