pop culture – food – tech – occult

Tonight is my first show on WFMU, called “The Rampler with Frank Edward Nora”. It’s a fill-in show – but hopefully I will be back to do more!

The show is tonight (Fri., Feb. 20, 2009) from 11:00 PM to 2:00 AM (New Jersey time). If you are in the Northern NJ/NYC you can tune in to 91.1 FM. Or, listen live online at http://wfmu.org/.

Also, there will be an interactive playlist that is kind of like a chatroom, and I will be checking comments during the show. Just click on “See Playlist and Comments” from the WFMU homepage to get in, once the show has started.

(In case you missed it, this show will be archived and available to hear, both on the WFMU site and also on The Overnightscape Underground.)

UPDATE:

The Overnightscape and The Overnightscape Underground got kicked out of the iTunes Music Store. Though the feeds were working fine, a WordPress plugin I was using was blocking iTunes from accessing the feeds. I have fixed the problem and re-submitted the feeds to iTunes, so hopefully they will be back and functional soon.

I have a really bad cold and my voice is shot. So I won’t be doing any shows this weekend. But rest assured that The Overnightscape will continue.

Since the last episode of The Overnightscape, there has been a lot of new material released in The Overnightscape Underground.

I will be going live on the radio airwaves this Friday, February 20, from 11 PM to 2 AM, on WFMU, which broadcasts to New Jersey and New York City at 91.1 on the FM dial. You can listen live on the Internet at WFMU.org. The show will be called “The Rampler with Frank Edward Nora”. This is a fill-in slot – but I may be getting a weekly show this Summer. The show will be available as an archive from WFMU, and I plan on releasing it on The Overnightscape Underground as well. The show will feature segments of me walking around NYC, as well as me live in-studio.

So anyway, yes – this is probably going to be the longest delay between episodes of The Overnightscape ever – at least 3 weeks. But it shall return!!

Update 2/15/09: I did a show, so it’s only 2 weeks between shows!
