A celebration of that under-appreciated verbal art form, the rant. Good rants are extreme, impolite, impolitic, impassioned, publicly significant, ... and by and large true. We feature choice rants by Paddy Chayevsky (from "Network," 1976), George Carlin (1992), George Galloway (2006), and TeneBROUST (2009). Alas, all--even the oldest--are still cogent and very relevant! Intro. & afterword by K.D.
"New World Notes" is produced under the auspices (Latin for "long-suffering sighs") of WWUH-FM, a community service of that beacon of light in darkest Connecticut, the University of Hartford.
Previously broadcast as NWN #73 in July 2009.

SERIES OVERVIEW -- Political and social commentary in a variety of genres. Exploring the gap between what we want ... and what they're trying to make us settle for. "Date recorded," below, = date of first scheduled broadcast
