This week we tune in radio art mash-ups. First tune in Douglas Kahn’s piece “Reagan Speaks for Himself” (1980), in which Kahn carefully edits together Ronald Reagan interviews to concoct a hilarious and surreal story. Then hear Cliff Roth and "The Reagans Speak Out on Drugs," released in 1988. It is an almost seamless re-edit of the the Ron and Nancy Reagan's "Just Say No" speech given by the Reagans in September of 1986. Then tune in Doug Kaplan and his “Ira Glass Speaks for Himself,” a proposed long-form troll radio play in which one of radio’s most recognizable voices is mercilessly edited to tell a mind-boggling, magical realism-core, ambling non-story. Then noted turntablist Christian Marclay is featured, with "His Master's Voice." And finally Transmaniacon MC's Radio4 is featured.
