ROGC: Hallowe’eny e’en special!

Ever hear the sound of DJ mummy dust blow past a microphone? or the subtle sound of cobwebs on a turntable? How about creaking, squealing headphones from beyond?

Didn’t think so – and we kept it that way. Hope you tuned in for a live mixed audio spook fix though – sounds & stories

– presented by the Royal Oakland Gramophone Company.

Ok, sometimes I really didn’t try hard enough with the themes…I mean…it was the night BEFORE Hallowe’en, so I gave you a Hallowe’en Eve show – simple formula. But unlike any unrelenting sugary references to holiday ‘boo!’ characters typical of Halloween shows, I was going for something both seasonally fun AND genuinely spooky. Plus I even played 20 seconds of Bark at the Moon.
Shut up!!! It’s my show… I can do whatever I want!
Seriously, I think this show works at any time of the year, and your iPod doesn’t even have to be black and covered in polyester cobwebs -n- candy corn.

ROGC: Church of the Lustful Frog

And the river shall bring forth frogs abundantly, which shall go up and come into thine house, and into thy bedchamber, and upon thy bed, and into the house of thy servants, and upon thy people, and into thine ovens, and into thy kneadingtroughs…and thy radio studios
Exodus 8:3

This was probably among my personal favorite shows. Mainly because its fun to think that sneaky double agent priests had always been chanting scientific latin frog names all along (Saints of Amphibia)….back when I was a good, church going tadpole…I mean ‘lad’.

Ub Radio: Black Asphalt

Whatever you do, DO NOT listen to this webcast (either live or in it’s archived form) while operating a slipping, sliding, skidding, rolling, crunching or otherwise moving vehicle…..

However, we do advocate & suggest “Black Asphalt” while wearing a pair of headphones in an easy chair placed safely on the side of highway.

Featuring full waitressing service by the lovely ladies of the Roadside Diner.

ROGC: The Radiohoof Home Repair Kit

PLAYLIST & INFO PAGE HERE!

T’was that time of the month, and there wasn’t a single Otis to be found!
But, ah! An audio telegram arrived to inform that while staying in the luxury Comfortstand executive condo, a sudden slip in the shower caused the poor guy to tumble out of the bathroom window and plunge 3 floors right onto a passing banana cart.

So, in lieu of a show WITH Fodder, presented was a show FOR Fodder – as a web radio was sure to be on just beyond the length of his full plaster leg cast -
we presented essential get well material and safety tips in the:
“Radio Hoof Home Repair Kit”

The Man of the hour WAS able to participate in the show however, by emailing his commentary to the studio as the show progressed where one of our interns (some kid named Stephen Hawking) read them live on the air.

Many thanks to the good folks who helped out with this “get well” card with your voices & words: Katyana, Splogman, Chenard Walcker, Headphoner & the Nurse, The Pill Bug, George Washington, Ninah, Das, Shirley & Spinoza (duh), Harlan, Bevin Blectum & jLesser, The Tod.

Otey says: “thanky thanky, y’all!”
