The War With The Newts

On the anniversary of Karel Čapek’s birthday, we listen to this 2005 presentation from the BBC, where they dramatize a 90 version of, “The War With The Newts.” This story is fantastic, breaks the fourth wall, has Karel and Olga – real life people – narrate the story from WWII Prague – as they worry about Hitler’s impending invasion, and instead, discuss a different world wide calamity that we all brought upon ourselves.
