In Breaking Walls Episode 68, we welcome November’s theme of “Gratitude” with an interactive look back at Norman Corwin’s radio plays, originally heard on U.S. radio around Thanksgiving of 1941. There are a lot of parallels that could be drawn from 1941 in 2017. That’s a scary thought! Perhaps the world isn’t in nearly as bad of a place today as we imagine? If we want to learn some lessons from the Americans that lived 76 years ago, radio—the main entertainment medium of the day—seems like a good place to start.

Featured on today’s episode will be:

The Columbia Workshop - Pslam for a Dark Year, originally broadcast on 11/9/1941

The Screen Guild Theater - Between Americans, originally broadcast on 12/7/1941

We Hold These Truths - originally broadcast on 12/15/1941

And interviews with Norman Corwin in 1976 and 2004.

Breaking Walls Episode 67, we’ve got a return guest in Staten Island based recording artist Brodie Jaymz. Brodie was a guest on Breaking Walls episode 26 in October of 2015, and Breaking Walls episode 42 in October of 2016.

The reason for the third October conversation in three years? Brodie has recently released a new LP, entitled Chasing Summer (available on all major music outlets).

Brodie and I get into his inspiration for, and execution of, the album, what’s been going on in his life, and what new growth has occurred since the last time Brodie and I sat down to talk.
