April First; Trickster and Fool

...In honor of April Fools Day, our theme this week is: The Trickster and Fool.  We'll take a look at the history of April Fools Day, as well as the Role that the Fool and the Trickster play in Earth-Based religious practices.

Also, a quick look at some of the best known hoaxes in the history of the Western World (well, sort of, anyway)

And we'll hear some foolishness from today's Modern Trickster, Russell Brand.  The English actor and commedian has, in my opinion, grown as a political/social commentator.  Like the Trickster, he looks for ways to turn normal preconceptions on their heads!

Hope you enjoy the show!

Some of the music you'll hear on this weeks show include: The Buzzcocks: "I Believe"; Johnny Winter: "Be Careful With A Fool"; Bowowow: Chijuajua"; The B-52-s: Private Idaho"; The Beatles: "Only a Northern Song"  and more.
