Season 03 - Episode 17 - The Signal is Still Alive!

Season 03, Episode 17 finds Mad Ghoul Radio returning to the basement after a difficult stretch, with an episode built around memory, loss, discovery, and the strange comfort of music that seems to exist somewhere outside of time. DJ Robb talks briefly about the unreleased Episode 16, the launch of the new Mad Ghoul Sessions interview series, the arrival of a new show intro from horror icon Danielle Harris, and the slow construction of a permanent Mad Ghoul Radio studio.From there, the episode moves through hypnotic world music, psychedelic grooves, unsettling electronic sounds, cinematic instrumentals, and music that feels equally at home in a ritual, a nightmare, or a late-night drive. There are new discoveries, a look at an upcoming release from Phantom Lightkeeper, and several moments dedicated to artists and horror figures we’ve recently lost, including a personal tribute to Phantasm legend Reggie Bannister.It’s also one of the more personal episodes of Mad Ghoul Radio. Robb reflects on losing his sister and father, the long gaps between recent shows, and the listeners who continued to stick around through all of it. But this isn’t an episode about stopping. It’s about finding the signal again, getting inspired, rebuilding the studio, and remembering why Mad Ghoul Radio existed in the first place: to dig through the stacks, find something strange, and pass it along.The night eventually winds down the way it should—with Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross guiding the signal back into the dark.
