Joe Frank




















I remember the first time I heard Joe Frank. I was working on my Masters Thesis and had an old walkman with a radio propped on the window sill next to my table tuned to KPFA. The program was a monologue in a deep almost conspiratorial voice (as if this person was speaking only to me) intercut with phone calls, voicemails, hypnotic electronic music. I loved it and tried to find it and listen to it every chance I got in those weeks. Cut to 4 years later. I am driving back from work and a Hearing Voices special on Circus is on the radio. The show features a most outrageous story by Joe Frank. I am back in his spell. I seek out his website and listen to all the free shows. You should too.

Is it the Lion Tamer story you're talking about? It looks like there are several by Joe Frank. I love the collage art, by the way!
