The Halloween Listening Party on FOTW Radio

Life is a series of ups and downs, going round corners - and things that jump out and scare the crap out of you! But we get that! On The Halloween Listening Party on FOTW Radio

If there is anything you want to hear or see more on The Halloween Listening Party on FOTW Radio this Spooky Season, please let me know. I try and make it as much as possible for the listeners - and all the song requests and tracks sent in from indie Halloween musicians is what makes it worthwhile. My goal is to make it more and more transparent as a radio station, so people can see the inner workings of it a little bit - and that it doesn't seem just like an automated playlist (although I do have a 👻 co-broadcaster who helps me, when I'm not around, and who is sometimes a much better DJ than me!) I also have a Youtube page now, where I will also put up videos related to the radio streams and broadcasts, and that's my way of expanding the radio stream out a little bit to capture a few visual elements. Thanks for reading! IJ.

For about six years, in between editing podcasts for a job, I would often go on Quora and answer questions. Now, every now and then a person likes an old post, and I get notified to see and read it again. I was quite surprised that I had suggested The Keep (1982) as movie worth making into a TV series - but I still wholeheartedly think that! After reading the book, I thought it would make a fantastic series! https://www.quora.com/What-film-should-be-adapted-into-a-TV-series/answer/IJ-Wilson?__nsrc__=4&__snid3__=85824836853 #

Returning this Halloween night . . .

It might be our 10th Anniversary, but there is another milestone hiding in our midst: the fifth anniversary of the Cassettes & Chocolate Milk Halloween Special with Missy El as guest DJ and host.

If you haven't met Missy El before she's the enigmatic voice behind cassettesandchocolate.blogspot.com which is a fantastic music podcast and blog. She travels all over Europe from her base in London to explore and discover new and wonderful music - but she also has a home here in Oz.

Each October she slips into spooky-mode and puts together a special 1-hour mix for Halloween-night which I always feel very excited to hear!

And so leading up to Halloween night, we will regularly play her mixes from Halloween's past as part of our hour. Catch them if you can!
