Vintage sci-fi rears its tentacled head with “The Long Question,” by David Mason, from the November, 1957 edition of Infinity magazine. It’s a sharp and satirical take on smarmy game shows and the nature of time.

First published in July, 1921. Then some faux commercials, with appearances by Jennywren Walker, Dan Bernard and Julie Nye. This episode hosted, produced and directed by Dan Bernard, theme music and intro produced by Michael Townsend.

Hosted by Kris Randolph (Dan Bernard). 
Then a slice of news, politics and opinion from Wonkette.com . “NC Gov Nominee Mark Robinson Not Personally Coming to Kill You—He’s Just Asking Others to Kill You;” “Trump Campaign Tells Evangelicals: Ixnay On The Bortionaay Ansbay.”

Then we switch gears as we hear “The Myth: Radio Story Hour” broadcasting human stories “told live, with very little coaching” from a grange hall in Buxton, Maine.
