Political sci-fi by the great Robert Silverberg, as relevant and apt today as when it was published in 1956, produced here as audio theater with sfx and music. Then, Wonkette.com provides commentary on the theoretical internal bleeding of ICE agent who murdered a Minnesota woman; and the tale of brainwashed Americans who impulsively join the Russian army with the best of intentions and worst of outcomes.

Performed by Louisa Gummer, an recognized veteran British voice actor and narrator. "The King of Michigan" follows--a bit of Mormon-tinged political history. Both directed by Dan Bernard and produced by Michael Townsend.
