JOE FRANK - THE VOICE IN YOUR HEAD (230-hour body of work reair)
If you are not familiar with his amazing legacy of radio programs, let me recap. Joe Frank was on the radio for decades starting in NYC on WBAI in the 1970s, then NPR, and ended his career on KCRW in Los Angeles with his death in 2018. I don’t think anyone created "Theatre Of The Mind" radio to his level. He invented and then perfected his own genre of radio monologue/dialogue. Each show is a journey that is sometimes surreal, sometimes comic, sometimes harrowing, and always mesmerizing. His impact on listeners is deep and most fans can remember their first Joe Frank show. David Sedaris, Ira Glass (his first paid radio job was engineering for Joe), and Harry Shearer are all big fans.
Tune in Saturday, 8 - 9 PM, and rebroadcast Sunday, 10 -11 PM EST
With permission from the Joe Frank estate.
