Badmonkey is one of the hosts of
The Asylum as well as his own
Jam Sessions
and
The Badmonkey Show on
ThereIsNoRadio.com. He has also worked
with former
WJFK-FM
shows
The
Hideout and
Ron
and Fez.
The Hideout
Soon after graduating from
Connecticut School of
Broadcasting, Badmonkey was hired by the school and found
himself teaching various technical radio and television classes. It
was at CSB that he met
El
Jefe, who was then working for WJFK-FM in
Washington, D.C.
doing a Saturday night show with
J-Dubs called
The Hideout. Badmonkey started doing the website
for The Hideout show and found himself spending more and more time
at WJFK. Not long after Badmonkey joined Jefe and Dubs, The Hideout
moved from the weekends to a weekday evening slot. Badmonkey
officially joined the guys as an intern for awhile. He filmed all
their stunts and edited the videos for their website. After about a
year and a half, The Hideout moved to
WTKS in
Orlando, Florida. The Hideout guys and
Badmonkey still remain good friends and occasionally Badmonkey
still contributes to their shows.
RadioBBQ
Badmonkey
started at
RadioBBQ
during his Hideout days.
Dan Wright contacted him and offered to let him
do a show on RadioBBQ. Badmonkey joined RadioBBQ and started doing
the RadioBBQ website and backing Dan up running the station. He was
involved in several shows on RadioBBQ including
The Asylum,
Solitary, and The
Triple-F Power
Hour starring
Ogre of
Ogresville.
The Asylum
Badmonkey grabbed
DizzyDog and started a 2hr Sunday night show called
The Asylum on
RadioBBQ in the
fall of 2004. The two of them continue to be the main voices of the
show but they keep hinting at rumors of bringing new people aboard.
Ogre's first appearance on RadioBBQ was as Janitor John on
The Asylum. After
Big O and Dukes were given the
Hideout's Saturday night replay slot, The Asylum moved to Saturday
nights 7-10pm. They've had some interesting guests including
"
The Osama Bin Laden Finding
Team" and
Joey
Green the
Wacky
Uses Guy
Solitary
After a few weeks of doing The
Asylum, Badmonkey and
DizzyDog decided to extend the show 3hrs just
incase. Dizzy didn't hang for the 3rd hour initially so Badmonkey
started playing punk rock and talking news/politics during that
hour. That didn't last long before Badmonkey took Solitary into an
8-10p slot Monday-Friday. That morphed into a 7-10pm slot
Mon-Wed-Fri and finally into a 5hr show on Fridays.
Jam
Sessions
Jam Sessions is a 3hr music show from 4pm-7pm where
Badmonkey digs deep into his CD collection. Evidently they don't
teach you how to pick similar music at broadcasting school. He is
constantly going from hardcore punk rock to reggae or hiphop with
nothing in between to smooth it out.
The Badmonkey Show
The Badmonkey Show airs every Friday on
ThereIsNoRadio from 7-10pm right after Jam
Sessions. Badmonkey still does some politics but has expanded into
trashing pop tarts and other media morons. It takes some turns into
[hot talk] and is entertaining enough while your waiting for
The
Indigo Kitchen or
Dan Wright Live to start.
ThereIsNoRadio
Eventually Dan Wright decided he just wanted to
do his show without having to deal with
the hassles of
actually running a radio station. Most of the
RadioBBQ DJ's transitioned into ThereIsNoRadio, a new
station run by
Badmonkey.
