Darwin in Love
Sunday, October 29, 2006
The NO SHOW Resident Naturalist and Darwin Bum Richard Milner entertains us with his take on Darwin’s theory of sexual selection and manages to keep the conversation within the FCC’s vague but stringent indecency guidelines. Richard sings a couple of songs from his one-man show, “Charles Darwin: Alive and in Concert,” and one by Eric Idle about homosexuality in the animal kingdom. He also discusses his upcoming tour of the Galapagos Islands and a “graphic autobiography” of his wife he has published which he terms, “The survival of the fattest.”
Give It To Me
Sunday, October 22, 2006
Look out! It’s that time of year again (and again and again). Time when The NO SHOW asks you the question, “What’s in your wallet?” Songwriter/satirist Roy Zimmerman joins in to help put you in the giving mood. Steve Post sings “Jealousy” to put you in a put you in a bad mood. And Frank Millspaugh just worries a lot and repeats the WNYC Giving Hotline phone number. Altogether, a typical mish-mash. Could be worse. Probably will be.

War, Sex, & Politics
Sunday, October 08, 2006
The theme of this week’s NO SHOW is, What’s the point of even having a grudge if you can’t hold it? Substitute host, producer and utility infielder, Frank Millspaugh, and NO SHOW Embedded Political Correspondent, Emily Levine, prove a real grudge match as they parse the political grammar of the election season. This week’s edition of The Broken News features the ever-popular
Department of World Religions and the never-popular Department of Human Genome Development. And, of course, gratuitous violence.
Politics: Let the Races Begin
Sunday, October 01, 2006
NO SHOW embedded political correspondent, Emily Levine, ascribes her misgivings about the coming elections to the malign effects of the Santa Ana winds currently sweeping Los Angeles; that, the recklessness of the Republicans, the fecklessness of the Democrats, and the possibility of an October surprise in Iran. The Broken News features animal vengeance stories and new non-criminal job opportunities for children. And the Musical Necropolis inducts two new citizens: reggae songwriter/singer, Joseph Hill, and R&B man, Floyd Dixon.
