Donald Drumpf Theatre Volume 156 War? (Audio)

Jan 09, 2020
Produced by Tom Roe.
Vol. 156 War?. This week, our hero goes to war?.

Thanks this week for the songs from Edwin Starr ("War"), Plastic Ono Band ("Give Peace a Chance"), and Golden Earring ("Twilight Zone"). Clips and excerpts from Rod Serling; Rudy Giuliani; Trevor Noah; Seth Meyers; Winston Smith; Brooke Baldwin; Hugh Hewitt; Stephen Colbert and "The Late Show;" Russ Cargill and President Schwarzenegger from "The Simpsons;" Jimmy Kimmel; George W. Bush; Donald Rumsfeld; Richard Engel; Rand Paul; Chuck Todd; Mike Pompeo; Jake Tapper; and Lindsey Graham. 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 10 episodes, but with impeachment cancellation is possible at any moment. Anyone who would like to work on a production, or have their work air in this timeslot, should contact info@wgxc.org.
