New American Radio was organized by Helen Thorington, Executive Producer and Regine Beyer, Associate Producer.

A story about Miss Miss who has preserved all her loved objects in jars. Bits of mother, tokens of a lover, all are preserved by pickling. Along with parts of an old refrigerator and other things, also kept in jars, they shape the content of Miss Miss's monologue, and her memory. Commissioned by New American Radio.

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.
