Donald Drumpf Theatre Volume 114 St. Patrick's Day (Audio)

Mar 21, 2019
Produced by Tom Roe.
Donald Drumpf Theatre Volume 114 Happy St. Patrick's Day. This week, our hero has a lot to Tweet about. Songs and segments from Bobby Day ("Rockin' Robin"), Bob Dylan ("Subterranean Homesick Blues"), R.E.M. ("It's The End of the World As We Know It"), Elvis Costello ("Tramp the Dirt Down") and Golden Earring ("Twilight Zone"). Clips and excerpts from Sarah Sanders; Rudy Giuliani; Stephen Colbert; Ving Rhames; Jimmy Kimmel; Seth Meyers; Chris Jansing, George Stephanopoulos; Stephanie Ruhle; Andrea Mitchell; Howard Kurtz; Wajahat Ali; Chris Hayes; Margaret Brennan; Mick Mulvaney; and "The Late Show." 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 15 episodes, but there are threats of cancellation. Anyone who would like to work on a production, or have their work air in this timeslot, should contact info@wgxc.org.
