When people ask "What do you do?" in the ephemeral medium of radio I can point into the sky and say "It's out there somewhere in the ether, along with all the episodes of 'I Love Lucy' that non-terrestrial beings have been monitoring all these years, and consequently--wisely steering clear of this corner of the universe." Nevertheless, in the spirit of recycling, it's great to be given the chance to hear some of this work again in the durable, repeatable format of CD ROM. I'm grateful to NautilusCD for allowing independent producers--the feisty iconoclasts of public radio--the opportunity to showcase our little audio gems.
In the coming months you'll be listening to work from some of the best producers and commentators in public radio. For those of you familiar with public radio and its magazine-format programs like "All Things Considered," "Morning Edition," "Weekend Edition" and "Marketplace," you might recall some of the programs you'll be hearing in this Theater of the Mind. Our hope is that you'll want to listen to them again and again.
This month's story, "Poppa," won a gold medal at the International Radio Festival of New York in 1989.
