Audible, the company known for its audiobooks, is going back in time and developing radio plays. That includes “Fade,” which follows a novelist from Chicago named Lucia. After moving to Hollywood to become a TV writer, she has a hard time adjusting because it’s her first writers’ room, and because she’s Latina. Lucia later finds out she’s a diversity hire.
