This month's episode we explore family dynamics in a harrowing black comedy set during the Cold War, which brings satire a little too close to reality... listener distention advised for today's episode.

We're so excited to share some amazing new radio play stories from local creatives in Naarm (Melbourne).

Tensions rise as innocent curiosity questions blind loyalty. Take a seat and take part in the cold war of the dinner table. We must behave, for the fear of our fathers is not unfounded. We must trust and have faith, for it will all work out in the end. That's what the man in the television says... Nothing to worry about. Nothing at all.
