The National Lampoon Radio Hour
The Megaphone Newsreel
von
The National Lampoon Radio Hour brings the irreverent humor of National Lampoon to radio through comic sketches and satirical performances. Its comedy draws on the magazine’s sharp, often outrageous approach to American culture and everyday life.
The program is an ensemble production, using performers and voices to move among different comic situations rather than relying on a single narrator. Sketches and other satirical material give the show room to shift tone and target, with the title “The Megaphone Newsreel” suggesting a newsreel-style comic presentation.
The result is brash, unconventional comedy with a distinctly countercultural edge. Listeners can expect a lively mix of character-based humor and social satire, delivered in the loose, performance-driven spirit of the National Lampoon.
