    The Unuseful Hour - ZERO, the end of money - Episode 3

    Here we are, already at the end of the story. I have a number of these 3-4 hour novellas that are adapted from feature screenplays. I call these audio versions Spoken Screenplays and I hope that the three episodes of Zero feel like a cinematic experience. The seventh story to be featured on the podcast THE UNUSEFUL HOUR, Zero features the writing and acting of DW Draffin, who has been doing both for a very long time.

    The Unuseful Hour - ZERO, the end of money - Episode 2

    The 21st century isn't getting more stable. We are not going back to a nostalgic normal. Change is the new normal, whether it's in a way as dramatic as this or more of the slow boil variety. I guess I really have to re-classify this podcast out of comedic fiction for the time being. Apologies for those looking for lighter fare. The seventh story to be featured on the podcast THE UNUSEFUL HOUR, Zero features the writing and acting of DW Draffin, who has been doing both for a very long time.

    The Unuseful Hour - ZERO, the end of money - Episode 1

    This story has been many years in the making. I originally conceived it over 20 years ago and pitched it to an executive at Paramount as a feature film. He was so enraged by the concept of a world without money that he ended the meeting. My producer told me to never mention this idea ever again in Hollywood. They love money too much. But now, in this age of worker empowerment and great resignations, I believe ZERO finally has an audience. This story depicts a world in which certain people have decided on dramatic action. It is up to you whether you decide to stand with them or any of the others whose views are represented in this tale. This isn't a call for revolution at all costs. This is a depiction of the costs. The seventh story to be featured on the podcast THE UNUSEFUL HOUR, Zero features the writing and acting of DW Draffin, who has been doing both for a very long time.

    The Unuseful Hour - Woe Is Me, Episode 9

    We all like collapse stories right now. And perhaps we should. There's widespread anxiety about the future and all our institutions appear ready to crumble. But stories like these aren't predictive. They're cautionary tales that remind us how terrible things can be if we make bad decisions. In this case, don't be a mystery man and leave the witches in their own dimension. The fifth story to be featured on the podcast THE UNUSEFUL HOUR, Woe Is Me features the writing and acting of DW Draffin, who has been doing both for a very long time.
