June 2004

Blossom Dearie

Saturday, June 26, 2004

Steve Post reveals a secret side to his sensibility: an unexpected affinity for jazz singer Blossom Dearie; well, for her singing and piano styles anyway. The music, logically enough, features her work as well as that of others who are in a similar vein. Good stuff.


Fat Boy

Saturday, June 19, 2004

Inside every thin man, there is a fat man trying to get out. This is all the more true of Steve Post, who though thin now, spent his childhood and youth as a junior blimp. Steve relates his efforts, first to avoid confronting his weight, then his doomed efforts to diet. All in all, a tale of adversity and the nobility of the human spirit. The music is sweet to the ear.


Summer Camp

Saturday, June 12, 2004

Steve Post’s heart goes out (a disgusting image) to children preparing to be shipped off to summer camp as well as to their unsuspecting counselors, both of which roles he played in his childhood and youth and both of which filled him with a passionate hatred he later devoted to Richard M. Nixon. The music will give you heartburn.


Paul Krassner

Saturday, June 05, 2004

A special NO SHOW this week as Steve Post talks with Paul Krassner, a kind of counter-cultural renaissance man. Writer, publisher editor, activist, psychedelic explorer, and concert violinist, Krassner calls himself an investigative satirist. People Magazine calls him the father of the underground press. The FBI called him “a raving, unconfined nut.” The music will confirm the latter characterization.
