Donald Drumpf Theatre Vol. 189 Vote! (Audio)

Aug 27, 2020
Produced by Tom Roe.
Volume 189 Vote!. This week our hero is up against a vote.

Thanks this week for the songs from Amy Rigby ("Here It Is Saturday"), John Mellencamp ("Crumblin' Down"), Wreckless Eric and Amy Rigby ("Vote The ----er Out"), and Golden Earring ("Twilight Zone"). Clips and excerpts from Rod Serling; Rudy Giuliani; Cartman; Richard Nixon; Bert, Ernie, Grover, Kermit the Frog, and others from "Sesame Street;" Trevor Noah; Stephanie Ruhle; Anderson Cooper; Ali Velshi; Hallie Jackson; John Heilman; Seth Meyers; Peter Alexander; Pete Williams; Stephen Colbert; J.L. Cauvin; and Maryanne Trump Barry. 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 five months of episodes. Anyone who would like to work on a production, or have their work air in this timeslot, should contact info@wgxc.org.
