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: kcrw.co/2XjBcXj

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! The Philosophy of Flying Saucers | UnFictional | KCRW kcrw.co/2Sp5TZB

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.
Today we pay tribute to Matt Holzman, a brilliant storyteller, colleague and friend who died Sunday after a battle with cancer. (thread)

This is one of my favorite podcasts -- fans of Love & Radio, Transom, and other radio doc podcasts, you owe it to yourself to give it a listen.
ICYMI – we spent months exploring perception from all angles, and now you can binge listen to the result! Find the whole season at kcrw.com/unfictional, or on @ApplePodcasts. ✨

At the march she met a group who call themselves the Struggalos, whose activism is inspired by Insane Clown Posse's anti-racist lyrics. Hear the whole story about Carla's peek into Juggalo culture and why she still listens to ICP years later: nitter.gq/cards/5qjo…

Enriqueta Martí was a witch who roamed the streets of 20th Century Barcelona collecting bones and kidnapping children. Except, of course, she wasn’t. Listen to her story in a new episode of @UnFictional:

My wife @LChoochTrain made a pretty great piece of radio for @kcrw’s @UnFictional. I think you’ll like it, and it’s perfect for Valentine’s Day - kcrw.com/culture/shows/unfic… (and now we have complimentary Valentine’s Day radio pieces, hah)
