Not Really Radio Live Event
Forgive the quality, we only had one rehearsal and a cobbled together sound system. Even so, the cast did great!!
-
NRR 29 - Odd Wailing Noise
Here’s a new one, the FBCI has put out a public bounty on a cryptid! I’m Vox and you’re listening to Not Really Radio So in a move that has surprised at least one Tecumseh resident - that would be me for those keeping score at home - The Federal Bureau of Cryptid Investigation has broken their…

NRR 28 - Fish Smugglers Smacked
Talking fish? How about no! That’s right Tecumseh, the talking fish drama has reached a conclusion and that conclusion included a thermos of salinated poultry, our two FBCI agents Al and Joey, and a whole mess of Canadian geese. This is Vox and you’re listening to Not Really Radio. The details…

NRR 27 - Deer Assault Stalled
Well folks, yesterday will not be forgotten anytime soon. I’m certain that the great squirrel riot will go down in all our collective memories as a dark day for Tecumseh. On the other hand, human nature being what it is, there is also the distinct possibility no one even noticed the squirrel riot...
-
NRR 26 - The Great Squirrel Riot
Squirrels, that's the word on everybody's mind and I for one refuse to be afraid to say it. This is Vox and you're listening to Not Really Radio. If you're just rolling into town I recommend you immediately hit the brakes and proceed with caution. Just a few hours ago our beloved city experienced...
-
NRR 25 - Concern Grows Over Deer Menace
For all of you who have been following the growing deer menace in our fair city I have good news and bad news. The bad news is the Deer Whisperer has been making progress in militarizing the local deer herds of Tecumseh. The good news is tacos. If the bad news gets you down, just revisit day 12…

NRR 24 - Jason's Short Career
I gotta tell you folks, if I can’t start getting a full night’s sleep I fear I might start making poor judgment calls. This is Vox and you’re listening to Not Really Radio. I reached out to a friend of mine who - since he was the only applicant - I recently hired as my top science consultant to...
-
NRR 23 - Faith Rhodes
Did anyone else notice the odd wailing sound that filled Tecumseh last night? I for one was instilled with a sense of impending doom. This is Vox and you’re listening to Not Really Radio. There’s a lot going on in this morning’s broadcast, so as my good friend Clark Cothern II second says: Hike…
more -
NRR 22 - Akaname Akanoway
This just in, a group of really gross red cryptids with long tongues were seen being escorted out of town in the direction of what can only be the Detroit Metro airport. This is Vox and you’re listening to Not Really Radio. The Akaname are no more. That sounded ominous. They’re not dead, just…
more -
NRR 21 - Ozone Layer and Vines
I don’t know exactly what was going on, but a lot of reports have come in about a large and raucous celebration that took place over in Manchester last night. Stories are conflicting but one thing seems clear, there once was a thing in the city that filled people with a sense of impending doom…
more -
NRR 20 - Abducted!
Did anyone see a flying saucer above Burger King in the wee hours of the morning? Did anyone else see a broadcaster in bare feet and pj’s being eaten by said flying saucer? Or was that just me? This is Vox and you’re listening to Not Really Radio. Sources from inside the FBCI got a hold of me…

