Vintage sci-fi: Hear “Ozymandias,” by the great Robert Silverberg writing as Ivar Jorgensen, from the November, 1958 edition of Infinity magazine. It’s a Cold-War influenced tale of a planet with traces of an ancient civilization long-gone; a wise robot; embittered government spacemen and archeologists seeking new weapons for use on Earth. Narrated/produced by Dan Bernard.

Celebrity interviews: Jennifer Coolidge (played by Julie Nye) spills some stories, does some Middle-East peace-seeking improv with host Dan Bernard. Eric Darrow Worthley brings some gravitas to classic rock lyrics by Black Sabbath and Led Zeppelin. Adele (Julie Nye) then visits the show to plug her Oxford, Maine casino tour. We meet some of her staff and her manager (all played by Julie). Adele spits some rhymes. Eric returns with some freeform be-bop influenced Shakespeare. Becky Toothy-Soccermom (Hilary Aptowitz) welcomes Martha Stewart (also Hilary) to inspect military hardware. Host/director/some production: Dan Bernard; production also by Michael Townsend.
