Sinclair Lewis's prescient 1936 satirical novel It Can't Happen Here, adapted for radio by Mike Walker.
Following her recent discovery of a series of interviews recorded in 1939 with Doremus Jessup, the exiled editor of The New England Informer, Jane Fernandez takes us on a very personal journey into history in this one-off documentary charting the rise and fall of America's most unlikely president - Berzelius 'Buzz' Windrip.
