Resistance Radio -- worth a listen

https://resistanceradio.com/

It's a promotion for the Amazon TV series "The Man in the High Castle," which takes place in post-WWII America, now run by the winners of the war: the Nazis and Imperial Japan. On the show, the Resistance is fighting against the fascist and authoritarian overlords.

Although a fake radio broadcast, the mood it creates and much of its commentary is surprisingly apropos for today. The music is retro early 60s tunes prohibited by the Reich for having too much "Negro influence."

Oh, and an added bonus: On Twitter, a bunch of right-wingers, many with "Deplorable" in their name, are rage-tweeting to #ResistanceRadio about it, unaware it's all a TV promo. Hilarious!

2. It's amazing how each host has a different persona and point of view.

Earlier today was a strong black woman, and presently there's a guy trying his best to find the humor in occupation of America.
