"There Was A Zeppelin" feature interview

By Mark Lavonier

Central New York – A Central New York playwright will have her radio play, "There Was A Zeppelin" broadcast Saturday, March 12 at eight pm on WRVO. The story is told through the experiences of Grace, new bride to Sinclair, a pilot in the Royal Air Force during the 1930's. At a time when the outbreak of war was a threat, the wives of the RAF pilots resorted to risky birth prevention methods for fear of their children being born into conflict. WRVO's Mark Lavonier speaks with the founder of the Jupiter Radio Theater Company and author of the play, Anna Jenner.
