Celebrating Slapstick (Hour 1)
These are serious times we’re living in right now, which makes it that much more critical that we pause now and then to enjoy some lighter moments. Instead of every movie featuring drama and potential death, how about some old-fashioned slapstick through some modern filmmaking? We’ll talk to the producer of “Hundreds of Beavers” about how a silent movie in black and white is becoming a streaming sensation. You’d also normally hear Joe Zepecki in this hour, but he’ll join us in the 7am hour.

Tax Turmoil and Beaver Blockbuster
Pat Kreitlow fills in for Maggie today who is feeling a little under the weather. Pat dives into the fiscal chaos as Congress grapples with the expiring 2017 Trump tax cuts, which favored the wealthy and ballooned the deficit. Bobby Kogan from the Center for American Progress breaks down the GOP's plans for massive cuts to food aid and Medicaid, revealing the harsh reality behind political rhetoric about waste and fraud. On a lighter note, Pat also chats with Kurt Ravenwood, producer of 'Hundreds of Beavers,' a slapstick silent film defying Hollywood's norms and charming audiences worldwide with its indie spirit and comedic nostalgia.
