A Note from the Producer
Dear Listeners,
Sounds work with our imagination to create believable worlds, and ways to
inhabit them.
Like many things, Re-Imagined Radio is changing in response to the coronavirus pandemic. We've pivoted away from live performances and embraced radio broadcasts.
We will return to live performances in the future. But, as we continue radio broadcasts we thought a program guide might be helpful, even interesting for our listeners.
This is our first program guide, designed to provide information we hope you will find useful while listening to Monday's episode of Re-Imagined Radio, "Exuberance Is Beauty."
Please find information below about our broadcast schedule, this upcoming episode, where to find further information about this and other episodes of Re-Imagined Radio, and how to listen to this and other episodes after their broadcast.
Thank you so much for listening, and for supporting Re-Imagined Radio's exploration of how radio combines sounds, music, and spoken word to create and sustain compelling storytelling.
Enjoy our upcoming episode, "Exuberance Is Beauty", which broadcasts Monday, May 17 at 12pm PT, KXRW.FM.
— John Barber, Re-Imagined Radio Producer and Host

This story is set in Portland, in the 1940s, following the end of World War II.
Eve Miller is a young war widow. She has not gotten over the loss of her husband, Nick. She rebels against the ordinariness of womanhood in the post-war era and succumbs to the sensual temptation of an adulterous affair with a dashing, married, artist, Jeff Lambert. In the aftermath of this affair, both Jeff and Eve have to face the consequences of their desires and actions. Despite being a strong female protagonist, Eve Miller's life unravels and leads to unexpected violence and moral isolation resulting from her estranged lover's obsessive control.
The tragic story unfolds through Eve's eyes, despite her will and resistance. Themes explored include gender norms, liberty, motherhood, obsessive love, mental illness, and justice.
