Arts Monday 9 April 2012
Join me, Jane Raffan, on Easter Monday for a twisted gospel show and a preview of Pulpit Rock – one of the new season’s fabulous Sonic Tales, Eastside’s own radio plays.
You might know about America’s most famous radio drama broadcast – Orson Welles’ 1938 version of The War of the Worlds. It caused panic, convincing many that an actual invasion from Mars was taking place.
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 the gospel part? I’ll be cruising through Easter Monday entertaining you with a gospel playlist with a few twists. Let’s face it, there’s always more than one side to any story (the idea of god wouldn’t have had nearly the same impact without the idea of the devil…).
So, if you like Tom Waits, Etta James, Al Green, The Staple Singers, Lanie Lane, Lyle Lovett, Sonny terry & Brownie McGee, or The Staple Singers, The Doobie Brothers, Nirvana and Mojo Nixon, then you are in for a treat.
As always, I look forward to your company, 10:30 to noon.
Jane
