Subtle Frequencies

It's 3:15 AM. You fell asleep in front of the radio again. This week's episode of Subtle Frequencies was playing in your dreams, but you can't quite remember what it was about. You're not emotionally prepared to stand up and turn off the radio, so you decide to lie there for a while and listen to whatever it is that comes on after Wind Through Trees. Content Warning: some discussion of hypothetical sword-based violence, a mummy's curse.

A group of teens is camping in the woods, just outside of The Beast's territory, as teens often do. Just as they finish setting up camp, the teens see 3 strangers approaching. One of the strangers is holding a tape recorder. All of the strangers look shaken. The strangers seem harmless enough, so the teens focus on roasting marshmallows, but they can't help but listen as the strangers speak loudly into their tape recorder. Who are these people anyway? Where did they come from? What do they want? Will we be able to learn more about these strangers in roughly one week???

Anyone else notice the impossible amount of grandpas around here lately? Where did they come from, and now that they're all here, how will we welcome them into our community? This week, Pan and beloved community center staffer, Bev, will address any questions about the many many new grandpas, or the variety of services offered at the community center. Also, we are once again experiencing what "scientists" call "island-time dilation", this time for roughly 5 minutes. We suspect it is due to the experiments of DrActivisionary. You can learn more about this particular phenomenon on her soundcloud (dractivisionary). And you can learn even more about her work on her bandcamp (also dractivisionary) or twitter (@dractivisionary ).

Today, Pan is joined by one Pam expert (Ann), and one The Beast expert (Beast Master (the one and only)) to discuss the epic combat that took place between those 2 parties, and the tragic outcome of that battle.

Is there a deeper meaning to a dream? Are dreams cryptic messages that need to be decoded? Could they be prophesies? If you die in a dream, do you die in real life? Pan has no idea. But, as luck would have it, our guest this week knows all about dreams, and she's ready to answer any and all questions you may have about them. Tonight, as you drift off to sleep, don't think of all the mistakes you've made, or all the people who hurt you in the past.

Where did these creatures come from? What do they want? What did we do to deserve this torment? This week, Pan is joined by visiting scientist Victoria Campbell (aka The Visitor) to answer these questions, and many more. She is the only one who understands the dark machinations of these mysterious creatures, and she might be the only one who can save us. Stay inside, stay safe, and maybe give us a call. One day, the cries of our invaders will fade, and a familiar voice will rise up to fill the void. So begins the legend of genesis fig.

After the tragic death of our basketball team's former mascot, Old Phillip, we are in dire need of a new mascot. As I'm sure you know, the only way to find a worthy mascot is through deadly battles. So we've constructed a bracket to pit 16 of this town's finest mascots against one another in single combat. Pan will be coming to you live with their good friends Coach Zweck, and Gritty to give you all the ringside coverage you crave. Grab some popcorn, place your bets, and get ready for an exciting evening of wholesome carnage. Tim Merriman was not able to compete in this Mascot Mayhem, due to the fact that he isn't even kind of a mascot. Not even a little bit. But his spirit was present to bring us hope when we needed it most.
