I’ve just read possibly the worst news ever about a CBC Radio program. CBC producer Joe Mahoney writes:
“Somewhat to my astonishment I’ve learned that The Adventures of Apocalypse Al, the twenty part series of five minute radio plays we produced last year (written by none other than J. Michael Straczynski of Babylon 5 fame), will NOT be aired nationally anywhere on CBC Radio. It is possible that it will be picked up regionally here and there, but I will have no way of knowing when and where.”
Now I am not saying it’s time to break out the pitchforks and torches yet, but I’m about half a micron from a total meltdown here. We’ve been waiting for this show for more than a yahren now! The show’s finished. By all the internal reports that I’ve read its a solid show. It was written by J. Michael Straczynski! Can’t find room in the schedule? What the fuck CBC? Come on.
