Product DescriptionRadio news format with a decidedly wacky twist. Public radio fans will recognize the format, but not the content. Comedy for a news-weary world.
Billed as "comedy for a news-weary world," the CD roughly follows the format of NPR's news show. But there is no confusing that Peabody Award-winning show with "Consider This."
Listeners will recognize the musical interludes and the correspondents familiar cadences as similar to NPR's. And while the comedic duo of Martens and Jones respectfully tips their hat to "All Things Considered," devoted NPR fans will soon realize WPR (Westville Public Radio) reflects the realities of a world all its own.
Marwood Media is a fictitious media conglomerate that produces a local public radio show whose aspirations far overreach its reality; although media mogul Llewellyn Marwood, Marwood Medias leader and patriarch, would tend to disagree with that assessment.
From the national news of Chimps van Gogh, to an interview with radio mime Renée de la Bouche, "Consider This" delivers faux news humor like you've never heard before. Volume 2 covers news, the arts, and human interest stories with the detail youd expect from public radio but with the content only found in the "Consider This" universe.
