Day of Misgiving

Saturday, November 27, 2004

Steve Post, host of The NO SHOW, announces a campaign to establish a new national holiday – MISGIVING DAY. Falling on the first Saturday after Thanksgiving Day, MISGIVING DAY is designed to break the arc of forced bonhomie that extends from Thanksgiving, hits its apogee at Christmas, and climaxes on New Year’s Eve. Audience participation is invited. The music will serve as a palliative.


Fun and Games

Saturday, November 20, 2004

MONEY is the subject of this week’s No Show as host Steve Post recounts his adventures as a boy entrepreneur and wonders why the impulse to make money waned as the desire to spend it increased. The accompanying music is, as always,a fixed asset.


Psychedelic

Saturday, November 13, 2004

It’s all fun and games ont The NO SHOW this week as host Steve Post reveals little known and less desired facts about his psychedelic past and his present inability to excel at any game or sport or much else, for that matter. The music strikes a sour note.


"Post"-election "Post"-mortem

Saturday, November 06, 2004

Steve Post, host of The NO SHOW, convenes his crew to conduct a, well, "post"-election "post"-mortem. "Embedded political correspondent," Emily Levine and "raving, unconfined nut," Paul Krassner, join Steve to make light of a bad situation and to evade questions put to them by listeners. The music will be suitably melancholy.
