This post-election day may be an agonizing liminal nightmare for the USofA, but elsewhere around the globe people are going about their lives mercifully free of breathless news updates full of inconclusive speculations. Oh, how I envy them. Virtually no questions you want answered will be resolved tonight so when you’re ready to dislodge from the data stream, SNACKPOINT CHARLIE will be there for you — “there” being field recordings, found sound and radio from around the world. Oh, and probably some music as well.
