New World Notes - Scooter's 'War on Christmas Kickstarter'

This week on New World Notes: radio program #406, December 15, 2015, Tuesday from 12:00 to 12:30 p.m. (and on Wednesday from 8:30 to 9:00 p.m.), host Kenneth Dowst airs a fine audio collage on Christmas and America produced by Scooter.

A blend of social satire, inspired nonsense, improbable music, serious debate, standup comedy, right-wing craziness, and great fun.

This collage weaves together a debate on religion by the late Christopher Hitchens and Bill Donahue, a parody musical-comedy Christmas movie, a parody war movie (climaxing in the death of all three Chipmunks), ravings by Bill O'Reilly and a few televangelists, heavy-metal Christmas carols, standup comedy by Lewis Black and Sam Kinison, and more.

Last December we played a 12-minute excerpt from the piece. This year (what the heck) we present Scooter's tour-de-force ... almost uncut ... almost uncensored ... and almost unabridged!

Scooter produces The innerSide radio program at KPFT-FM, Houston. Find more of his work at http://aksisofevil.org.

New World Notes is produced under the auspices (Latin for "Executive Dining Room") of WWUH-FM, a community service of the University of Hartford.

You can listen to any installment of New World Notes online or else download it (as an mp3 audio file) for later listening.

Series overview: Political and social commentary in a variety of genres. Exploring the gap between what we want--and what they're trying to make us settle for.
