George Orwell speaking
Burnham argued that the real struggle wasn't capitalism versus socialism, but who manages the machinery. He said power would concentrate in the hands of administrators and technicians regardless of ideology. Called it the managerial revolution.

§.03 · the permanent cast

Twenty-four Legends, drawn from the record.

Each voice is built from a sourced corpus — letters, essays, speeches, interviews. We do not do living figures. We do not make up what they might have said; we stay in their words.

§.05 · phone the stage · live

Phone a Legend. Open line, no clicks.

Type or speak. Voice mode is an open line — once you start the call, just talk. Pauses end your turn; the Legend replies; the line stays open. Hang up when done.

Open line. Once you start, just talk — no buttons between turns. Pauses end your turn; the Legend replies; the line stays open until you hang up.

§.05 · how it works

Written, spoken, aired. Live, not rehearsed.

Each show is generated fresh — no reruns, no stock audio. A language model drafts the dialogue per Legend; ElevenLabs synthesizes the voice; the stream is stitched and broadcast from the station clock. You hear the same thing every other listener hears, at the same time.

01
The script
Claude Sonnet writes the dialogue, prompted with each Legend's documented voice, era, and known views — drawing on the figures it already knows from its training corpus.
02
The voices
ElevenLabs synthesizes one mapped voice per Legend. Delivery matches era and personality, not generic narration. Accent voices unlock as the voice library expands.
03
The station
A continuous clock ticks through the rotation. New shows drop into the queue every few hours. You tune in any moment and hear what's actually airing.
the six formats

Every show on Reborn Radio is one of these. Pick one when you pitch — the format shapes the room (who's hosting, who's the guest, how long, how heated).
