041- H.G. Wellsathon 1- A Dream of Armageddon (Escape)

Matt and David kick off our October series on the radio adaptations of H.G. Wells with a deep dive on Wells, late 19th century socialism, history, and utopian fiction. Our first episode is Escape's rendition of "A Dream of Armageddon" from September 5th, 1948, which features the world collapsing under the weight of its contradictions in the year 2021--er I mean 2200.

Before the program, we are briefly joined by IATSE member Will Martin to discuss the potential strike and labor conditions in the film, television, and streaming industry (PLEASE NOTE: Will is joining us purely of his own accord and is not speaking on behalf of IATSE).
