City Nights: Star for Sale

A man visits a star sale, where auctioneers are selling off the cosmos to the highest bidder. The Southern Cross, Orion's Belt, the Big Dipper -- they're all up for grabs.

Star for Sale was written by Patrick Holland and produced by Gretchen Miller with sound engineer Russell Stapleton. The story is just one of various sound rich anecdotes, scenes, and evocations from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's collaborative City Nights project. Hear more under "Extra".
