What happened to Aster?
Twelve-year-old superfan Lexi Bird knows what nobody else will admit: Aster, a world-famous pop star, is in trouble.
Aster has always hidden codes in her work—easter eggs in songs, symbols in videos, secret patterns only true fans catch. When she vanishes before a big concert, Lexi strings those fragments into something bigger, darker, and more dangerous than anyone expects.
Her family wants her safe. Aster’s team wants her quiet. But Lexi is convinced Aster left clues for fans like her—and if she doesn’t follow the tracks, no one will.
Radio Violence is a six-part fictional mystery where fandom is a matter of fatality. Each episode blends immersive audio drama with original songs containing clues. The deeper Lexi goes, the closer she gets to a truth that could silence her forever.
For fans of...
- The Easter eggs of Showgirls
- Stars Hollow in the South
- Conspiracies in glitter
- Girldads and girlgeniusesThe clues are in the songs. The puzzle is yours to solve.

A podcast delving into 101 more amazing songs from the 1980s that dealt with the threats posed by nuclear war.
You'll hear us discuss the biggest hits of the decade (did you even know they were about nuclear war?), songs that you might have forgotten and that need to be heard again, and songs that you may never heard.
In season 1 we discussed many of the 80s biggest songs and lesser known songs from around the world. We were joined by very special guests from the world of music and writing. In season 2, we carry on with the hits and explore some deeper cuts from some brilliant artists.
Every genre of 80s music gets a look-in: punk, new wave, funk, soul, rock, heavy rock, indie, reggae, disco. We have already covered music from Japan, Chile, South Africa, Nigeria, Europe. Who knows what lies in store this year?
We will be discussing the songs from a musical and cultural perspective. What else was happening in the world of television and literature to help paint this nuclear landscape?
With every podcast, we will update our Spotify and Apple playlist with the songs we are going to discuss. Have a listen to the tunes, and then the chat, or the chat.

Born in, but finally moved out of, the state of Maryland, DJ_SquigY0 started his Internet DJing career back in the late 90s by setting up his own server, inviting his friends to listen, then DJing for only about 2 minutes because nobody would tune in. In 2004, he got the opportunity to actually have listeners when he signed on as a regular DJ in the Lipstick FM community. Due to internal conflict, that site disbanded in 2005, and Squig continued DJing at one of the break-off sites, Ch00ns until truly finding his real home in 2006 at PARTY FM. His home evicted him in 2017, and he'd been listening to podcasts for a bit at this point, so he figured he could give that a shot as his next chapter.
