Associate Producer - What Can I Say?: The Culture of Patriotism and Dissent - The Fishko Files
Listen on PRX.org.
Through stories from people like comedian Mort Sahl, entertainer Tom Smothers, The Daily Show's Mo Rocca, critic Molly Haskell, writer/producer Larry Gelbart, The New York Times' Frank Rich and many others, this program examines the connections between culture and country, and how the establishment has responded to the pushes against it. We'll hear history, as Frank Sinatra, preaches "tolerance" on radio at the end of World War II, and current events, as Aaron McGruder's comic strip risks being pulled from tomorrow's newspaper.
What Can I Say explores how the messages have been sent, and how they have been received by a nation often hungry for reassurance. Sarah Fishko is the Host and Producer.
