Twas the night before Election Day and all through the house, progressives and liberals were freaking the f@#& out…so we headed over to Bill Scher’s place for the political analysis version of a cup of chamomile tea. Enjoy, friends…and then GOTV!
Natalia Muñoz, chair of Northampton’s Human Rights Commission, stops by the shack to discuss the recent controversy surrounding Tara Ganguly, the current election season, and the role of journalism.
This week’s debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump just happened to fall on the birthday of our pal, Politico Contributing Editor, and our favorite Blogginghead, Bill Scher. He joins us in the shack to talk about the debate, Donald’s chances, and the final few weeks of this most unusual election season. As always, we end up feeling a little bit better.
Also, if you’d like to hear him talk politics in real life, here’s your chance!
In which the Bill Dwight Show is a little like Adele: quiet for a long time and then one day – BOOM! New album. Or podcast. Whatever.
So…hi everybody! What’s going on with you? Sorry we haven’t been around much. 2016 has sucked pretty hard, hasn’t it? Well, we’ll do our best to not add to the suckiness, and maybe even alleviate some of it, if we can.
This week, we talk a little politics, both local and national, and chat with playwrights Leanna James Blackwell and Tanyss Rhea Martula, along with actor Susan Daniels, about this year’s Play-by-Play event at the A.P.E. Gallery. There’s also a little treat for you MAD Magazine fans out there.
The next presidential election isn’t happening for a year and half, but the hats are already starting to pile up in the proverbial ring. Hillary finally made her official – and much anticipated – announcement, and the Republican contenders are lining up to try and take her down. Our friend (and neighbor) Bill Scher takes time from his busy schedule writing for the Campaign for America’s Future and Politico, and appearing on MSNBC, to handicap the candidates with us.
Also, Bill muses about a rather monumental birthday coming up. Please, no party hats.
