Donald Drumpf Theatre Vol. 168 The Bugs Are Taking Over (Audio)

Apr 02, 2020
Produced by Tom Roe.
Donald Drumpf Theatre Vol. 168 The Bugs Are Taking Over. This week our hero is afraid of pollsters, doctors, and health experts.

Thanks this week for the songs from Elvis Costello ("Hurry Down Doomsday"), and Golden Earring ("Twilight Zone"). Clips and excerpts from Rod Serling; Rudy Giuliani; Richard Nixon; "The Simpsons;" Ali Velshi; Jim Acosta; Jimmy Kimmel; Ari Melber; J.L. Cauvin; Chris Hayes; Ned Lamont; Jake Tapper; Jay Inslee; "The Late Show;" Mike Pence; Rachel Maddow; and Lawrence O'Donnell. 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.
