Donald Drumpf Theatre Vol. 165 The Virus Spreads. This week our hero might be a little bit sick.

Thanks this week for the songs from The Replacements ("Nightclub Jitters"), Mudhoney ("Touch Me I'm Sick"), and Golden Earring ("Twilight Zone"). Clips and excerpts from Rod Serling; Rudy Giuliani; Richard Nixon; "The Late Show;" Stephen Colbert; Trevor Noah; Seth Meyers; John Oliver; Jim Acosta; Joy Reid; Anthony Fauci; Martin Brody, Matt Hooper, and Larry Vaughn from "Jaws;" Kate McKinnon and Cecily Strong from "Saturday Night Live;" Jimmy Kimmel; Nicolle Wallace; Katy Tur; and Joe Biden. 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 11 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.
