i love sandra! i was wondering what happened to her... anyhoo, do any of you listen to "this Amrican Life" by Ira Glass?

Ken Nordine lighthearted.

Joe isn't.

I recently came across Walker also. He's broadcast in the SF bay area on KALW, and also has archived shows at toeradio.org

So far his work isn't as consistently engaging as Joe's material. But, that's okay. I'll take all the JF knockoffs I can get. It's still way better than most other stuff out there.

I highly recommend you give his older Your Radio Nightlight programs a try. I didn't get to them until exhausting the newer Theory of Everything series, which was a mistake. The old shows are a whole lot better. Tighter editing, better writing, more interesting subject matter, and something else which I find kind of bizarre: in the old shows Walker doesn't have the spastic, halting vocal affectation that makes his recent work so hard on the ears. It seems that he made the conscious decision to sound like sleep-deprived dope fiend reciting poetry in a foreign language. Wish he'd give it a rest. (Those who dig forcing symbolism on the world may want to draw parallels to Joe's early experiments with a compressed, bottom-heavy rumble voice.)

I particularly enjoyed Underworld and Resurrection Rashomon.

Best,
Erik

I like pulp fiction from Reporter/Fictionalist Carl Hiaasen. I read Hiaasen books every time I go on vacation, and the last time I was reading one passage and in my head it was Joe Frank reading...

His stories get rather outlandish, and have a very bizarre humour to them.

big fan.
