KOLD

KOLD

An original comedy podcast with songs. A co-production of the Very Little Theatre in Eugene, Oregon. Intended for those who are nostalgic, young at heart, and/or big fans of radio dramas, Celtic music, ad jingles, and Mechagodzilla. Certified to entertain and to lack any references of COVID and depressing current events. Eleanor dreams of finding millions of listeners for her station, KOLD Radio, and bringing 1940s-style radio dramas back to the mainstream. But right now, she's only losing money, listeners, and broadcasters. It's her last chance to save the station - so she's bringing in Celtic music diva Mary and her husband/manager Joe as potential investors, and asking them to listen to an epic radio drama about Brock and Sonya's dystopian romance, complete with advertising jingles. What could possibly go wrong - besides biologist Poppy's first time acting as "Sonya", plucky Walt's strong opinions, and Mary's hot temper?

Eleanor controls her controlling behavior.  The surprising conclusion to The Amazing Adventures of Brock and Sonya involves a lot of Segways, Ultraball, and a little emotional wreckage. Brock and Sonya's romance leaps off the page. Somehow, James Taylor involves himself in the workings of the station. But will all this be in sync with the beat of Mary's heart?...
