Offbeat Tales from Another Dimension

In a perfect world, the radio would bring listeners a wider variety of strange and wonderful music. Nowadays, everything is far too commercial. Too slick. Too much of a product. Too transactional. Our goal is to find our way back to the wonders of a world of shared knowledge.

Welcome to Parallel Radio, a sporadic podcast based on content from the offbeat digital newsletter, Tedium (and whatever weird music or interesting topics we decide to cover). They're also pretty short. Think of these as bite-sized chunks of interesting stuff to start your day. Tune in every week to listen to a new episode and let our intruging and unexpected stories take your mind into another dimension!

Let's Talk About Werewolves

This is a brand new episode, specifically for Halloween. I love the Halloween season, especially the songs. Since werewolves are one of my favorite monsters, it only made sense to talk about them. There's a written version available on over at Tedium that has a few other tricks and treats to go along with it. I certainly had fun making this. You can also watch to the video version of this podcast on YouTube:
