Peace & Freedom Radio, Part 1
The No Show | Mar 30, 2010
PLAYLIST
Theme: “How Long Blues” – Jimmy Yancey, piano
“Time Has Come Today” – The Chambers Brothers
"Way Back in the 1960s" - Incredible String Band
“In My Life” – Judy Collins
“Air” – The Talking Heads
“Time is On My Side” – Rolling Stones
“Who Knows Where the Time Goes” – Fairport Convention
“Good Times” – Cat Mother & the All Night Newsboys The second in a five-part series of NO SHOW special editions reprising Steve Post’s adventures in radioland. 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--to follow 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? Good. Let’s go.
And tune in next week for the conclusion of this chapter.
