24 May 2015: Wolves, Monsters and Monsters’ Wives or How I Learned to Hold It In (No Recording)

Today, on What’s This Called?, we will learn. We will learn in both ears. Separately and together, we will hear about monsters, wolves and and the monster’s wife who fear the wolves.

We also will be under the control of Ricardo Wang from Earth Two who brings you lessons, songs and words about experimental things.

We are hoping the satellite dishes that we fashioned from Christmas Trees and Pyrex will help with the signal when the Earths align today.

10 May 2014: Ricardo Is Two Places at Once (St. John’s Parade Report) (Retrocast)

Two separate incarnations of your host Ricardo Wang met through the simple philosophy that all times are happening simultaneously.  Ricardo Wang in the KPSU blithely spun Glenn Branca and then took a phone call from Ricardo Wang live at the St. John’s Parade in Portland’s most surreal neighborhood.  Hilarity and a good deal of distortion ensued. Try the place on Lombard.
