Frank Ortega for the recording of the radio show, “Toward Akaba.” This audio journal will track a personal journey through the Middle East during the “Gulf Crisis,” starting in Istanbul on the back of a Bedford truck and ending in Cairo on a “flying coffin.” “The soldier watches the border, that absurd cyclone fence representing a new line on the map, a change of stationary.” The show will be offered to Pacifica Program Service, NPR, and American Public Radio as well as individual radio stations.
