THE ORIGINAL PUBLIC RADIO BROADCASTS

A coal fire, weather advisories, flash flooding, and a family of motorboaters swept into the river are just a few of the dangers river pilot Jeb Hardy is challenged with as he guides 15 barges with 40 million pounds of coal up the Ohio River and through a treacherous stretch known as Seven Mile Bend.

Actor Richard Thomas, best known for his role as John Boy on the long-running TV series The Waltons, plays Jeb Hardy in this suspense-filled river thriller from the creator of Cape Cod Radio Mystery Theater , Steven Thomas Oney. This audio is the result of countless hours of field recording, including a seven-day ride on a coal tow, and midnight sessions on bridges over the Ohio River in Cincinnati to provide the most realistic sound effects possible. It required six solid months of work in the recording studio and features a complete orchestral score and a full cast.
