Show Notes

This episode features special guest David, a Patreon supporter at the highest level! David has chosen the CBS Radio Workshop adaptation of Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World, told in two parts. Thanks, David! Huxley himself narrated this version of his classic dystopic vision. In the future, industry has completely eclipsed morality, and hedonism has replaced emotional connections. But opportunity knocks when an outsider is introduced to this world. Do the horrors of this Brave New World actually hold some appeal? Which parts of the novel’s predictions have come to pass? Were there radio artists who specialized in butt foley? Listen for yourself and find out!
