Welcome to Mars

In 2006 we produced a 12 part radio series for Resonance FM and podcast called ‘Welcome to Mars’ . Fast forward to 2008 and the ‘Welcome to Mars’ book written by Ken Hollings, is ready for publication. There will also be a limited edition run of CD’s with original music and sound design composed by simonsound for the 2006 radio series. Stay tuned for more info.

1947-1959

Ken Hollings presents a live twelve-part series of unscripted reflections on the fantasy of science in the early years of the American Century

With electronic sound production by Simon James

Between 1947 and 1959, the future was written about, discussed and analysed with such confidence that it became a tangible presence. This is a story of weird science, strange events and even stranger beliefs, set in an age when the possibilities for human development seemed almost limitless.
