Donald Drumpf Theatre Vol. 205 Electoral College (Audio)
Dec 17, 2020
Produced by Tom Roe.
Vol. 205 Electoral College. This week our hero gets schooled.
Thanks this week for the songs from Warren Zevon ("Lawyers, Guns, and Money"), Elvis Costello ("Less Than Zero"), Orleans ("Still The One"), and Golden Earring ("Twilight Zone"). Clips and excerpts from Rod Serling; Rudy Giuliani; Cartman; Richard Nixon; Colin Jost from "Saturday Night Live;" Stephen Colbert from "The Late Show;" Seth Meyers from "Late Night;" Wily E. Coyote; Sean Hannity; Ted Cruz; J.L. Cauvin; Hallie Jackson; Brian Kilmeade; Ken Paxton; Nicolle Wallace; Newt Gingrich; Chris Wallace; and Stephen Miller. 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 five or six episodes. Then a new show, "Turn on the News," takes its place, in the same time slot, with a similar sound and approach, though about a fictional radio network.
