Do you remember the long-running Jacques Cousteau nature documentary series on television? In "The River of Angels" you'll meet his radio cousin, Claude Jateau. With a delightful French accent and a tireless thirst for scientific knowledge Jateau and a group of scientists and friends, explore the freeways of Los Angeles and examine the nomads who travel them with the same enthusiasm that Cousteau brought to his explorations of the Amazon and the Nile. He even goes in search of such endangered native wildlife as The Fading Film Star, and manages to capture and tag one with a radio collar. Skillful writing, acting, and a wonderful sense of humor combine in a guaranteed half hour of pure fun.
In its ten years as a weekly national series, 1987-1998, New American Radio (NAR) commissioned and distributed over 300 original works: conceptual new drama, associational documentary, language explorations, sonic meditations, environmental compositions, musical explorations and works that pioneer new dimensions in acoustic space. Wave Farm is thrilled to be partnering with New American Radio to ensure these works remain available to listeners today and into the future.
