The Voice of the Prairie

by John Olive

Directed by Michael Kirkland

When radio was a newfangled technology, what did it take to gain an audience? Leon is desperate to sell radios, but he must provide content. He discovers David in Nebraska, whose homespun tales of growing up as a hobo riding the rails take radio listeners by storm. As the industry grows, so does David’s fame, and the nation becomes obsessed with finding Frankie, the blind girl, his traveling companion. When they are reunited, the sparks reignite, and who knows what new adventures await?
