This Week in Radio News: Art's Birthday (Audio)

Jan 23, 2016
Produced by Tom Roe.
First, the headlines: NOAA tests new voice of weather radio; Live365 streaming service closes; European courts may be striking down mass surveillance; Democratic candidates talk encryption; NPR and NAB argue for FM chip in phones because national security. Then, a little backwards "Let's Dance" from David Bowie, and then the Charles Foster Kane political speech from the movie "Citizen Kane" is remixed, with "Donald J. Trump" dubbed in for Kane. And then, to celebrate the annual Jan. 17 birthday of "art," we hear The Beatles' and others birthday songs backwards. Plus a new song from Bob Mould, "Voices in My Head."
