What are specific requirements, a writer should follow, when writing something that is going to be (or just can possibly be) not only read but listened as well?

Straightforward sentence structure will help. Try listening to some radio drama or the BBC Radio 4 "Book at Bedtime" (a slightly abridged version of a existing novel).

An interesting story.

I've heard both fiction and non-fiction audiobooks. The only thing that's really required is interest. The reader can add a lot, but if there's nothing worth knowing or experiencing then people aren't going to want to listen.
