The 2018 Cartoons-on-the-Radio Mash-up!  God Help the Queen!

It’s become a tradition at the WGTD Radio Theater over the last few years that the theme of the annual Cartoons-on the-Radio Mash-up revolves around a personality in the news. They have had shows focused on Kim Jong-Un, Vladimir Putin, and Donald Trump. In 2018, the WGTD Radio Theater featured shows about World War 2 and no one would be better to celebrate but the one current world leader who actually served during the war and the longest reigning monarch, Queen Elizabeth II.

Rocky and Bullwinkle will be hosting her in Frostbite Falls in spite of the antics of Boris and Natasha. Dudley Do-Right will be patrolling the far reaches of the queen’s Dominion of Canada as she plans to visit to Quebec. Yogi Bear thinks her purse might have something better in it than the usual pic-a-nic baskets. Bugs Bunny, well, he’s eating carrots right out the Queen’s garden and it’s Elmer Fudd’s job to stop him.

The 2016 Cartoons-on-the-Radio Mash-up! We're PUTIN on a Show!

For the 2015 annual “Cartoon Shows on the Radio,” the writing team of Steve Brown and Mike Ullstrup took on North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un.  For 2016, they bump it up ten notches!

In this show, Brown and Ullstrup turn their sights on the “ever so evil” Russian dictator, Vladimir Putin.  And yes, he will be riding his horse shirtless, even in the dead of winter up in Frostbite Falls, Minnesota, and up in the cold tundra of Canada, while he is being tracked down by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.
 
The cartoons that are showcased are: “Rocky and Bullwinkle,” “Yogi Bear,” “Mr. Peabody and Sherman,” “Snagglepuss,” “Dudley DoRight,” and “Foghorn Leghorn.”  President Putin will be trying to build a Ritz Hotel in each of the episodes which blends perfectly into the overall theme of...“PUTIN on the RITZ!”

The 2015 Cartoons-on-the-Radio Mash-up! Yes, We're Going There!

Yes, the WGTD Radio Theater is going there!  The big event in December, 2014 was the blatant attack by the evil communists of North Korea on that most beloved of American industries -- movies!  To support our artistic brothers and sisters in the film industry, the WGTD Radio Theater and the 91.1 Players launch their own counter-attack on the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea! Kim Jong-Un -- you are toast!  Can Rocky and Bullwinkle thwart Boris and Natasha's plan to deliver a top secret mineral to North Korea?  Can Mr. Peabody and Sherman stop North Korea from conquering the entire Eastern Hemisphere -- on a technicality? Can it be that Kim Jong-Un is stealing pic-a-nic baskets?  That's Yogi Bear's job!  Can Dudley Do-Right stop that dastardly Snidely Whiplash from helping the North Koreans invade fair Canada?  The fiend!  Can Auggie Doggie and Doggie Daddy free captive canines from their fate in North Korea? Do your patriotic duty and listen to this show!

A Tribute to Mary Tyler Moore!  Turning the World On with HER Smile!  (Broadcast Date: June 24, 2017)

Mary Tyler Moore is best known for her television roles as “Laura Petrie” on the 1960’s sit-com, “The Dick Van Dyck Show,” and then in the 1970’s on her very own “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” where she played Mary Richards, associate television news producer of that fictitious Minneapolis TV Station, WJM. The June 24, 2017 live broadcast featured brand new scripts in a “mash-up” of both “The Dick Van Dyck Show” and “The Mary Tyler Moore Show” with a very interesting “twist” at the end of the show. Also returning to our WGTD Radio Theater broadcast line-up for this show is “It’s the Professor” with our usual cast of funny and off-the wall retirees living down in Florida at Boca del Rio, Phase 3.
