Synopsis
From AudioFile This collection of stories that highlight the twentieth century's most important events is from THE ONION, a satirical print and online newspaper out of Madison, Wisconsin. A hit-and-miss affair, its funniest pieces are about the TITANIC, the Depression and the Apollo moon landing (harsh language on this one). The narrators are great at re-creating the tones and inflections of the radio era. They bounce from outrage to forthrightness to straight news delivery, depending on the story. The sound effects are also very good. R.I.G. © AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine Product DescriptionThe Onion has quickly become the world's most popular humor publication, misinforming half a million readers a week with one-of-a-kind social satire both in print (on news stands nationwide) and online (at www.theonion.com) from its remote office in Madison, Wisconsin.
In Our Dumb Century you can listen to the march of history as editor-in-chief Scott Dikkers and The Onion's award-winning staff present the sounds of a twentieth century you'll barely recognize. Now that the century is winding down, it's time to look back, breathe a sigh of relief, and laugh-out-loud at the dumbest 100 years on record - as reported in the high satirical style of The Onion.
Performed by Scott Dikkers and staff of The Onion on one cassette.
