Halloween and Daylight Losing Time

Saturday, October 30, 2004

Steve Post, host of The NO SHOW, feels that everything is coming down on him at once: Halloween, Daylight Losing Time, the Day of the Dead in Mexico, and the Day of the Living Dead, aka, Election Day in the U.S. A good time for a posthumous visit from Theodore Gottlieb, or Brother Theodore as he was known, to share his morbid and mordant wit. The music will haunt you.


In Rare Form

Saturday, October 23, 2004

Steve Post, host of The NO SHOW, is in rare form—lashing out at his producer, his engineer, the New York Times, his brief and unlamented career as a standup comic, and the passing of the manual typewriter—until it is finally time for his nap. The music is some consolation.


It's Pledge Week

Saturday, October 16, 2004

It’s Pledge Week; need we say more? Unfortunately, we do. Lots more. And Steve Post says it all and then some. Be listening as Steve prostrates himself before the microphone in abject beggary. You will be moved to an exquisite and excruciating combination of pity and revulsion as Steve plucks your heartstrings in order to loosen your purse strings. The music is a form of extortion...


Notyetster

Saturday, October 09, 2004

Striking a ruminative note, Steve Post meditates on the meaning of life and death, the temporal and the eternal, the adventitious and the essential. You’ll think you’ve died and gone to hell. The music will redeem you.


Paul Krassner

Saturday, October 02, 2004

Paul Krassner, countercultural renaissance man and “raving, unconfined nut,“ is Steve Post’s special guest on The NO SHOW this week. Steve interviews Paul on the political season by asking the same question over and over and getting a different answer every time. (Who does that remind you of?) In other business, Steve confesses to further excesses since he has “acquired acquisitiveness.” Not to give too much away, but “robo-dusters” figure into it. The music will amuse you who are not victims of amusia.
