Sigmund Freud, by Max Halberstadt, 1921
ArtiFacts Eastside.
Join me, Jane Raffan, for a show previewing Seeking Mr Freud, another of Eastside’s fabulous own radio plays, the Sonic Tales.
Everybody’s heard about Sigmund Freud, of course, and most people would associate the psychoanalyst with dreams. Eastside’s black comedy Seeking Mr Freud is about a disturbed psychology Ph.D., Sigrid, who dreams of marrying a Mr Freud …
Joining me in the studio for chat about the history of radio plays and the upcoming new season of Eastside’s Sonic Tales is their producer, Gill Falson, and we’ll also be chatting with the writer of Seeking Mr Freud, Noelle Janaczewska.

And the music? Jazz and blues playlists abound with songs about dreams and secrets, so I’ll be taking you on a musical journey sampling some oldies and goodies from the songbooks, as well as some more recent avant-garde jazz tracks and a couple of contemporary takes on our mad world.
So, if you like Vince Jones, Lizz Wright, Bill Evans, Julie London, Bill Frisell, Joe Lovano, Paul Motian, Billy Bang, Johnny Lee Hooker, Louis Sclavis, Herbie Hancock or Gary Jules, then be sure to tune in.
As always, I look forward to your company, 10:30 to noon.
Jane
