Radio news headlines about how six cows wandering on a farmer's land led to a radio-controlled drone to be circling overhead in North Dakota, plus a look ahead to "Future of Video" and an FCC oversight hearing in the U.S. House of Representatives. And Free Press gives advice on how to look up information in a broadcaster's public file. The show tunes in two telephone calls: a "New York Telephone Conversation" from Lour Reed and an "International Telephone Conversation" from The Mad Scene. The show will consider one-hour of National Public Radio breathing, and if music is getting slower and more somber. The show looks at a Slate essary about "The Cigarette of This Century" and listens to "The Machine in Your Hand" by The Magnetic Fields, plus a little from a Merzbow June 6 show in Brooklyn.
