PODCAST: JON SPELMAN / OUT OF THE ICE

Listen as one man tries to follow his mind for 200 years.
Join storyteller Jon Spelman on a narrative journey in six episodes; a tale that is part science fiction and part historical journal.
In the year 2030, William Whyte was revived after being frozen for centuries in glacial ice. He is now physically removed from the natural world of his past and often dislocated in his current world of machines and computers. What can he remember about his past life? Whose memory should he believe? Who revived him, and why? And what happened to his dog? And who’s doing all that talking?
