"The Graduate" is a romantic-comedy audio drama written by Polly Thomas [adapting "The Graduate" (1963) by Charles Webb] that released July 15th, 2012. So when is "The Graduate" set?
It takes place in the year:
We know this because the very first lines of the first episode of the audio drama are: "I graduated from college back east, at the end of June 1963. I flew back the same day. The next evening, my parents threw a welcome home party." and this is exactly when the narrative starts. So it is late June or early July of 1963 AD at the beginning of the story.

About three-quarters through the second and final episode, Benjamin Braddock says, "It started last summer. It started the night of the graduation party." so the narrative crosses at some point into the next calendar year.
