Episode 100: 10/06/2019

This show was a milestone for us, ‘cause it was our one hundredth episode—about 95 longer than I thought it would last. We went back to the past and played the tracks we played in our first episode. We started with industrial, played some EBM, noisy industrial, and a set of death industrial tracks. In our last hour—the show was originally a two-hour program before expanding to three hours—we played a block of deathrock and post-punk tracks that were selected by Club Nevermore’s DJ Dagger Dance. (Thanks so much Charity! Your selections were great!) And we ended with some tracks selected by our friend Jason in South Carolina.

A shout out and thanks to some of the people who helped make this possible: KUHS-LP Station Manager Zac; Aaron and Todd from The Record You Need to Know About, for showing me how to record podcasts at the station; DJ Dagger Dance, for her great track selections; Mark, for hanging out and co-hosting; Ipsy, for his graphic design work; and our friends and regular listeners who include (but are not limited to): DJ D/Dark Entries: Goth Radio, Molly, Amanda and Jason, Rosa, Ashley and Bobby, Sean, and many more!
