Offerings for the food gods during their path of orbit. The antenna blinks/winks while chewing on a bag of finely sliced eggplant, with a heaping spoonful of gorgonzola cheese.

From a spicy squash curry, to a splendiferous gluten-free pizza pie, we have come to infiltrate the airwaves with a dash of mashed potatoes on our chin.

NEW EPISODE- Epiphanies for the New Moon

STREAM OR DOWNLOAD

On breakfasting habits, self-sabotage, parrots of sinister origins, and updates to the shop. We also decided to try something slightly different for this episode. So, we chose not to include a playlist -as it's always best to experiment with new methodologies. Especially now that our Trichostema lanatum has blossomed. 

Psst the rumors are true...we're setting up our antiquarian bookshop again this summer, so stay tuned for those specific details. I didn’t choke on any juniper berries this time around, in case you’re keeping track.

NEW EPISODE- A Spring Fever Interlude

STREAM OR DOWNLOAD

A special Monday night mixtape for all you lovers out there. Harness the power of the planet Venus, before dawn eclipses amidst a hazy sky. Fill your palms with dandelions. Count the moths on the ceiling amidst the first blush of such a forenoon. Acute swelling of ants and bemused sweat, your eyes like the hum of a tiger in the warmest of honey. Radio waves cast a relentless spell, echoing off your moon roof; pseudo-Japanese pop, dreamy symphonic grooves and a melancholy dirge or two. Step out of the ashes. Sleepwalk with Japanese beetles.

The end of spring is approaching, dearest Venusians -let's set the pace for thee Aurora flavored rain-dance that's yet to grace your peripherals. Don't forget to wear yellow socks with your flip-flops, for good luck of course.

NEW EPISODE- Fluttering Into the Abyss

STREAM OR DOWNLOAD

I might have imagined to awaken on a nameless day, a long vowel converted into particles of string. Enter the Ouroboros: A limber nucleus sticks to your brow. Hands made of glass, milken gibberish. But then you ask yourself…what do precognitive dragons have in common with Dream Zoos? Where will Hey, Venus! Radio be in 500 years from now? Es klebt an deiner stirn?

Translation: for half a decade now we've been talking your neuroses off i.e. whisking you away by means of delicate tunes and absurdist monologues. That being said —it’s our 5 year anniversary!! We can’t believe it either. And, with 3k subscribers to the program, we just don’t know how to ikˈspres our nevər endiNG ˈɡradəˌto͞od. 

We hope you'll celebrate right alongside us as we reminisce on breakfast habits, flutter into the abyss, and of course we’ll conduct a multitude of literary recitations from deep within our archive. Stay until the very end for music by Zdenek Liska, Usha Mangeshkar, Dirty Projectors, Les Baxter, and other solemnly omnipresent composers. 

“…this is getting out of hand!” laughed the salamander, sunbathing beneath Cornelius’ knees.

If you take a bite before you make your wish, the spell might just enhance your capabilities for departure. Bring your measuring cup, wenn du dich traust. Tape sounds whirl in the Venusian basement. 

Episode #87 features velvety visions for euphoria hunters. You'll also need your binoculars for the arrival of the Pink Moon, as we will indeed be conducting a lunar ritual.

Ja, süßer als Wein  -join us as we explore some unusual words and reminisce about working in bookshops. Float into the abyss with palms full of honey, beneath the cosmic dust of starflower anthems. Don't believe a thing they say -we shall celebrate Zhong Yuan Jie earlier than usual this year (on Hwisprian Lane). Because we all share the same sky...dreaming of salamanders in parallel with dry tongues. An escapade nonetheless, so don’t turn that dial just yet.

Serenades by Yves Tumor, Sharam Jey & Night Talk, Blawan, Volodja Brodsky, Heatwave, and a few other haunting hymns from deep within our archive. Welcome to your Tuesday night mixtape, dear Venusians -the echo chamber is leaking. Don't forget to take notes.

NEW EPISODE- Jelly Coloured Thistles

STREAM OR DOWNLOAD

We’ve come to infiltrate the airwaves just in time for the heat-wave, and your most recent tumble into the kingdom of self-reflection. Might the day for once achieve an identity? A breach to the sun. Birth-dayee bluez and perpetual cellophane sink water? Silvery trembling leaves foaming with filigree rust brought forth premonitions (in the shape of dissolved linguistic delights). 

It’s true, most recently we’ve become re-obsessed with writer Bruno Schulz, and hope you’ll join us as we indulge in some recitations of his most profound works. We’ll also touch on updates around the shop. Prepare your senses for the upcoming whirlwind, dear Venusians, as it’s almost the season of the Taurean.

Sultry smooth tunes by Asha Bhosle, Mina, Shigeru Umebayashi, Feinberg & Greenberg, and a heavy dash of Mancini.

NEW EPISODE- Pastel Equinox Splendor

—and the wintry harbinger has eclipsed, but only softly does the equinox consume her; tales ov April's arrival: an enormous everyywhere ov the second flame. Viola puttering in the chamber "I choked on a counterfeit blueberry dipped in curry"....limitless sentiments behind the glass cathedral, displays of an autonomous plural-bird. As a clumsy world vanishes we mumble sunbeams alongside Maryam Guèbrou. Clap your hands, say meow. 

Fragmented poetry recitations highlight Margarite Stanley's windblown-petal archive, circa 1947. Tracks by Laurence Crane, John Cale, Peter Grudzien, and Mercury Rev. 

Welcome to your Wednesday night mixxtape, fellow Venusians.

NEW EPISODE- How to Kiss A Platypus

STREAM OR DOWNLOAD

Do you crave absurdist monologues while laying your eggs into the backseat of a car? Wandering ears onto the surface of a pond. A misunderstood monotreme, by chance, crosses your path. We ask ourselves next, might giving some tongue to the platypus be frightening or delightful?

Join us as we wade around the pond, confess to a few phobias, and utter an improvised prayer for the dead in a mysterious parking lot. We also answer a listener's email, regarding the process of our program's inner-workings. Swimming in circles...there's no place like home? Midnight on the windowsill.

Playlist includes tracks by Emeralds, Irma Thomas, Mayayoshi Takanaka, Gal Gracen, A. Trovajoli, and many others.

NEW EPISODE- Etymologies & Garden Allies

The anticipation of spring has begun to take shape before our very eyes. What better way to celebrate this happening, than a sneak-peek into what's been blossoming about in our little garden. But our adventure doesn't end there -we'll also dive into some unusual words from our 900 page dictionary circa 1936. So, why is it that the word caterpillar has such a lengthy definition? In what way is the goose barnacle associated with the humble buckthorn? And, what might another word be for cathedral? 

After our playful discussion, we’ll head into our usual interlude of tunes from the archive, with tracks by Blacktop, Kokoroko, Ben Webster, Mammal Hands, and excerpts from Six Songs for Invisible Gardens.
