The Reagan Myth-Buster show looks at Reagan’s Central American wars, trading Arms for hostages with Iranian Terrorists, propping up Apartheid in South Africa, Nuclear Madness, and his belief in smaller government by creating the largest federal deficit in history (at that time). This is done largely through music of the time, but a comment or three from Reagan, and protesters of the day are also heard from.

The Reagan Myth-buster show is my reaction to all the propaganda surrounding Ronald Reagan’s 100th birthday, and the recent PBS program “American Experience.”
Reagan was an American Experience, but not one of our better ones. I don’t understand the deity of this man, and I know I am not alone.
It originally was broadcast as a live radio show on WMBR in Cambridge. I created a web-intro, and tightened up the program in post, cutting most of the legal ID's, but the program still has the live radio feel.
