Mr. Buchman Goes To Washington
Based on a true story. Sidney Buchman was nominated for four Oscars, but his career came to a screeching halt when he was accused of communist ties. In a wild true story of art imitating life, Sidney, who wrote "Mr. Smith Goes To Washington", would have his own face-off with Washington, when he was pressured to "name names" of other suspected communists to get himself off the hook. Would Sidney choose his honor, or his career? Michael B. Silver, Sidney's real-life grandson (and an accomplished actor and writer himself), plays his grandfather in this scripted audio drama podcast reminiscent of TV and movies like "The West Wing", and "The Trial Of The Chicago 7".

Despite the fact that this story takes place 70 years ago, the themes couldn’t be more timely: What are you willing to sacrifice to keep our democracy? The story of Sidney Buchman could all-but happen today. The writing is smart and sharp, with top rate vocal performances, and a sound design that keeps the story moving at a brisk clip. This is a fast-paced drama, not a thriller. But well worth the listen!
Compelling and Thought Provoking

Really well-produced and sharply written, thoughtful and still relevant all these years later.
