A transatlantic quest across a divided political landscape.

This autumn we’re travelling around the UK and along the US Presidential Election Campaign Trail listening to voters, journalists and politicians. Inspired by Hunter S Thompson’s 1972 campaign diaries, we are confronting the West’s burgeoning nationalism, examining what has brought us here and where we are heading.

Throughout the journey we’re producing episodes that combine verbatim recordings, original writing and rich sound design, taking you inside today’s America during the final weeks of this extraordinary election.

Our research will be used to create Squint’s 2017 production, Fear & Loathing.
