In this cross between THE WIZARD OF OZ and HITCHHIKER’S GUIDE, 16-year-old Truckee Wallace, our unlikely, unwilling hero, finds himself in the middle of an international incident. The year is 2085. Two narrators make the humor and satire memorable.

Show Notes
Dan Bittner and Peter Ganim shepherd listeners through the apocalyptic world Formerly Known As the USA. Bittner narrates as Truckee Wallace, a 16-year-old orphan who finds himself in the middle of an international incident. Ganim chimes in as the future editor of Trukee's memoir. Bittner gets to shout and go wild as Truckee, in addition to voicing a talking goat, an android, and multiple characters from all walks of life. As the voice of reason, Ganim reads footnotes and makes corrections to Truckee's story. While Bittner clearly gets to do the heavy lifting, it is Ganim's deadpan delivery that brings the most laughs to this inventive retelling of THE WIZARD OF OZ. Published by Macmillan Audio.
