If you're unfamiliar with The Dark Highway, it's a late-night nationally syndicated AM radio broad…

50:34

Samuel "Uncle Sam" Turner's infamous Broken Rock Massacre was hardly the beginning of Frontierville's history, but it marked the start of its modern era and cast a crooked shadow over the future generations of outlaws, renegades, dropouts, freakers, seekers, and cranks who would be drawn to its once hallowed ground. This episode is dedicated to Hec…

37:27

We scuttled our scheduled episode and decided to share a guided meditation as a balm for these difficult times.

Dorian Wood is a musician, vocalist, and experimental performer.

Melody Parker composes intricate chamber songs, and Archipelago is her imaginative debut record. It invites the listener to inhabit an otherworldly place and time, yet it evokes the familiar as much as the fantastical.

9+ y ago33:33

33:33

For the first time ever, we un-story the tale of how the internet came to be. There had to be a first time for everything, and seeing as how the internet falls under the greater category of everything, this is a first time for that. So, don't say we never do things we haven't done before.

Dear Reader, we wanted to catch you up on a few of our "precious" staff members' goings on here at THC centrale. Remember Lil' Jaffy Bozo, our Twintern?

If you are a hardcore THCer, you may have noticed that our sound quality was, shall we say, "compromised," last week. We apologize for this and have since discovered the cause of the lapse in our perfection. It was, of course, Higgenbaum. He touched a button that ruined our perfection, as usual. We've taken the precaution of wrapping Higgenbaum's h…

Since Dr. Pinkmountain is mysteriously nowhere to be found this week, we've hastily arranged a showcase featuring this nation's most cherished stand-up historians with a very special guest emcee.

33:56

Well, not exactly. You kind of have to listen to the episode to catch our wav.length. Get it? Higgenbaum doesn't. He is presently locked in the stairwell with a bucket stuck on his head. In other words, another average day for HGB. (CKO, however, is #1)
