Episode 3: Teenage Meltdown is where Born Bad Radio hits the gas and never looks back. Our slick host, DJ Sleazy T, keeps the 45s spinning like a hot rod on fire, while a bargain bin Crypt Keeper voice butts in to cackle through the carnage. Together they steer you into the story of Johnny Nogawd, a wild eyed greaser hellbent on burning Squaresville to the ground after his doll dumps him. Love letters turn to death notes, malt shop milkshakes end in blood, donut chomping cops chase him through the flames of a church fire, and even the electric chair can’t shut him up. Between Sleazy T’s smug banter, the Crypt voice’s campy shrieks, and the chaos of revving engines and jukebox crashes, this episode plays like a B-movie for your ears… loud, fast, and gloriously unhinged.
