Cross Talk: Season Five, Episode 17
On pandemic stories in audio fiction. From March 11, 2021. On the first "anniversary" of living in the pandemic, I'm listening for audio stories about living in a pandemic. Audio drama -- ensemble, assembly or solo fiction -- is giving us new ways of exploring life in times of a pandemic...as escape. For educational purposes. Makes fair dealing use of bits from 2084 by Rainer Pluckebaum; On a Dark, Cold Night by Kristen Zaza, and The Apocrypha Chronicles from Renaissance Opera. Three very different approaches from creators in Canada. (Image from the World Health Organization.)
