The Ugly Radio
A lo-fi, sci-fi audio theatre anthology series made for late nights and strong drinks. Welcome to the Ugly Radio, a phantom frequency broadcasting a pirate signal across time and space. Scenes, songs and frequencies from the void. A monthly audio theatre podcast featuring a rotating list of voice actors, writers, storytellers and musicians. Welcome to the Void.

Behind The Frequency - The Darwin Detail
Our 50th Episode takes us behind the scenes for our season premiere. We sit down with "Colors" writer, Anooj Bhandari and chat about breaking theatre form norms, how LOST ended, and 90s YA television. We also chat with writer Ally Lardner about her segment, "(ruby) Tuesday Night", the power of spite, and building community through the pandemic & DIY zines. Series Creator, Andrew Shanks, takes us through the viral history behind "The Darwin Detail" and, if that weren't enough, we've got an special additional anglerfish monologue from Will Stenberg as well as more music by Make Waste!
This episode was produced by Andrew Shanks
Additional music by Sleepy Eyes of Death, CLaudio, The National, bleach.bath
