It is our immense pleasure and with infinite gratitude to Cindy McGean and Marc Rose, and in praise of the immortal Sam Mowry, we're proud to present for Monday Matinee "The Willamette Radio Workshop" beginning with "A Minotaur in the Whitehouse" by Jodi Lorimer. Tonight's opener is a short monologue, that speaks of “an agent of chaos, the bull in the China shop of democracy, on a smash-and-grab mission of destruction and self-enrichment”. And asks the question “Where are the deities to punish this monster?”

This week the masters of audio re-imaginings, John Barber and Marc Rose and The Voices perform Archibald MacLeish's "The Fall of the City" with some samples from Jack J. Ward's "Great Day for a War" to provide present day context. "The Fall of the City" follows the collapse of a city under an unnamed dictator and the ambiguous relationship humans have with freedom. We want freedom but we also like order and structure. How much freedom and liberty are we willing to give up to enjoy order and structure? Because of this ambiguity, we both fear and welcome the conqueror. So in with the old and mixed with the new!

Welcome back to the charming little world of Budley; a place so small that our town square is a triangle! Also while visiting, make sure you visit the ‘Leaning Statue of Susan Boyle’ it’s our most popular tourist attraction! Anyway, in today’s episode we learn more about the seedy underground world of “Sticky Sheets” (mainly from Sarge), take a visit to the ‘Budley NHS’, start building the ‘Titanic MK2’ and go supermarket shopping for some very free 2for1 deals.

Well, at least it’s better than a “Take the High Road Omnibus”.

Welcome back to Budley; a local village so small we don’t even have enough room to change our minds. We start with some unfortunate news this week; mainly that the local performance of “Wee Wee Jimmy Krankie: The Musical on Ice” has had to be cancelled because of the pending lawsuit by Barbara Windsor against her co-star. But in more positive news; the ‘Tom Daley’ fountain has finally been repaired and the cherubs have had their heads successfully reattached. Now if only we could just do something about those gnomes…
