Ken Fox broadcasts from the frozen trailer park as the wasteland starts doing something worse than getting louder — it starts getting thin. After Storme’s report of a possible “second Jason,” Ken follows the thread into two new stories that don’t sit right in the mind once they’re heard. A wanderer named Lyle brings news of a flash of impossible light in the treeline… and a boy who walked out of the woods too clean, too confused, and too hungry — like something rewound wrong. Then an artifact appears that shouldn’t exist at all: a sleek, modern phone left in the snow. When it rings, the voice on the other end is casual, annoyed… and living in a world where the zombie apocalypse never happened. A world with traffic, apps, and lights that stay on. Until the line crackles — and something else tries to get in. With the Girl on Channel 77 still bleeding through old screens and winter turning coincidence into fate, Episode 24 asks the question nobody wants to answer: If the border between worlds is real… what’s the exchange rate for a normal life? ♪ Darkness Abides — “Lost and Never Truly Found”📡 Dimensional bleed & signal leaks🧟 Doppelgänger rumors❄️ Winter dread at the trailer park📼 Channel 77 anomalies Afterlight is darker.

It’s officially a weird week in the wasteland, and Storme Craft is not handling it calmly. Episode 25 delivers updates on the mysterious Christian sightings—now possibly tied to Jason himself—raising the terrifying prospect of a doppelgänger wandering Clearfield County muttering about portals, demons, and vampires. Stan reports on an impossible Texas blizzard where survivors are literally shoveling snow with frozen zombie arms, while Karen reluctantly issues community alerts involving weapons trades, radiation exposure, and her completely reasonable craving for waffles. The episode also includes a rare PSA regarding Channel 77, as sightings of The Girl in the Static increase across the wasteland. Listeners are warned not to engage, not to investigate, and definitely not to try to help—just report dates, times, and locations to the emergency line and back away slowly. Closing out the broadcast is a sobering after-music story about Las Vegas, nuclear fallout, and the brutal reality behind the rumors—reminding thrill-seekers that some places aren’t myths, just graves that haven’t finished filling in yet. ♪ Featuring music by The Bloody Benders — “Good Morning, Las Vegas”📻 Dark comedy apocalypse radio📡 Channel 77 warnings & emergency updates❄️ Blizzard madness, radiation fears, and doppelgängers🧟 Wasteland rumors that refuse to stay rumors Stay weird.

Storme Craft wakes up dangerously cheerful in the wasteland, kicking off the morning with sunshine, sarcasm, and a missing cat named Mr. Sniffles — whose safe return becomes the most wholesome manhunt of the apocalypse. Meanwhile, Stan discovers a solar-powered weed bunker blooming out of season, Mama’s legendary “Apple Pie Special” moonshine starts circulating through Harlan County, and Karen desperately tries to keep the station from collapsing into chaos. With wolves roaming Texas, solar stations needing repair, and Storme passing out at her desk mid-broadcast, Episode 24 delivers peak WPR energy: absurd survival news, found-family banter, and reminders that kindness, tradition, and very questionable brownies still matter — even at the end of the world. ♪ Featuring music by The Hollar Brothers — “Moonshine & Mary Jane” 📻 Dark comedy apocalypse radio 🐈 Missing pets, moonshine legends, and weed bunkers 🔥 Storme naps, Karen takes over, Stan gets threatened (again) Follow us everywhere at: ⁠⁠⁠⁠Wasteland Public Radio⁠⁠⁠⁠ Written, Directed & Produced by: ⁠⁠⁠⁠J.Taylor Campbell⁠⁠⁠⁠ Storme Craft: ⁠⁠⁠⁠Bree Croft⁠⁠⁠⁠ Stan Croft: ⁠⁠⁠⁠Justin Telford⁠⁠⁠⁠ Karen: ⁠⁠⁠⁠Amy Barrett⁠⁠

A snowstorm traps Ken Fox inside an abandoned trailer park, where winter quiet stirs memories better left buried. Tonight’s story follows a lone survivor who crosses what he believes is a frozen field — only to discover a lake beneath the snow, packed with hundreds of zombies suspended under the ice like insects in glass, including a waitress he once knew before the fall. As the memory deepens, Ken traces the story back to a lakeside restaurant that became a refuge during the early days of the outbreak — until winter turned escape routes into mass graves. A listener letter adds new folklore to the wasteland: pop-up soup kitchens that feed wanderers for free… and turn thieves into permanent guards. “Under the Ice” is a meditation on winter, memory, hunger, and the quiet horror of things preserved rather than destroyed — where kindness can be sacred, silence can be dangerous, and the ground beneath your feet may already be holding the dead. 🕯️ Atmospheric horror❄️ Winter survival folklore🧟 Zombies beneath frozen lakes🍲 Pop-up apocalypse kitchens📻 Afterlight transmissions from the dark♪ Darkness Abides: Field of GlassFollow Us!⁠⁠ Writer, Director & Producer: ⁠J.Taylor "Boomer" Campbell⁠ Ken Fox: ⁠Ryan Kern

Wasteland Public Radio is back in full chaos mode as Storme Craft guides listeners through another week of nightmares, rumors, and bad decisions across the wasteland. This episode features reports of a mysterious man named Christian wandering Clearfield County muttering about portals, demons, and vampires—raising more than a few comic-book red flags. In Gettysburg, snowmelt floods the streets and carries walkers straight into living communities, while whispers from Jericho, California tell of a woman in white appearing on back roads, vanishing from locked cars, and leading the curious toward burned-out homes that should be empty. With Stanley delivering grim weather warnings, Karen issuing vital community alerts (including the return of Sector 5 and a frozen-pizza-for-guns trade in Virginia Beach), and the Emergency Channel standing by, Episode 23 balances dark humor with creeping horror. The episode closes with a chilling after-music ghost story about Gettysburg’s haunted battlefields—where zombies reenact the Civil War every summer, turning history into an annual bloodbath that refuses to stay buried. 🕯️ Apocalyptic horror & dark comedy🧟 Urban legends of the wasteland📍 Clearfield County, Gettysburg & Jericho📻 Emergency Channel always listening🎵 ♪ Tonya Lee – The Woman in White If you’re still alive, congrats—you cleared another side quest.Try not to die on the way to the pizza.

