First-class postage stamp, 1955
A nice audio collage by
Virtual Renderings (a.k.a. Chazk). Explores the
wild promises made by proponents of civilian
nuclear power projects--and the very
scary reality behind the propaganda--from 1950 through the meltdown at Three Mile Island in 1979. Sound sources include old propaganda films, news reports, interviews from documentary films, and some music--all very nicely woven together.
Previously broadcast, as NWN # 181, in August 2011.
An
archive of Virtual Rendering's collages is available on Radio4All.net.
