Educational documentary arts organization CITIZENARTS has released MARCH, a two-part podcast in the style of a radio drama, which we had the pleasure of recording last year. The piece was tracked live in-studio, with CITIZENARTS producer Jeff Lewis in the control room and writer/director James Isaiah Gabbe directing the proceedings in the live room with the actors. Engineer Keenan DuBois tracked the recording with Dubway in NYC, keeping as much isolation between actors as possible while also making sure they had the space and flexibility to react off of one another in any given scene–especially necessary for dynamic material like March, which deals frankly with issues of nationalism and the history of Nazi Germany (and may not be suitable for small children). The piece follows a dramatized dinner party at a turning point in Germany’s 20th century history, in which an unexpected guest changes the trajectory for the evening and eventually the country.
The podcast is available on all major podcasting platforms (here’s a link to Apple’s version) and is out now!
