The Paper Machete Radio Magazine: Issue Date 6/25/11 [PODCAST]




The Paper Machete show

Summary: The 6/25 show included a number of Pride-related pieces, ranging from an uproarious gay iconography lesson by Rob Anderson (Impress These Apes) to a provocative essay about the gay movement's path from camp to moral seriousness by Sharon Greene (The Neo-Futurists). This week's Radio Magazine also includes Zach Wahls (University of Iowa student best know for his speech to the Iowa House of Representatives) with the "Expert Expat" report on the Iowa caucuses; Dr. Bill Savage (PhD. Northwestern) on Al Capone's legend and cultural stereotypes; Caitlin Parrish (playwright, A Twist of Water) on Catfish Day and Reagan's AIDS record; and high school teacher Jacob Steward (also Zack's speech coach) with our "This Day in History" segment, about the 1,758th anniversary of the beheading of Pope Cornelius (and a whole lot more . . . just you wait). We top it all off with some fiddling by Machete house musician Jonas Friddle.
