Comedy feel goodthought provoking
Radio’s intimate, disembodied voice makes a compelling setting, whether for comedy, rebellion or menace. A Prairie Home Companion has a live radio variety show facing cancellation, The Fisher King has a disgraced shock jock seeking redemption, and Pump Up the Volume has a teen’s anonymous pirate broadcasts becoming a voice for his peers. Private Parts, Talk Radio and Good Morning, Vietnam round out the six.
