Episode 225: 6/4/2023
We started this show with some fresh new industrial, goth, and darkwave songs. Then we played a set of synthpop and minimal wave tracks, including some requested ones (thanks, Amanda!). We followed that with a set of goth, darkwave, and synthwave with a vague underlying summer theme. That was followed with some goth and darkwave tracks from around the world. The fifth block was a set of psychedelic-leaning post-punk, and we finished the show with a set of shoegaze tracks.
Episode 224: 5/21/2023: World Goth Day Edition
This is our 2023 World Goth Day Show, with an emphasis on world because we played goth, darkwave, post-punk, deathrock, etc. bands from all around the world, with an emphasis on lesser-known bands and a mix of recent and older tracks. Each block of the show featured bands/artists from a specific continent. (Sorry, but we left out Antarctica because we don’t know of any bands from there.) We started with Africa, then moved on to Asia, then Australia/New Zealand, and then Europe. The North American block consisted of tracks by bands/artists from Mexico, Central America, and the Caribbean. Then we wrapped up the show with a set of bands from South America.

Episode 222: 4/30/2023
We began this show with some tracks featuring the late Mark Stewart (of The Pop Group). This show happened on Walpurgisnacht, so we played three sets of goth, industrial, darkwave, post-punk, etc. tracks themed around witchcraft, magic, spells, curses, enchantment, etc; and we played a set of dark ambient tracks with the same underlying theme. Then we closed the show with a set of kosmische/krautrock and spacey noise rock.

Episode 220: 4/9/2023
We began this show with a set of new tracks. Then we played some goth, post-punk, and darkwave tracks, and a couple of Yellow Magic Orchestra songs (RIP Ryuichi Sakamoto). That was followed with a set of noisy and industrialized hip-hop tracks. The fourth block was a set of noise rock, metal, and punk tracks. The fifth set was a mix of psychedelic, krautrock, kosmische tracks. Then we wound down the show with some shoegaze, experimental, and ambient tracks.
Note: this was a pre-recorded show. I had problems with my microphone so the segues were done by Daniel, from The Uncanny Valley (i.e., the Mac OS speech synthesizer). I used this because the segues wouldn’t have been recorded otherwise.
