No, I haven't stopped. I've just been working 2 jobs to try and make up for almost a year of no income, so I've gotten lazy about posting shows. I'll try and get the backlog put up in the next week or so. Thanks for the support and your patience!

We're still live almost every Sunday from 8-10 PM PST.
 
Hi Mr Greg Bishop,

Great show Radio Misterioso:D Is there a archive of this year and last years shows? Sending best wishes from OZ. Mr Nick Refern support a crap football team:D

Cheers,
blowfish:)
 
Thanks Greg, I cant wait to hear some more from you guys. Now I know you have to make a living, but stop being so selfish, there are tons of people waiting to hear your next show :)
 
Thanks for all the support!

I don't really care what happens during the show, a long as the guests and I (and Walter of course) have a good time, and ask some questions that we don't hear elsewhere.

Recently, we've been getting gifts of beer courtesy of Radio Let's Go--the show before mine. On my old FM pirate radio show in 1998-99 I once had an idea to try doing shows while high on different drugs, but only got as far as alcohol and laughing gas. The station was 104.7 KBLT. We were busted by the FCC twice. The second time killed us. A woman named Susan Carpenter ran the station from a closet in her apartment and later wrote a book about it entitled 40 Watts From Nowhere.

I may dig some of those old shows up and post them too. They were recorded on CASSETTE TAPE! Once my guest was Rob Sterling of the Konformist.com and he brought in recordings of James Randi on his phone propositioning teenaged boys. The tape of that show may still exist.

I still do the show because it's fun. I'm glad others enjoy it too, which is a great fringe benefit. Many of you may not know that some of my main radio heroes are Long John Nebel, Jean Shepherd, and Art Bell, as well as a little-known L.A. personality named Bob Hudson, who went by the self-conferred title of "The Emperor." He would close his programs with "Get off the freeway, peasants! His Highness is coming!"
 
love radio misterioso, the intro is the bestist in podcastland. It might be all in my head, but to listeners 1000's of miles away [ in uk ] it has the romantic vibe of the likes of emmett grogan and the diggers.

please don't close the window we like to hear the police sirens going past!

thanks greg.

Ahh Jean Shepherd. The man with the name of a woman. I may be British but "A Christmas Story" is still one of my favourite films of all time. Ralphie is still a hero to me. And Darren McGavin ... a god.

And speaking of which. Check out a picture of the poster for "A Christmas Story" at the Cathode Ray Mission blog:

Yeah gods what were they thinking ... and ... really cool seeing the poster in amongst other great 80s films like ummm ... "Caged Fury", "Vigilante", "Deadly Force ... and "Frightmare" .

[Oh and we'll be waiting Greg ... we'll be waiting :D ... for the next programme to be posted ... not in a dark alley with a large axe or somesuch ... obviously]

Shepherd was named for a character in an Alexandre Dumas novel, I believe. It's the French "Jean" (zhahn.) It's almost too bad that he's known by most people for Christmas Story, which represents probably a fraction of 1% of his output.

Check out the Jean Shepherd page and podcasts for more than you'd want to know.

I do have a JEAN Shepherd album (the female country singer) that I bought just because she had the same name. Yes, I'm crazy.

I'll make the show postings a priority for next week.

Cool I shall indeed check out the Jean Shepherd stuff. He isn't at all well known in the UK, and I only accidentally fell over A Christmas Story in the mid 80s. Its one of those films they put on at 3am in the morning on Boxing day ... for no apparent reason.

Oh and it could be worse, I bought the Richard Harris Love Album once. So ... you're not that crazy really :D
 
... gotta recommend this software, Gregs posted the excellent über-round table show from a couple of weeks ago but I've heard some great shows in between thanks to Radioshift.
