Project Audion Episode 47: Big Story

Project Audion returns with some holiday fun! Back when Newspapers were Important, newspaper reporters were heroic figures - exposing rackets and corruption, taking down the powerful and giving voice to the powerless. "The Big Story" series from audio drama's original classic era (the mid 20th century) celebrated the newspaper reporter - selecting true headlines and converting them into gripping dramas, much like Dragnet did with police.Audion's December offering is a story set during the Christmas holiday, and while there IS an appearance by Santa Claus and a happy ending - this is a drama, pure and simple - of murder, greed, and redemption. Hmmm...maybe a Christmas theme after all!Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
