Donald Drumpf Theatre Vol. 19 Smoke From a Distant Fire. The show is a make-believe listen to what might happen if a reality television star became the leader of the free world. The show features news clips and songs cut in a way similar to Dickie Goodman, with a Richard Foreman-meets-mashup style. Contributions are welcome to info@wgxc.org. It's a fake news show about the past week that's actually radio theatre, so the news is true.
Excerpted songs this week from Hall & Oates ("Private Eyes"), Bobby Vinton ("Blue Velvet"), Eddy Grant ("Electric Avenue"), Glenn Frey ("The Heat is On"), Sanford Thompson Band ("Smoke From a Distant Fire"), The Traveling Wilburys ("The End of the Line"), Spike Jones ("Der Fhrers Face"), and Golden Earring ("Twilight Zone").
Clips and excerpts from Donald Drumpf, Colin Jost, John Oliver, John Brennan, George Stephanopoulos, James Comey, Bill Maher, Jake Tapper, Seth Meyers, Chris Matthews, Stephen Colbert, Michael Flynn, Michael Che, Katy Tur, Richard Blumenthal, Mark Hamill, Ali Velshi, Chris Hayes, Nicolle Wallace, Chuck Todd, Jill Wine-Banks, Lou Dobbs, Jesse Watters, Charlie Rose, Jeffrey Toobin, and John McCain. Original radio theatre, and new productions from Pacifica Radio are included here, with historic radio theatre some weeks. The definition of "radio theatre" is stretched here, with a Richard Foreman-meets-mashup style sometimes, and a more straightforward take other weeks. Anyone who would like to work on a production, or have their work air in this timeslot, should contact info@wgxc.org.
