The Insanitarium

08/10/2026

Tomorrow (09-10-25), I'll be paying tribute to the best B side tracks. The tracks that were almost singles, the tracks that probably didn't make it on the albums.

From 8 until 10pm tomorrow, and remember: Friday nights are rock nights on Social Music Radio.

This Friday from 8pm, I'll be going through the alphabet of rock and metal. 26 bands with 26 songs. Starting at 8pm and I'm done when I'm done, (just like when I'm with your mum).

Join me in the chat room for shenanigans. Tomorrow evening, only on Social Music Radio.

The winner of tonight's "create a fake band name" was Imagine Flagons. That design is now available via my Redbubble. Enjoy.

In a contest I ran on my radio show (www.facebook.com/Insanitarium) for a parody band name and this name won. I created this design in response.

A Baby Fight Club
The Communists Are About to Reveal Aliens
Cops Blame Missing Ma*****na on Mice (yeah, right!)

You can hear all about these Weird News stories this week on The Insanitarium, starting at 8pm on Social Music Radio.

Get your requests and shout outs in early to avoid disappointment.

What is listening to The Insanitarium like?

Remember when magazines like Kerrang! Classic Rock Magazine Metal Hammer and Terrorizer gave away free CDs on the covers?
Remember Art Bell's weird and wonderful Coast to Coast AM?
Remember when radio was NOT corporately mandated to play certain songs?
Remember when stations had that raw, authentic feel to them?

I remember.

Tomorrow from 8pm on Social Music Radio, I play some classic hair metal.

Missed me?
I've missed you too.

To quote Arnold: "I'll be back!"

From the 11th of September, I will be returning to Social Music Rad...

13/08/2026

Some bad news: Due to personal reasons, I have to take a step back from presenting. I will keep you updated when or if I come back.

Until then: Be good- to yourselves, to each other, and to your record collection.

Party on dudes.
