Volume 181 By The Time I Get to Arizona. This week our hero heads out on the open range, looking for a masked man. Thanks this week for the songs from Public Enemy ("By The Time I Get To Arizona"), Randy Rainbow ("Cover Your Freakin' Face"), Mudhoney ("Touch Me, I'm Sick"), Norman Greenbaum ("Spirit in the Sky"), and Golden Earring ("Twilight Zone"). Clips and excerpts from Rod Serling; Rudy Giuliani; Cartman; Richard Nixon; J.L. Cauvin; Seth Meyers; Phil and Larry from "Groundhog Day;" Willie Geist; Trevor Noah; Stephen Colbert; Katy Tur; Anthony Fauci; Elizabeth Warren; Chris Hayes; Mike Pence; Jared Kushner; and Joe Biden. An original radio theatre show each week, with most sounds culled from the previous week, about a fictional, theatrical presidency. Contradictions tell the story, with songs, skits, and clips from political news shows and late-night comedy routines. The definition of "radio theatre" is stretched here, with an updated Dickie Goodman and/or Richard Foreman-meets-mashup style sometimes, and a more straightforward take other weeks. Currently airing on 30 or 40 stations around the world, the network has ordered another 6 months of episodes. Anyone who would like to work on a production, or have their work air in this timeslot, should contact info@wgxc.org.
