19:20 – Vincent Price and Peter Lorre crawl out from their catacombs to disinter a trio of sleazy scary stories from the musty archives of ‘The Sleaze’. Join them to listen to three tales from the seamier side of horror: ‘The Ghost Gropers’, ‘Split Sexuality’ and ‘Flushed With Fear’.

Tremble as we uncover a disturbing new paranormal craze gripping Britain’s youth, as they try to raise the spirits of deceased and disgraced celebrity sex offenders. Will they be groped from beyond the grave?

Shudder as our paranormal agony aunt, the Reverend Leonard Fanny, advises a mad medic who seems to be in two minds over his spiritual sexuality. Can the Rev save his soul, let alone his sex life?

Recoil in horror at the story of a toilet that terrorised the occupants of an English hotel. Is there any way that the killer kazi can be tamed before it flushes in the apocalypse?

Put on your ‘ear goggles’ and enjoy this trilogy of sleazy scary stories that will make you shiver with fear and revulsion!

After a long day of grading papers and driving for dollars, I crashed out on Saturday night and slept right through my scheduled live show. But no worries, join me in the car on Sunday morning as I deliver food to the good, hung-over people of Birmingham, AL.

Later that night, sit with me outside to celebrate the milestone of what I’m choosing to believe those thousands of screaming, cigar-puffing folks were cheering on in Tuscaloosa on Saturday Night. That’s right, I finally finished “Gravity’s Rainbow”! — a book it took me 12 years – and just as many tries – to finish. I give you (what I’m sure won’t be) my final thoughts on the novel.
