Episode 268: 12/1/2024

We returned after a month-long hiatus to do a live, in-studio show—our first one in over a year. The first block was a set that addressed some current affairs. The second block was an apocalyptic-themed set of goth, punk, and deathrock; and Operator OT talked about Club Nevermore and the future of the Central Arkansas goth-industrial scene. The third block was a set of darkwave, industrial, and goth tracks about treason and betrayal. The fourth and final block was a set of tracks about bad times and getting through it.
