  • Hey, there, it's Nick.

  • While we're in our off season, we're bringing you some of our favorite episodes from our archives and presenting work from people we love and are inspired by.

  • This month, we're proud to present the work of Gregory Whitehead, a radio playwright and audio artist whose work can sometimes be difficult to come across in the digital world.

  • This is on the shore, dimly seen, based on true documentary materials, and originally produced for the creative audio unit at the Australian Broadcasting Corporation.

  • Be back at you with new episodes September 26, so set your calendars.

  • Who is there?

  • A detainee with a number.

  • The number zero six, three.

  • And a team.

  • An interrogation team.

  • What could be more american, more all american than an interrogation team?

  • Where are we?

  • In a booth on an island far away from here?

  • Or is it maybe closer than we think?

  • The booth tells me everything about nothing, and nothing matters more than that.

  • During this time, when nothing matters more than anything, the booth smells like a tropical swamp.

  • The booth feels empty and ominous.

  • The booth smells like fear, like a theater of fear.

  • On the shore.

  • Seen.
