Union Signal is Jeff Ward and Doug Bost. From their ruined garage, they’ve been producing radio plays that have been broadcast on National Public Radio, Pacifica Radio, and Bavarian State Radio, as well as on local public radio stations across the country and on Joe Bevilacqua’s The Comedy-O-Rama Hour in its first XM Radio incarnation. Their plays have won awards with the BBC and the Midwest Radio Theater Workshop, as well as the Mark Time Award and the Charles Ogle Award. As members of the comedy group Euphobia, Jeff and Doug also write and produce audio sketches that are hilariously short. Performed by a Full Cast.
Doug Bost is a writer living in Brooklyn. His screenplays include Diminished Capacity, Kubuku Rides (This Is It), Focus Group, and Policy of Truth. His radio plays include Dead Man’s Hole, Roadkil, The Dan, and The Bride in the Box. His short stories have been heard on station KCRW’s Unfictional.
Jeff Ward writes radio plays and musicals. He is the author of December 17, The Toad, Georgia, and the hard-hitting, impeccably researched documentaries Dorcus and October Surprise. He wrote the musical Take One and has written jokes for SNL’s Weekend Update.

Dylan Thomas was born in Swansea, Wales on 27 October 1914. In 1934 his first book of poetry, Eighteen Poems appeared, followed by Twenty-five Poems in 1936, Deaths and Entrances in 1946 and in 1952 his final volume, Collected Poems. He also published many short stories, wrote filmscripts, broadcast stories and talks, did a series of lecture tours in the United States and wrote Under Milkwood, the radio play.
During his fourth lecture tour of the United States in 1953, a few days after his 39th birthday, he collapsed in his New York hotel and died on November 9th at St. Vincent's Hospital. His body was sent back to Laugharne, Wales, where his grave is marked by a simple wooden cross.
In June 1994, his wife, Caitlin Thomas, died in Italy, where she had spent most of the years of her life after the death of Dylan Thomas. Her body is buried next to his.
