In the 70s, rock radio was at its peak. Think KMET and KLOS. This is a story of L.A.'s rock radio history, and Bob Carlson's own experience when the wild fantasy became reality.
Listen to a new @UnFictional:

Radio hosts drinking whiskey & coke at 6AM, news reports from the Hollywood bowling alley, and the musical lifeblood of high school for surfers, stoners, and straight laced teens alike. This story goes inside of the height of rock radio power in L.A.

This one will take you to some very trippy places
this is a story I've been working on since the fall with @UnFictionalBob @carlaflou
It's about an old tape, subterranean aliens, and one of the first viral conspiracy theories. Plus, my friend Seth!

Listen to the story of Ove Joensen. How the rowing man and his cat were rescued from the ferocious sea and found a village full of friends in an unlikely place.
kcrw.com/culture/shows/unfic…
In 1984, Ove Joensen rowed across the treacherous North Atlantic Ocean in hopes to kiss the statue of the Little Mermaid in Copenhagen.
This is a story about finding a village full of friends even when you’re rowing alone across a ferocious sea.

One of my best friends. Matt made you forget your self-doubts and just charge forward anyway; He bossed you into doing whatever made you nervous. Then he would badger you until you felt good about yourself. Hilarious, generous and open-hearted. I’m going to miss him a lot.
Mauricio thought he’d left his dreams of television behind. And then, he met Xzibit.
