Episode 227!"Donald Drumpf Theatre" is the weekly radio theatre show about a fictional presidency, with parody radio coverage of the radio and its headlines. Now with computerized news readers, and fewer meddling reporters, plus aggregated reporting, and automated music. It is often a mash-up of the week's news, and sometimes a radio news fantasy with song parodies and covers all mixed in a style similar to Spike Jones, Dickie Goodman, Dr. Demento, or Richard Foreman with comedy skits, sketches, radio waves, and more. Produced by Tom Roe. Make sense of the unreality here. Clips and songs are from some of the sources below.Turn On The News is a reader-supported publication.
