Behind the Mic on “Killer’s of the Flower Moon”

Prof. Neil Verma (Northwestern University) explores sound design in the radio show coda to Martin Scorsese’s 2023 film, Killers of the Flower Moon. A historian of radio fiction, Verma was a consultant on the production, and takes us inside some of the source material and references in the film, contextualizing them in the world of classical sound aesthetics and 1930’s radio technique.
