27 MONTHS by DMcD Productions LLC

Many people have heard about the United States Peace Corps founded in 1961 by President John F. Kennedy. And quite a few people know someone who has served as a Peace Corps Volunteer in some far-off place overseas. But few people know exactly what happens during those 27 months of service as a Peace Corps Volunteer in a foreign country.

Independent multimedia producer David McDonald of DMcD Productions returned to Minnesota after serving as a Peace Corps Volunteer in Morocco from 2012 to 2014. During his service, he interviewed over 40 fellow Peace Corps Volunteers as well as recorded a fascinating variety of audio from all over Morocco. The result is a ten-part audio documentary called 27 MONTHS. This entertaining and thought-provoking series looks at what it means to serve as a Peace Corps Volunteer from the first day of training in Philadelphia to the close of service in Morocco more than two years later. With a mixture of David's narration, wide-ranging interviews with his colleagues, every day sounds from Morocco, and loads of different music, 27 MONTHS explores whether the Peace Corps is still relevant in the 21st century by looking at the good, the bad, the disappointing, and the fulfilling.

Broadcast on Northern Community Radio KAXE and KBXE from November 2014 to January 2015.
