Closet

The No Show | Mar 30, 2010

Steve Post comes out of the closet, sees his shadow, and goes back in again, but not before calling for a national moratorium on television appearances by Dick Armey and Tom Delay. In the educational portion of the program, Steve explains the difference between Gross Domestic Product and Gross National Product. Mercifully, he does so in under a minute, although it may be the longest minute in radio history. And he inducts “the father of Latin boogaloo,” Joe Cuba, into The NO SHOW Musical Necropolis. A pretty good show, considering.