NRR 19 - Nona Bennett
Good News, Tecumseh! Thurgood Demeter Fowlerton the III, our local larva of the mothra variety, is currently starting a new life as the lead deforesting agent in Iron County in the Upper Peninsula. This is Vox and you’re listening to Not Really Radio Local legend Chester Chase reached out to some...
-
NRR 18 - Canada is Populated by Cryptids
The great thing about cryptids is their existence can’t be proven. Even if you have foot prints, photos, carcasses and anecdotal evidence, there is no way to establish a cryptid is real. Which of course is exactly why Canada doesn’t exist. Don’t get me wrong, timbits from Tim Horton’s are great…
more -
NRR 17 - Karen Miller
Our giant worm monster is on the move. If you’re over by the pit today, there’s a twenty foot worm in the vicinity that secret sources inside the FBCI say will eventually become a Mothra. Pictures are fine, but please leave the beast alone and don’t litter. It can’t grow up to attack Tokyo if we...
-
NRR 16 - Militant Deer
I was at the drive-through of Taco Bell yesterday waiting for my steak chalupa with no tomato and watched with no small amount of surprise as what appeared to be both Bambi and his mom cut in front of me, hollered something through the window and awkwardly hurled a ball of mud poorly fashioned in...
-
NRR 15 - Fist Fight Between Swans and Canadian Geese
Hey what happened to all swans? I finally have an answer. This is Vox and you’re listening to Not Really Radio As always, Tecumseh, I’m here to ask the tough questions that are on your mind. And I know, like myself, you’ve been wondering: What happened to all the swans? First some context. As I'm...
-
NRR 14 - Deer Whisperer
What has two thumbs and is intimidated by the idea of a deer with a howitzer and a bad attitude? I’ll give you a hint: It’s me. I have two thumbs. And I’m here to tell you, fear the deer. This is Vox the voice of Not Really Radio More on scary deer in just a minute, but first, I’ve been getting a...
-
NRR 13 - Kimberly Stephens
The Wampus Cat that lives behind Burger King has been seen in conversation with a strange antlered figure. Witnesses report they were discussing the cryptid summit taking place in the secret parking lot of the secret McDonald's. Thankfully Chester Chase is back in town and happens to speak cat so…

NRR 12 - Tacos
I want to take a moment from reporting local shenanigans to load a word for you. That word is tacos. Now maybe you already have beautiful thoughts and memories associated with that word. If so, hang on to those tight. If not, let’s dig a little deeper. Remember the happiest, best thing that ever...

NRR 11 - Talking Fish

-
NRR 10 - Josh Seames
Has anyone else noticed the increase in deer-related shenanigans lately? Recent complaints reveal the deer population of Tecumseh has taken to playing chicken with oncoming motorists, often at the last possible second thereby guaranteeing both parties lose. This is Vox and you’re listening to not...
-
NRR 9 - Dumpster Tippers
Rumor has it a new gang of cryptids has made its way into our fair city and I’m more than a little grossed out. This is Vox and you’re listening to Not Really Radio. These cryptids have come to us all the way from Japan and are called the Akaname. The name sounds cool until you find out what it...
-
NRR 8 - Julia Cifaldi
Hey did anyone else notice a deer staring through binoculars at passing traffic over by the high school this morning? I swear it had a cigarette hanging from its mouth. Someone needs to educate the deer population on the dangers of smoking, This is Vox and your listening to not really radio Well...
-
NRR 7 - What is a Cryptid?
What is that rustling in the bushes? What goes bump in the night? What ate the last ice cream sandwich? Are we in fact living with cryptids among us? This is Vox, and you’re listening to Not Really Radio. As many of you are aware, the feature presentation of the Not Really Radio event is a radio...
-
NRR 6 - Clayton Riptide

NRR 5 - FBCI

NRR 3 - Who is Chester Chase?
Chester Chase, a manly man who out manlies other men of the manly variety. I realize that sounds like I’m overselling, but you have to understand, this guy is on a whole other level. My name is Vox and you’re listening to Not Really Radio Today’s big news is about a Chester Chase sighting in our...
-
NRR 2 - No Baptisms
I have an update on those talking fish from yesterday, it seems either our ambitious little Dr. Moreau has a potty mouth or fish are just generally unpleasant, This is Vox and you’re listening to Not Really Radio Hello Tecumseh, you have places to see and people to be and I’m not looking to slow...
-
NRR 1 - What is Not Really Radio?
Have you guys heard about these talking fish that may be flooding the red mill pond soon? This is Vox, the voice of Not Really Radio coming at you from the thriving metropolis of Tecumseh, right here in the southernmost portion of America’s hi-5. A question I’ve been getting asked a lot is “Vox,...
