So my ongoing search for additional sources of audio drama hasn't turned up much contemporary work outside of Big Finish. (I was really amazed to discover that although you can stream radio dramas from BBC radio web pages for 7 days after broadcast, there's no way to purchase CD's or downloads after that. Cue standard rant #423: Dear BBC, why don't you want to take my money?*)
I did discover Jim French Productions, who are making contemporary radio dramas. Mostly mysteries. I might give them a whirl.
However, if you want old-time American radio drama from back in the days before television killed it mostly dead, there's quite a lot out there, and much of it is free. In particular, some entity known as "Humphrey Camardella Productions" is podcasting loads of old time radio. You can find them on iTunes.

*I know that because I am an American citizen, and the BBC operates under a charter from the government of Great Britain, there are in fact strict legal limitations on the BBC's ability to give a damn about what I want. Still, I'd think they could sell me a CD of Robert Shearman's non-Doctor Who-related audio dramas without imperiling their charter.
