Emanating from a fictional 1962 where the Axis powers now control America, Resistance Radio is a looping radio drama, broadcasting hope and rebellion across the airwaves. It comprises 4 hours of original scripted drama from three DJ characters and introduces 18 specially created songs — reinterpretations of classic 60s tracks recorded on vintage equipment by Danger Mouse and Sam Cohen, and featuring performances by artists such as Beck, Norah Jones, Granddaddy, Sharon Van Etten, and more. Resistance Radio has been created to promote Amazon Studio’s original series The Man In The High Castle.

Based on the novel by Phillip K Dick, the complex narrative imagines 1962 America where the Allies lost WWII, and the Nazis and Imperial Japan have split control of the US.

Syncing with, yet negating the show’s oppressive tone, Resistance Radio imagines a fictional radio broadcast from the show’s Neutral Zone. The campaign immerses listeners in the alternate history via a rock and roll music radio station, manned by three DJs trying to keep the American dream alive, giving a voice to the last holdouts of freedom among the dissenters and die-hard believers.

In this dystopian reality, Resistance Radio provides work that reimagines music as we know it, from a world where Rock and Roll never existed, along with stories that tie into the major themes of the show’s premise.
