1:43:59 – The penultimate episode of Dashiell Hammett’s Poisonville serial is the most violent yet, and Dave in Kentucky’s accompanying A.I. songs are the most stylistically diverse yet. In addition to the usual country and bluegrass, there are three different types of swing, a jazz waltz, and even some punk rock. Enjoy!

1. Dynamite
2. Cedar Hill
3. Their Cover was Blown
4. But Then Came the Bomb
5. Gin and Vermouth
6. On the Run with Reno
7. Sick of the Killing
8. A-Hole Piggy

All songs by Dave in Kentucky and Suno.ai (v4.5).

34:58 – We’re After Hours again, where the mysterious ‘Night Caller’ is disturbing the sleep of people who didn’t even know he was listening. Who is he? Is he really from ‘Radio Midnight’, the talk station that calls you? Meanwhile, Dagenham’s top citizen journalist investigates strange goings-on at the local supermarket which could lead to the sound of Voodoo drums being heard all across England. The-Man-in-the-Pub declares war on street performers after an unfortunate encounter with a ‘living statue’, while ‘Camera Obscura’ is back, discussing an obscure bondage-themed beach movie. The WNKR late movie is previewed before we find out whether ‘Immigrants Ate My Granny!’ as political candidate claims widespread cannibalism amongst illegal immigrants.

‘After Hours’ was created using Google AI Studio, ChatGPT with sound effects and theme music by Freesound Community via Pixababy.com. Opening theme ‘Twilight Static’ and closing theme ‘Twilight Sunder’ by Doc Sleaze via Freemusic.ai.

01:46:59 — While I’m in-between producing shows or whatever, enjoy one of the random recordings I’ve been posting on my Spotify feed since the last episode of my podcast, The Midnight Citizen, back in November 2025.

On this episode, join me on another trip to Quincy, IL, where I walk along the waterfront of the Mississippi River and loiter in the parking lot of the posh local boating club. Later, I sit on the back porch of a shuttered bar close to my hotel and reflect on anything and whatever.

On this episode, join me in the midwest — first in a vacant lot overlooking the Mississippi River at dusk in small town Quincy, and later on a walk around the famous arch in St. Louis, Missouri.

3:27:03 – Middle-Eight Dream State is a series that contains longform and/or experimental material and will be released whenever seems appropriate to my weird creative impulses (okay, so it’s REALLY been a while). This episode is a field recording from our family trip to Disney World back in May. All told, I recorded almost 13 hours of material. (The rest will be released in the near future.) Epcot – 5/14/26 (0:00-1:01:11), Hollywood Studios – 5/14/26 evening (1:01:11-3:27:03). Part 1 of 4. Recorded 5/14/26 on my iPhone 13. M8D006.
