KMUD - Politically Correct week in Review

Since the dawn of Redwood Community Radio the Politically Correct Week in Review crew has discussed the local, national, and International news with a healthy dose of humor, history, and irreverence. The current hosts Joshua Golden and Charley Custer continue the tradition with their perspectives and analysis, and encourage callers to do the same. Joshua Golden, a homesteader, graphic artist and writer was a neighbor and colleague of the shows founder, activist Paul Encimer, working with him on the regionally distributed Greenfuse monthly newspaper since 2000. After Paul’s passing Joshua a former guest host inherited the show and invited local writer and thinker Charley Custer to join him and carry on the tradition of elucidating banter on KMUD.
