Project Audion Episode 29: 1984

Project Audion Episode 29: 1984

Larry Groebe and Project Audion return with an hour-long dramatization of George Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four...which was originally produced in August 1949, just a few months after the book was released to great acclaim. NBC University Theater adapted this scathing vision of our possible future world, one where "Freedom is Slavery" and "Big Brother is watching you." Big Brother is a part of our cultural currency now, but in 1949 this was a new and daring novel, and this early audio adaptation feels fresh - and still terrifying. (And still more than a bit relevant.)  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

It's episode two of ADVENTURE TRAIL: "Demon an' Pithypuss" -- and this time our host, The Old-Timer, brings us another "all-true" cowboy story involving two ranch-hands, long-time friends, who have a falling out over the words to a song.

It's more audio fun from producer Pete Lutz and the Narada Radio Company. [NOTE FOR DAVID: "Pithypuss" is pronounced PITH-ee-puss (as in "Puss in Boots").] Learn more about your ad choices.
