Falling Uphill: A Podcast

It’s the mid-1960s and actor-director Jeff Bennett has realized he doesn’t have the stomach to pursue a career on Broadway. To make things worse, he’s just received a letter requesting his presence at an Army recruiting station to see if he’s physically fit enough to serve his country in Vietnam. Without enough teaching credits to spare him from what he sees as a pointless conflict and an all-around waste of his time, the only hope for Jeff is pneumothorax, a smoking-related lung condition. With papers documenting his ailment in hand, he reports to the center as instructed, but as he progresses naked through each exam station, no one in authority seems to want to hear about his extenuating circumstance.  Produced by Matt Elzweig Story told by Jeff Bennett Illustration by Richard Chance Music “Maccary Bay”  Kevin MacLeod “Spacial Harvest” Kevin MacLeod “StompDance” Kevin MacLeod  “Bronco Romp” Waylon Thornton “Adders Tongue” Waylon Thornton  “Goofer Dust” Waylon Thornton “Der Heyser Bulgar” Eastern Watershed K
