Donald Drumpf Theatre Vol. 20 Communication Breakdown. 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 absurdity of the past week that's actually radio theatre, so the news is true.
Songs and skits this week from Peter Serafinowicz ("Donald of Arabia," and "Sassy Trump Sings National Anthem on Memorial Day"), The Simpsons ("125 Days"), Anthony Atamanuik ("The President Screams At The TV") Led Zeppelin ("Communication Breakdown") Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald ("Lets Call The Whole Thing Off"), Spike Jones ("Der Fhrers Face"), and Golden Earring ("Twilight Zone").
Clips and excerpts from Donald Drumpf, Lawrence O'Donnell, Chris Cuomo, Erin Burnett, Ali Velshi, Chris Hayes, Steve Kornacki, Ari Melber, Jill Wine-Banks, Sean Spicer, John Brennan, Malcolm Nance, Malcolm X, Spongebob Squarepants, Mr. Krabs, Katy Tur, Kellyanne Conway, Nicolle Wallace, Craig Melvin, Mika Brzezinski, and Joe Scarborough. 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.
