THE PODCAST
Conceived and directed by Josh Johnston and produced by Staci Levine/ Groundswell Theatricals, RADIO PLAY REVIVAL celebrates the golden age of radio plays in the now-second golden age of audio. RADIO PLAY REVIVAL features great American actors performing great American works of literature - from the universally known like Mark Twain, to those who never got recognition in their time like Alice Moore Dunbar-Nelson, to modern talent like Joyce Carol Oates and John Patrick Shanley - RADIO PLAY REVIVAL is available anywhere you listen to podcasts.

FROM JOSH JOHNSTON... This project began as a way to stay artistically creative in 2020, and since then has gotten me to read with regularity again- and so much more. Through reading her stories over the last 200 years, I've begun to understand how America has become the country we know today. We were once a leader in culture, the arts, and worldwide innovation, and I want to celebrate that again. We don’t listen anymore; it’s all about explosions, superheroes, and medical dramas. I believe American literature is at the heart of this country’s greatness, and through this project, I hope we can all listen again. |
