Story Notes
A young man is trapped in a dead end job, in a meat factory and the monotony of process line slaughter is unbearable.
Music keeps him going. Specifically the songs that get stuck in his head - 'ear worms'.
This is a story of endurance - and of how to make it through the day, despite all the challenges - wonderful listening.
March 2011
"The Curious Ear" is produced by Ronan Kelly curiousear@rte.ie
