Episode 92: Tropical Barbaric Yawp

12:00pm, 4-25-2021
<< Tropicology

Today’s theme takes inspiration from a line by a profound deep thinker, and my favorite poet of all time, Walt Whitman. This is from song of myself 52, the line much ballyhooed in the film Dead Poets Society, here it comes: “I sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world.” I sound my barbaric yawp over the roofs of the world… that sounds a bit like our own XRAY FM doesn’t it? XRAY FM is all about enabling the Portland area’s barbaric yawps, and today I am making the barbaric yawp my musical theme. We will hear barbaric yawps from cowboys in Cuba, Colombia, and Brazil, and we’ll even hear some yawps from Africa at the end of the show.
