I Read Stories, Also Listen To Them: Kulturkampf by Anatoly Belilovsky

KulturKampf by Anatoly Belilovsky in Cast Of Wonders

It’s the 1870s and Richard Wagner has a rail-borne steampunk orchestra and it’s driving around Europe demonstrating the superiority of German music and culture, trying to defeat other nations. This is not a metaphor, or if it is, it’s paper thin.

It’s very funny even if you’re not big on 19^th century European politics or music. And it’s narrated as a podcast with music!

Read and/or Listen To This: It’s great fun, recasting the music
Don’t Read or Listen To This: Making fun of war and politics is one thing, but music is serious business
