The Sounds of Mrs. Orwell
About this episode
The episode features a playlist from the launch party of Mrs. Orwell, connecting historical wartime experiences to contemporary issues.
To those who could not join our launch party for Mrs. Orwell tonight, we've made you a play list from the event. It opens with a British Pathé newsreel of what to do in an air raid ; Edward R. Murrow reporting from London on the Blitz; a popular war-time show "Gert & Daisy"; Flanagan and Allen's "Run Rabbit Run," and "Ay Carmela!" one of the most popular songs of the Spanish Civil War, which Eileen and Eric Blair would have heard throughout their time in Spain. We're going to play this audio at the start of tonight's event, to connect the global war of fascism vs. democracy back then to today, as Ukraine faces the same daily bombardment as Europe did under Hitler.
