Talk Radio at Olathe East High School

Dallas radio personality Barry Champlain is on air doing what he does best: insulting the pathetic souls who call his show in the middle of the night. However, on this particular night, Barry discovers that his skills in pushing peoples buttons have won him a chance for a nationally syndicated show. But instead of celebrating, Barry subjects his girlfriend, his producer, and his co-workers to a marathon of compulsive risk-taking with his unstable radio listeners. Barrys audience? - the lonely, the angry, and the dangerous. What follows is a whiplash of intensity throughout this entrancing show that ultimately serves as a metaphor for Americas lost souls. In the end, we learn that Talk is not cheap, and words can kill. On October 10th, 11th, & 12th, be sure to tune in to Talk Radio. The last neighborhood in America.
