30-minute weekly radio program for May 3, 2011. Very nice *audiocollage* by Virtual Renderings, slightly condensed by me. It's a meditation on class warfare, the ruling elite's dislike of democracy, American exceptionalism, and the prescience of George Orwell, among other themes.
Voices heard belong to Howard Zinn, Michael Parenti, Noam Chomsky, historian Morris Berman, and Ken Nordine (himself a master of *audiocollage*), among others worth hearing. Includes dramatic readings from Orwell's "1984" and a wonderful satiric duet featuring Harry Shearer and Barack H. Obama ("Yes, We Can ... But").
