Donald Drumpf Theatre Volume 136 A Horse Loose in a Hospital (Audio)

Aug 22, 2019
Produced by Tom Roe.
Volume 136: A Horse in a Hospital. This week, something is loose in the wrong building.

Songs from Roy Zimmerman ("Covefefe"), John Zorn ("Kristallnacht"), Heaven 17 ("We Don't Need This Fascist Groove Thang"), and Golden Earring ("Twilight Zone"). Clips and excerpts from Sarah Sanders; Rod Serling; Rudy Giuliani; John Mulaney; Stephen Colbert; Seth Meyers; Hallie Jackson; John Heilemann; Shepard Smith; and Jimmy Kimmel. 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 15 episodes, but there are threats of cancellation. Anyone who would like to work on a production, or have their work air in this timeslot, should contact info@wgxc.org.
