Good, if you're still here, you're in FOR A WILD ONE tonight. 'THIS STRANGE FLESH' returns the void to body horror! We've got three new writers to our show, with stories guaranteed to make your skin crawl. In "Feeding Day" written by Jamie Lin, we follow the GRWM routine of a "feeder" on a deep space research ship called HOPE. Heading home with special cargo, the feeders are tasked with keeping the cargo happy... and fed. "Voluntary Meat" by Nick Mataragas takes us, and a school field trip, to the first carbon neutral livestock farm. Not everything is what it seems though. Finally, "Good Company" by Caitlyn Waltermire is positively drenched in Twilight Zone goodness as it details the peculiar case of Marian Caldwell... and her search for the perfect family. 

If that wasn't enough, we've got our friends BED, all the way from Berlin and Bretford Records, to lull you into unease with their blend of shoegaze dreampop. 

With a murderers row ensemble of voice actors, this episode is getting under your skin - one way or another.

On tonight's episode, we're delivering one of our most intense episodes yet. We're exploring animal slander, experimentation and exploitation. Three new stories, all centered on animals and their human oppressors. In the first segment, two sharks don't take kindly to a beach-goer's choice of prose in 'A Well-Governed Shark' by John Weagly. In the second segment, Maddy Nibble's 'Winging the Wingless' brings us the scientific logs of a mad scientist and the numerous bodies in their wake in the pursuit of godhood. Finally, an affluent estate party leads to a wild midnight ride and the lines between animal and man are blurred in 'Horse' by James Wilkinson.

PLUS! Joining us in the void as our music guest is TINY VIPERS! An indie DIY troubadour through and through, Jesy’s delicate blend of hushed vocals and guitar create piercing elegies that flow in and out of time but linger like ghosts long after. Her new album, Tormentor (2025), meditates on her experience: whether speaking directly from her soul in the title track, or observing the horrors of sensory awareness on “Breakfast,” Fortino establishes herself as a participant, observer and mediator of the paradoxes inherent in human experience.

Joined by our top-notch ensemble of performers; Jordan-Michael Whidbey, Cody Smith, Andrew Shanks,  Maddy Nibble, Helen Roundhill and Shane Regan. As well as original music by Zara and CLaudio.

Select All Delete begins the final run of episodes in our marathon Season Four! We're looking at all things synthetic; Cybernetic health assistants, digital afterlives, surveillance states in a fascist dystopia AND tonight's segment - the gig-economy hellscape that is cyberpunk Seattle.

Seattle 2059: And None of Us Saints, features the return of writer A.V. Eichenbaum to the void as they weave a tale of Leo Price, a gig-worker just eeking by on the margins of cyberpunk society. When an old acquaintance offers them a lucrative courier mission, Leo finds themselves embroiled in a high stakes game of moral intrigue, AI sentience, and a fascist police force with itchy trigger fingers. 

Featuring the voices of Chad Sommerville, Monica Domena, Matthew Rush, Mike Gilson, and Andrew Shanks + music by Zara and CLaudio.

We also got our music guest, ManWoMan, offering up a deliciously dark synth pop that perfectly matches our dystopia of choice.

We'll be back Monday, July 15th with more tales of sythetica at large. Until then, see you in the void!

What is the city council to do??? In tonight's episode, we bring a scathing satire of municipal madness in "The Banality of Eldritch Horror" written by Aaron J Shay and performed by Monica Domena. Orginial music and soundtrack by CLaudio! Aaron J Shay pulls double duty this week as our music guest with "Eldritch Forces" and Sleepy Eyes of Death returns with "Metal On My Breath".  What will become of the township? Can the occultists banish the creature from this dimension? What of the growing restlessness among the citizens? What of the town square and the many permits that went invalid due to sudden GIANT tentacle monster inhabiting it? Who will speak for the permits??

]]> On Tonight's Episode of The Ugly Radio: We've got part one of a full-length two-part sci-fi epic! Marcus Gorman returns to the Ugly Radio with "SPACE RACE 5000".

It's the 50th Annual Space Race 5000 and the whole galaxy is tuned in to watch the most dangerous race in sports. Five teams, four legs, no rules. (Okay, there are a few rules.) The winner? Fame, fortune, and commercial sponsorship deals. The losers? Shame, relegation, and possible loss of life! It's Wacky Races meets The Cannonball Run meets It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World meets Star Wars pod racing, all in a wonderful SportsCenter-like presentation.

Featuring the entire Voices of the Void Ensemble - Monica Domena, Lauren Freman, Skyler Gahley, Mike Gilson, Maddy Nibble, MaryKate Moran, Mandy Rose Nichols, Sarah Rose Nottingham, Shane Regan, Cody Smith, Zenaida Smith, Chad Sommerville, Alexandria Stevens, Jordan-Michael Whidbey, Lyam White

Plus, we've got original music by Aaron J Shay, Claudio, Bodhi Beats, and Zara.

AND! Music Guest LEMON BOY. You can find their single "Bite Me" and "Sugar Daddy" and Spotify and Apple Music. 

Title Song provided by UnknownCitizen.

With this episode, The Ugly Radio is ushering in a new format for the rest of the year. Rather than monthly anthology collections, we'll be slimming down to 1-2  segments per episode for the time being. This will be an easier workload for us, more consistent release dates for the pod, and more Ugly Radio for you. That's right, we'll be releasing new episodes weekly/bi-weekly through the end of 2021. To start off the Halloween season, we've got Jane-Rebecca Cannarella's absurd ghost story about a dead cynic/burnout who now haunts a local Wawa sandwich machine. Expertly performed by Zenaida Smith, "The Ghost in the Sandwich Machine" will make you think twice about where you get your late-night munchies. We've also got original music by CLaudio and music guest NOX NOVACULA.

We're doing things a little different for tonight's episode by featuring one writer, one actor and one musical guest. So we thought we'd bring out the big guns for this. Tonight features a cosmic rumination about a family's past and present, written by Amy Escobar ('Scary Mary and The Nightmares Nine') and performed by Seattle favorite Pilar O'Connell. How far do we go to investigate our own past? What truths do we regret to discover? What little deaths do we witness along the way? What are we willing to sever to make peace with the past?

How our actions are seen and controlled by others we trust to have our best interests at heart. What happens when that trust is taken advantage of or completely thrown out the window? What if it's by entities not even human? You know that ole saying about staring into the abyss?

Our host this episode, ALEXIS, finds herself drawn to acting outside of her protocol. Seattle favorite, Marcus Gorman brings us a terrifying escape from a suburban nightmare. Darrin Schultz takes us through a guided mediation that may have more in common with the Summersisle than finding nirvana. Plus, we've got music guests kohm and Cool Flowers!
