Project Audion is back with another powerful show! Arch Oboler was one of radio's most accomplished writer/producers. Although he may be best known for his creepy horror scripts, he cared deeply about the human condition and regularly tackled weighty topics. "Special To Hollywood" was an indictment of the vacuousness of Hollywood celebrity, told in a sort of proto-"Twilight Zone" form. The story was performed on three occasions, and the 1945 script (from the series "Arch Oboler's Plays") became the core of Project Audion's second-ever show back in 2020. Six years later, we've gone back to our old Zoom files, remixed them and added fresh visuals, because - well, just because it's a yarn that's worth re-hearing with a message that is still relevant today.
