Re-Imagined Radio: D-Day Radio Stories
Re-Imagined Radio combines multiple "eye witness" radio news reports for this part documentary, part sound collage of stories about D-Day, the invasion of Europe by Allied military forces to repel German invaders and end World War II, June 6, 1944. "D-Day Radio Stories" provides a different storyline for this World War II turning point, and we hope, a worthy tribute to the Allied invading forces and those correspondents who went with them to tell the rest of us what they saw and heard.

Project Audion Episode 11: "Mercury Theatre on the Air: Around the World in 80 Days"
Project Audion's live-transcribed cross-continental Zoom-based production for October is an episode from Orson Welles' Mercury Theatre on the Air from 1938. No, not the "War of the Worlds" which everyone knows, but "Around the World in 80 Days" which aired the week before. Welles, John Houseman, and Howard Koch condensed Jules Verne's 1872 novel into a fast-paced 60 minutes, and fewer than 20 characters (which we handle by doubling each actor's part.) Phileas Fogg's journey started October 2, 1872 at about 9 PM: Project Audion's recreation premieres exactly 148 years later! In our sterling cast: Paul Arbisi / Illinois John Bell / Alabama Norman Cline / Kentucky Aileen Corpos / Texas Dana Gonsalves / Texas Larry Groebe / Texas Pete Lutz / Texas Les Marsden / California Pete Lutz directed, and Larry Groebe produced.
