Meet Horror creator and filmmaker Richard T. Wilson. We had a great chat about how filmmaking is like rock and roll and learn why he describes candy corn as the "flipping off candy." I'd say that makes him very punk rock \m/ 🤘.

When Radio UNK first came to mind, I wanted to to have a show where I could share new artists and play their songs on the air. That was hard to do with my first podcast hosting service.

I switched hosting sites and got better at editing; I found an old friend who made some amazing music: RavenF/Brutal Bastion and met a new friend who created the outro song: Jeff Hans: Let's Get Amped⚡️

The show keeps evolving...

Radio UNK * Mini-Mondays means that I will share these stories on Mondays and plan to keep them in the 10-15 or 20-30 minute range depending on topic.
There is a new Radio UNK intro song and you'll have to forgive my congestion as I am at the end of a sinus infection. 
Thank you for listening to the first episode o...
