Donald Drumpf Theatre: Vol. 97. Slip Slidin' Away. This week, our hero's grip on a representational democracy is slipping away. Songs this week from Guns 'n Roses ("Paradise City"), Ann Wilson and Mike Reno ("Almost Paradise"), Paul Simon ("Slip Slidin' Away"), and Golden Earring ("Twilight Zone"). Clips and excerpts from Sarah Sanders; Rudy Giuliani; John Oliver; Stephen Colbert; Jimmy Kimmel; Ali Velshi; Bugs Bunny; Chris Hayes; Matt Whitaker; John Dean; Katy Tur; Steve Kornacki; Chris Jansing; and Anakin Skywalker. "Donald Drumpf Theatre" is an original radio theatre show about a fictional, theatrical presidency, with most sounds culled from the previous week. 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. The network has currently ordered another 15 episodes, but there are threats of cancellation. Anyone who would like to contribute to the show should contact info@wgxc.org.
