Dark Entries: Goth Radio

4/19/2025

This one was fun, and sadly, the last one for a little while. The Russell House (the home of WUSC) is undergoing renovations starting next week, so we'll be off for a month or so. We spent most of this episode debuting new releases, but I also worked in a vinyl set and was visited again by DJ Oiseau. We chatted about Star Trek, Jaws: The Revenge (my favorite bad movie), her favorite monsters of the week from Supernatural, and more. Enjoy! 

NOTE: Unfortunately, due to a technical snafu, the first part of the show wasn't recorded, so it's missing the first 3 tracks and starts about halfway into "The Hunter and the Hunted" by The Nothern Territories. So sorry!

4/12/2025 - THE WUSC SPRING FUNDRAISER

This one's one of our most anticpated shows of the year. In honor of our Spring Fundraiser, the station's usual Top 40 restrictions were lifted, so I could play anything I wanted! Not the usual spooky, gothy format, I know, but it was a special occasion. I worked in a vinyl set, some grunge, some metal, and had a great chat with DJ Oiseau of Nighthawks. She's the coolest. Dig it!
