Delano Hunter’s long-shot bid to unseat the Ward 5 DC city councilman electrified an entire community; Channel 38 was there to cover the movement months before the Washington Post finally took notice in its formal endorsement of Hunter’s candidacy.

In this episode, we also feature innovative tracks from Girl Talk and yet another crop of Wesleyan artists.  Greta and Brian stop by to promote their new program, and Randy, Josiah, and Jesse wax poetic.

Thanks for scoping Channel 38.

The Channel Guide – Episode ONE

Not by deliberate design did the media we assemble for our first broadcast collude to produce a theme.
But it’s easy to detect.

In our interviews and excerpts, there emerges a call to take responsibility for history’s course.  To combat “the paralysis of inspiration, the romantic celebration of small-minded bureaucracy, the feverish tyranny of the status quo, the staggering poverty of ambition.”

CONTENTS:

“STAND UP!  Start challenging this corporate slave state. Resistance is not futile.”
“There’s got to be a genuine awakening . . . of individual responsibility, to use every means of communication.”
“The community must be given the chance to express itself.”
“But this morning, I felt as strong as a bolt of lightning…”

ABSTRACT:
In this inaugural broadcast of The Channel Guide, we interview the Honorable John B. Anderson, 1980 third-party Presidential candidate and 10-term Congressman from Illinois.  He speaks of his deep regret for supporting the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, the demise of his former Republican Party, his role in passing the Civil Rights Act, and the duties of our millennial generation.  Presented in three installments.
(Read Time Magazine’s 1980 article on Anderson’s historic race, and check out his campaign commercial.)

We also offer rhythms from around the 38th, kicking off with South Korean sensation MC Sniper, whose “Better Than Yesterday” features Korea’s poetic prodigies.  Hold your breath for Outsider… you’ll both need it.

There’s a track from up-and-coming hip hop sensation Snakes,* a slam from the lovely lady Lalibela, and a show-closing musical massage by DC’s very own Backyard Band.

We’re also proud to present the CollegeHumor Battle Rap starring In the Heights prodigy Lin-Manuel Miranda, along with relevant commentary from a few less-than-recognizable media speaks.

The rest unfolds serenely, interwoven throughout our studio banter:
Comedy.  News.  Politics.  Community Organizing.  Trust.

Word to the Lady Michelle.
