Radio theatre show about a fictional presidency in an alternate universe.
Weekly Program
Songs from Kraftwerk ("The Telephone Call"), Ray Charles ("Georgia on My Mind"), Gladys Night & The Pips ("Midnight Train to Georgia"), Jim Croce ("Walkin' Back to Georgia"), Charlie Daniels
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 two or three episodes. Then a new show, "Turn on the News," takes its place, in the same time slot, with a similar sound and approach, though about a fictional radio network.
Clips and excerpts from Rod Serling; Rudy Giuliani; Cartman; Richard Nixon; Wolf Blitzer; Donald Trump, Jr; James Comey; Kristen Welker; Jimmy Kimmel; Seth Meyers; Ted Cruz; Stephen Colbert; Carl Bernstein; Brad Raffensperger; Ryan Germany; Pumpkin from "Pulp Fiction;" J.L. Cauvin; and Montgomery Burns.
