Podcast: Ask the Optimist by George Saunders
Our most ambitious production ever -- an adaptation of
George Saunders ' hilarious story "
Ask the Optimist ," from his most recent collection,
The Braindead Megaphone . Produced by me (Jesse Thorn), text edited for broadcast by Sean McDonald, with video & puppetry by Brian Hogg for
Hoggworks .
You can view piece in video form above, or in listen to the radio/podcast version below. We convinced George's publisher to let us run this piece by arguing that it might "go viral," so please share! And for some perspective on George's work, don't miss
this interview I conducted with George and ran a few days ago, or
this show , which features an older interview with George.
