New World Notes - Dispatches from the War on Christmas

12/17/2013 12:00 pm
12/18/2013 9:00 pm
 

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.

You can listen to any installment of New World Notes online or else download it (as an mp3 audio file) for later listening. The show is archived at both A-Infos Radio Project and (from #90 onwards) the Internet Archive. Either link should get you a reverse-chronological listing of available installments. Or browse the show's Web site: Each installment has a page; each page has links to the recorded audio; and a handy table of contents will quickly find the installment you want.

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.
