30th Ever Radio Revue - Teenage Wasteland

We are celebrating 30 years of KZMU! On this installment of our '30th Ever Radio Revue,' we tour Teenage Wasteland with station volunteer Bruce Boyd aka DJ Hesher. His show is situated in a special moment in KZMU and in Moab's history – the early oughts. The high desert signal of Moab Community Radio was the nexus of “social” and “media” long before Facebook. Before the internet, even. Think cassettes, and scrappy desert necessity. Think punk, and a thirst, no – a need – to rock. As it turns out, actual teens in the isolated rural ‘wasteland’ responded, and the rest, as DJ Hesher reports, is history. // Show Notes: // This “Oral History of a Hesher” with DJ Hesher aka Bruce Boyd, is accompanied in this piece by vintage audio cassettes of his iconic show, the Teenage Wasteland. Featured in those clips are fellow KZMU volunteers, DJ Destroy , (Kelsey Howarth) and DeWayne Jackson of ‘The Rock Garden.' // Theme music for this show is by Noise Cake with I Love It. Music Bed is Etherica provided by Justin Marshal Elias with a piece called From the Sky. Heavy backbeats mixed by the group All Good Folks and two of their songs What the Punk, and Elephant. Produced and edited by Christy Williams Dunton. // If you have a story to share about your KZMU experience, or some vintage content to contribute to the station’s historic archive, we’d love to hear from you here at the station.
