This Saturday at 15:00 on Radio WORM: Quacking Bog: Lost in the Post w/ @andy.norstrom This episode will be around the theme 'Lost in the Post', focusing on Mail Art and the 80's hope-taping cassette underground. It'll be a narrative-based show questioning the radical potential of decentralised networks of music and art making, with a selection of music and text-based work from some of my favourite weirdos.

With delight and a little trepidation, I’m excited to share that as part of the upcoming @radio.worm 25 Hour Radio Relay this Saturday 24th and Sunday 25th January, I will be live performing, together with an accompanying soundscape from @andy.norstrom an adapted first chapter of ‘Communing with the Dark’*, an experimental novel-in-(very-slow)-progress, I have been, and am currently working on.  ‘Communing with the Dark’ is set on an unnamed island, mostly inside a stranger’s home. It explores emotional transference through maternal family lines, physical, psychological, and spiritual blockages, and the roles that nature, (emotional and physical) distance, landscape, and the otherworldly can play in the processes of non-linear healing.  In preparation, Andy and I have been taking some small, local water-related field trips to catch snippets of sound and inspiration. We are excited to share the result with you this Sunday 25th during our 01.30-02.00 timeslot of the broadcast.  Hoping all late night/early birds and fellow insomniacs can join or listen in! *Working title, and indebted phrasal borrowing from Claire-Louise Bennett, Checkout 19 _______ 25 Hour Radio Relay! Radio WORM transforms radio broadcasting into an “experimental variety shop” for 25 hours of live audio. The relay features a continuous lineup of radiomakers, creatives, and Rotterdammers from all walks of life, passing the baton from one show to the next. Last year’s relay was a big success: people came down and connected with new sounds, perspectives, and fellow humans. This year, we are in our big performance space, UBIK, giving you plenty of room to sit, listen, and immerse yourself in the wide range of sound that experimental radio can offer. Expect everything from live radio plays, game shows, acoustic performances, noise sets, interviews, poetry and spoken word, improv choirs, sermons, sound art, dawn choruses, audio essays, to homemade instrument jams, all performed live for both the audience and radio listeners. 24+25 January 2026 - It’s FREE: so pop by!

☆ NEW ☆ Quaking Bog points your aerial in the direction of the shadowy undergrowth, that squelching mulch where amphibians and sludge-seekers writhe around like oiled-up tourists on sun loungers. Down here you’re likely to find all the hallmarks of a duffed up provincial high street, where mundanity and perpetually moaning inhabitants make clanking noises in protest at the desperate dullness of it all. Comprising tape clutter, murky dub FX, fragmentary text, and low-quality field recordings - this show seeks out loners who stray a bit too far out into the reeds. Tune in today at 17:00 !!

For the latest Astral Rambling, my residency on @radio.temponaopara , I invited @ahappyreturn (aka Bons, Jam Money etc etc) from the mighty Spillage Fete records to contribute a guest mix. Around the theme of ‘Domestic Psychedelia’, Mat’s contribution weaves through tender loner folk demos, ritualistic trance freakouts and neo-pastoral miniatures, all with that wistful, out-of-time quality that makes the Spillage Fete stuff so compellling. Thanks to Mat for putting it together! You can stream to your hearts content now via the TNP SoundCloud. Recommended listening for ur first al fresco tofu burger bbq of the year.
