Dreams Of Rio: Parts One & Two Back-To-Back

June 17, 2022   Programming

We had some tech­ni­cal issues with time­zones last Fri­day and as a result the first episode of this ser­i­al went out at two very odd times and you may well have missed it!

So on 17th June, we’re broad­cast­ing episodes 1 & 2 back to back! Tune in on Fri­day for the first two episodes of this new Jack Flan­ders radio ser­i­al from our friends at ZBS Foun­da­tion: Dreams Of Rio!

DREAMS OF RIO — A JACK FLANDERS ADVENTURE

Hyp­not­ic voodoo beats, lush jun­gle nois­es, trop­i­cal rains, an enig­mat­ic Euro­pean Pro­fes­sor, an allur­ing female anthro­pol­o­gist… a few of the ingre­di­ents which M. Ful­ton has fash­ioned into his audio fan­ta­sy, Dreams of Rio, an engag­ing romp through the forests and sam­ba clubs of Brazil. Dreams of Rio chron­i­cles the trop­i­cal adven­tures of hero Jack Flan­ders as he treks through the mys­te­ri­ous wilds of Brazil­ian rain­forests and impos­si­ble sit­u­a­tions in his search for the Lost City. The crisp, stereo record­ings come vibrant­ly alive with lus­cious ambi­ent sound record­ed by Ful­ton and Clark on loca­tion in Brazil. Here’s a lit­tle taster…
