An audio drama by M.R. Harris
The Free State of Dade.
Season One · The Making
A multi-generational prestige drama set on a plateau seventy miles long.
The mountain stays funny because the mountain doesn't know the difference between comedy and Tuesday.
Sand Mountain, Alabama. Dade County, Georgia. Justified meets Letterkenny meets the Coen Brothers.
A plateau ruled by an inherited Scots-Irish code that predates every American institution — and what happens
when the Tennessee Valley Authority decides the community's creek should become a reservoir. Three eras braided
through every episode: 1934 (the feud, the code, the TVA), 1921-1934 (Young Adams, the entrepreneur whose
brick will help build the dam that floods his own people's cemetery), and 2007 (Ezra, the fighter, who came
home from Japan to hang bags in his grandfather's empty dairy barn). 13 episodes. Multi-voice cast.
