Show Notes

We’re on the brink of our 300th episode and we’re marking the event with a special visit to the Listener Library! Our mysterious listener and Patreon supporter Trevor recommended we listen to “Donovan’s Brain,” the first two-part installment of Suspense. Thanks, Trevor! The story features Orson Welles as a scientist convinced he can keep a brain alive even after the body has perished. But the pursuit leads him into making some dangerous and dubious decisions. What sort of existence can a brain have outside of its body? What effect will this experiment have on the doctor? Is he just mad about saffron? Listen for yourself and find out!
