Donald Drumpf Theatre: Vol. 81 Changing Channels. This week our hero can't keep his fingers off the little buttons. Songs this week from King Tubby ("The Channel One Feel"), Public Enemy ("She Watch Channel Zero"), Peggy Lee ("Switchin' Channels"), Scanner ("Turning the Dial"), The B-52's ("Channel Z"), The Clash ("Rudie Can't Fail"), R.E.M. ("Losing My Religion"), The Coasters ("Charlie Brown"), and Golden Earring ("Twilight Zone"). Clips and excerpts from Sarah Sanders; "Our Cartoon President;" Rudy Guiliani; Alisyn Camerota; Stephen Colbert; Savannah Guthrie; John Oliver; Seth Meyers; Chris Hayes; Jimmy Kimmel; Trevor Noah; Chris Matthews; Nicolle Wallace; and George Stephanopoulos. "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.
