Enlighten Radio: The Storytelling Hour: November 19: The Guys

The Steak and Mushroom Show Podcast, and a New Name for the No Name

This podcast of the NAME IN PROGRESS show was broadcast live on Enlighten Radio  from the Red Caboose studio in Bolivar, WV on Nov 8, 2018, two days after the Midterm elections. 
We are  trying out THE CITIZEN DINER as a name for the program 
For information about the show, or interest in Internet Radio Programming, email John at host@enlightenradio.org
John Case, JB Christensen, and Larry Bish deliver a menu headlined by a black bean and steak hash of the Mid term elections.
At least that was the intent. But a pot-luck atmosphere arose as "Out to Dinner" crew consul Mike Diesel and our sponsor, the Zen Hounddog, called in to heap magical mushrooms on the Dinner Out Crew's plates, as you will hear. 
the Intro gives the  story behind the profound and moving letter JBs friend and fellow retired merchant seaman wrote to him on Trump and the mid-term elections.
At 3 minutes, the letter begins. And what a letter! A little like your shoulder has been grabbed by Samuel Taylor Coleridge's ANCIENT MARINER and you're forced to hear the tale of a murdered albatross -- and the vast curse that has ensued.
At 15 minutes, Larry Bish joins the meal and, sensing we began without a prayer, prepares a Meditation rice designed to clear up the crew's muddy thinking. 
At 30 minutes, Mike Diesel calls in and the food fight begins, as the crew is forced to beat back Thumper himself, and Rush Limbaugh from ruining everyone's sense of humor. There follows serious election discussion by our most experienced analysts  -- and hour's worth!
at 1 hour 45 minutes, the "F*** Ted Nugent" segment begins, recommended for adult audiences.
the program closes with an unknown version of Russian Lullaby

The LARRY BISH EXCERPT from the "Birthright Chicken" episode of the NAME IN PROGRESS program

The shadow, and karma, of Vietnam is long. The Cold War was bad, but Vietnam broke the nation's heart. After 50 years its hard to decide was it the war itself, or some deeper Gulf Stream beneath the waves driving us toward schism and decline. 
 
The "Birthright Chicken" Episode was broadcast Nov 1, 2018.
 
The NAME IN PROGRESS program airs raw and live from the Red Caboose Studio in Bolivar, WV,  on Thursdays at 6Pm on Enlighten Radio. hosted by the Dinner Out Crew. 

The NAME I N PROGRESS SHOW: EXCERPT: The Sean O'Leary interview

This podcast is a 15 minute excerpt form the entire "Birthright Chicken", Nov 1, 2018 Episode of the NAME IN PROGRESS program. 
Sean is one of the pithiest commentators on the West Virginia scene, even though he has now relocated to Seattle where the Cascadia Independence movement is strengthening.
Something WV might consider if a rich partner could be found, a rags to riches fairy tale becomes real. 
The program is broadcast live and raw Thursdays, 6 PM - 8 PM from the Red Caboose Studio in Bolivar, WV

The NAME IN PROGRESS Podcast -- the Birthright Chicken Show -- Nov 1, 2018

The Dinner Out Crew have convened again, for the Nov. 1, 2018 NAME IN PROGRES show, 5 days before the election, to make our pics and predictions, over a meal of fried "Birthright" Chicken, and an "Completely White" potato salad. Add some Toasted Headed rUMP, and its "Let the Gaslighting Begin!"
 
Headlining the RAW version of the Live Program are playwright and well-known West Virginia pithful political analyst, Sean O'Leary. The fact that Sean calls from Seattle does not diminish in the slightest his keen eye on WV politics and political economy.
 
Two new additions to the program STAFF include Larry Bish and Lynneia Atkinson. Larry brings the classic hipster philosophical ATTITUDE to life in the 21st Century: A vietnam era veteran of the US Marines, musician, counselor to inmates at the Eastern Regional Jail, and serious  student of humanity too. Larry demonstrates the long shadow of Vietnam on today's troubled times.
 
Lynneia Atkinson, brings the "55 [Counties] Strong"  spirit of the West Virginia Teachers political strike to the entire matter, as well as a moving insight into the daily wins and losses in the classrooms of Jefferson County.
 
MIke Diesel brings his great talent -- and leading world personalities that live as avatars inside him -- making name-calling unnecessary.
 
Lynneia, JB  Christensen and John Case -- all currently members of the Eastern Panhandle Central Labor council, and mostly due to JBs urging -- bring back a labor perspective that they hosted for 10 years on the Labor Beat Radio Program local college radio.
 
Check it out.
