TCBH FESTIVUS 2013

Holiday audio shenanigans for all on the eve of that famous virgin birth so long ago.

1st Hour: Kenneth Dowst, New World Notes producer, delivers this mission brief: Some brief commentary by me, five seasonal satiric songs, and one satiric imitation Broadway "big production number." All take a comic but critical view of American hypocrisies, religiosity, commercialism, militarism, class warfare, and other Christmastime traditions.

2nd Hour: John Grant & Dave Lindorff

This Can't Be Happening (TCBH) is a four time Project Censored award winning online news collective.

From their web site: "It is our hope that the over 50,000 readers a month who have been regularly following ThisCantBeHappening.net -- which passed the 3-million hits mark in early 2013 -- will tell their friends and contacts to check out this new expanded version of the site. It is our hope too, that the many readers who have generously contributed financial support for the journalistic efforts of ThisCantBeHappening.net to date will be joined by many, many others, so that we five can really devote our efforts to getting out the truth about America’s wars, about the corrupt economic system we live in, about the racism, sexism and other kinds of discrimination and bias that permeate this society, about the ongoing commodification of culture, and about the steady assault on freedom--all stories and issues that are being ignored or papered over by the mass media.

Our goal is to give you the stories you aren’t getting from the corporate media, or to give you the stories you are getting from them, but from a different, and more honest, perspective."
