Radio Surfing: Joe Frank

One of the things I love about satellite radio is the occasional "deep dive" I take into the program content...finding things beyond my normal range of programs. I'm listening to some of the weirdest, most interesting stuff I've heard in a while...a kind of spoken word/psych exploration set to catchy music - the Joe Frank Show, on XM Sonic Theater. The official website is here; here's a description from it:

"Long-time favorites with public radio audiences, Joe Frank's programs are sometimes dark, sometimes absurdist, sometimes solo recitations, sometimes ensemble pieces performed and/or improvised by actors, sometimes voices of real people heard in real situations - whether man-in-the-street interviews or phone conversations with lovers or strangers.

All or just one of these within the span of a single hour can comprise a Joe Frank show, always presented as multi-layered soundscapes intermixed with hypnotic, rhythmic music. Tackling philosophical or spiritual questions, the programs are real and surreal timeless explorations of life, death, alienation, faith and love."

From what I've heard so far, very creepy and compelling. The host's voice is modulated through a filter that makes him sound just a touch otherworldly. Very cool.
