The Day Before the Day Before Tomorrow

Overview

Back in the days of dripping and blackout, when good times were rationed and families huddled together in the same bed, it was a very special treat to sit by the wireless and catch up on the latest soap-dramas and mystery thrillers. Sadly, when television reared its visible face, the masses flocked away from dear old Aunty and the radio drama became a cultural goody saved for the likes of Radio National.

Now the times, they are a changing, because suddenly everyone's plugging devices into their brain boxes so as to drown out the roar of the outside world and the radio drama has become a viable, massively consumable medium once again.

You're all invited to witness the birth of one such giant, edible piece of airwave: the comical tales of the town Pullamawang and its efforts to secede from Australia and become the mighty nation of Tripolis. Written and voiced by Gen Y members of the local comedy and performance scene, The Day Before the Day Before Tomorrow will launch by recording its virgin episode in front of a live audience at Fox Studios.

Yes, that's right, if not for anything else this event is a must for anyone who wants their obnoxious giggling recorded on a laugh track for the benefit of future generations.