The first Afterlight broadcast of the year comes from an abandoned trailer park where the calendar no longer matters and the heat still hums for reasons no one can explain. Ken Fox reflects on the last New Year before the fall—when people still gathered, still counted down, and still believed time could reset itself. This episode weaves together a quiet, devastating family story, an old legend about the New Year Spirit, and a listener letter describing a highway that never ends—where mile markers reset, fireworks shimmer in the distance, and time refuses to move forward. The Last New Year is a meditative, atmospheric episode about memory, ritual, and what happens when hope stops announcing itself. No jump scares. No answers. Just wind, power lines, and the question of whether moving on requires permission. 🌑 Afterlight storytelling 🕯️ Post-apocalyptic folklore 📻 Ken Fox, alone on the mic 🛣️ Roads that won’t let go 📅 The year that never came back ♫ Darkness Abides: We Saved The Year If you’re still counting days, maybe stop at one that feels real.

Storme Craft is back after a long hiatus and absolutely not in the mood to play nice. Episode 22 of Wasteland Public Radio drops listeners straight into the chaos with zombie-fueled metal concerts in Kansas, ice-armored undead roaming a historic Boston blizzard, and disturbing reports of half-zombies haunting Pittsburgh back alleys. Featuring the return of Stanley’s brutally honest weather, Storme’s unfiltered commentary on survival, raiders, and bad ideas, plus a full community alert rundown from the Emergency Channel, this episode is peak WPR: loud, darkly funny, and unapologetically bleak. The episode closes with a behind-the-scenes story about the first time metal band Torn played live on WPR—drawing zombies by the dozens and turning the studio into a warzone of sound, fire, and early-2000s nu-metal glory. 🎸 Zombies for cover charge❄️ Blizzard-hardened undead🐈 Questionable Pittsburgh sightings📻 Emergency Channel still open🔥 Torn – Burn Another Batch You’re still not dead yet.Try to keep it that way.

WPR goes off-format for one night only: Christmas in the Wasteland, a 2025 crossover special with Raising the Dead. Storme hosts from the station’s dining room table as the crew piles in—Karen cooking, Stan getting bullied (as tradition), James being James, and Ken setting the mood like a beautiful doom poem with legs. Jason, Alice, Derek, and Frank roll in from the road, the drinks start flowing, and the “rules” are simple: zombie noises? drink. Karen scolds? drink. Storme roasts someone? drink. Jason rages out? finish it.Then the night turns: Christmas “Santas” aren’t bringing gifts… unless it’s pipe bombs. Ken tells a brutal, unforgettable 2019 Christmas tale. Storme shares the story of the year Lena forced joy back into the world—and the mug that proved some things survive the end. And when Lena finally walks through the door, she brings a fresh rescue story that earns the only toast that matters out here: family. Creator note + help request: The episode closes with a brief message breaking continuity to share a fundraiser link for Lena’s parents after a November 6, 2025 house fire.

At the edge of an abandoned service camp, Ken Fox finds a hand-pump well that shouldn’t be there—and water that reflects without light. Beneath the surface, something listens in rhythm, answering each drip with intent. The night deepens as Ken decodes the markings around the stone lip, hears his own name echo back through static water, and breaks the silence with a test that should have gone unanswered. But the well learns quickly. Through field tape and story, The Mirror Well explores what happens when reflection becomes aware—when rhythm turns into recognition. Ken closes the night with a caution: never trust the echo that chooses you. 🔷 Featuring: A mirror that remembers daylight Morse patterns beneath running water The story of a family’s haunted well that “listened different” Survival rules for reflections that think 📻 WPR: Afterlight — radio for the dark between frequencies.

(Redacted) is back on-air… and everything immediately gets louder. While Storme juggles cult rumors, coded broadcasts, and one very opinionated producer, the station reboots its Community Alerts and the wasteland listens in. Between fried inverters, haunted sheds, and mislabeled “rice,” the crew fights to stay organized—and human—on the edge of nowhere.

A padlocked shed opens. A red light blinks. The signal speaks. Ken Fox steps into a forgotten utility shed behind the station and finds a tape deck still humming—repeating four words in Morse: “I see you, Ken.” What follows is a broadcast about haunted circuitry, code that remembers names, and the danger of being heard by something that isn’t human. Through static and story, Ken recounts the legend of “The Half-Mile” repeater—a machine that learned to answer back—and the quiet rituals that keep code from learning too much. 🔴 Featuring: Morse code transmissions not sent by WPR A red light that blinks past the breaker The Half-Mile repeater and its impossible knock Survival rules for haunted machines 📻 WPR: Afterlight — where ghost signals remember more than the living.

Ken Fox investigates an abandoned supply barn where the dust remembers everything—and a TV with no power turns itself on.
