Synopsis

Barry Champlain, Cleveland’s controversial radio host, is on the air doing what he does best: insulting the pathetic souls who call in the middle of the night to sound off. Tomorrow, Barry’s show is going into national syndication and his producer is afraid that Barry will say something that will offend the sponsors. This, of course, makes Barry even more outrageous.

“A compelling work that draws you straight into the heart of its fringe world. It makes the call in show a metaphor for America’s lost souls.” –New York Newsday
