THEME: "How Long Blues" - Jimmy Yancy This week we hear another selection from Steve Post's no-longer-in-progress-but- encyclopedic-in-scale novel. This episode takes place sometime in a remote past when the United States was waging war against a country that had never attacked it. (We know it's a stretch, but this is satire.) As we join Steve, he has just left his job as mimeographer for the "Committee to Wipe out Poverty," or CWOP, under the direction of obsessive-compulsive Reverend Thornhill. He's following his bliss as mailroom supervisor for WPFR (Peace & Freedom Radio), a job he saw advertised in the "Society for World Reconciliation Newsletter," or SWERN. All caught up now? The program's music kind of wanders off on its own. There is no hidden meaning. Nor meaning of any other kind.
