Excerpts from an assortment of bits and radio-plays I’ve written/voiced/produced over the years, many of which have aired on New York City free-form radio stations WFMU and WKCR. The final three tracks here are cover songs performed as The Wildparty Sheiks, a hokum quartet I co-founded with fellow artist Jonathan Royce. The Sheiks performed “Keep This Coupon” for Bruce Knapp, who wrote the song for his eponymous short film (ASIFA Soundtrack Craft Award).

My first “podcast”, —long before there was such a thing. Inspired by the free-form radio stations informing the evolving musical tastes of my youth, and by a fascination with the fuzzy, ephemeral global transmissions received via shortwave radio, FRANK’S RADIO GALAXY was my 1987 “love-letter to radio,” a simulation of broadcast programming from SLIMETIME, my own fictional pirate radio station. © 1987 Frank Gresham
