Political Satire

A radio news quiz show, produced by a group of clever political satirists and columnists. It's rather fast-paced and full of cultural references that may make it difficult to understand, but the program does give you a glimpse of the critical view many Americans hold of our government/society. It also provides a window into the kinds of issues that are on the minds of average Americans these days--like stepping into a cocktail party in Chicago (with some very funny guests) for an hour.

And here is a link to that funny piece about American Diplomacy, the one i gave a bad rendition of in class. It's Act 2, "Stay in 'Touch".
