New World Notes - Dispatches from the War on Christmas
This week on New World Notes: radio program #302, Tuesday, December 17, 2013, from 12:00 to 12:30 p.m. (and again on Wednesday from 8:30 to 9:00 p.m.), host Kenneth Dowst takes a mostly lighthearted look at the right wing's favorite fantasy: which is that "secular progressives" have declared a "war on Christmas"--part of their larger war to destroy Christianity, legalize narcotics, prostitution, gay marriage, etc., etc.
We'll hear ravings by Bill O'Reilly, a funny rebuttal by Jon Stewart, personal reflections by K.D., and a short history lesson. (The only real wars on Christmas were fought by the Puritans.) We end with selections from a fine comic audio collage on the subject by Scooter.
New World Notes reaches California. The show is now carried by nonprofit, community-supported station WGIG-FM 104.9 in Modesto. Broadcast days and times vary.
WHUS 91.7 (Storrs, CT) has changed its program schedule. The station now broadcasts New World Notes on Thursdays at 10 AM. See the complete schedule.
New World Notes is produced under the auspices (Latin for "nihil obstat") of WWUH-FM, a community service of the University of Hartford.
