Jay O'Callahan's "Politics" (Back Roads Radio)

World reknown storyteller Jay O'Callahan's relevant and comical story of his teenage thirst for connection and expression during the political campaign between Adlai Stevenson and Dwight Eisenhower. Written and performed by master storyteller Jay O'Callahan, "Politics" takes us on a reminiscent ride where innocence, determination and political fervor serve as the engine to adventure and friendship. Jay takes us to the 1950's when our country was filled with possibility and impending doom. Sound familiar? He assumes the voice of his younger self and weaves in characters and events from his own childhood on Pill Hill, located just outside of Boston, Massachusetts. This show is particularly pertinent during the campaign season, when high hopes for reawakening participatory democracy and a more humane world run deep. This show is part of the Back Roads Radio series hosted by Judy Goldberg.
