From January 10th, 2016--A somewhat somber show, with some upbeat sequences punctuating here and there. A collection of many mystical, artistic and journalistic voices from around the web giving prognostications for the coming year. Much commentary from various astrologers and psychics giving their predictions for the coming year. 'Predictions' literally means 'the words that come before', words which reflect the hopes, dreams and fears of the speaker(s). Think of it as imaginary pre-News. With Donald Trump remixes and work from Stallio!, Grimes, Stembreo and other sample-based artists in this - a 3-hour mix.

This is a 6-hour program looking back at the 'Best of' NCN's mixes in 2015, done on New Year's Eve, December 31st, 2015 / January 1st, 2015 and played to as much as 200 listeners, on the KFJC stream and countless more listening in on radio waves in the SF Bay Area while we brought in the New Year. Some post-production work has been done to edit this down from 7 to 6 hours, fix transitions and occasional redundancies, dead air, etc. Includes material from 'Mad or Bad', 'Man Up', 'Blurred Versions' and many, many other shows we did in 2015, including material that came out of our housing crisis as well as pieces having to do with the news events of 2015. The Midnight Hour celebration happens right before the 4hr 20 min. mark. The program includes a couple of new sets / material about Donald Trump and Bill Cosby, in the mix. This is like getting a year's worth of NCN shows in 6 hours.

A show for everyone with a father! Around the family holiday season comes a mix that was first played on 11/20/11 on Plundercast and DFM about issues that spring up between fathers and their kids (especially sons) and... a situation we can all understand: 'Daddy Issues'--who do we know who doesn't have them? Even daddies! A creative collage mix of instances in popular and not-so-popular culture in which the subject is dealt with and explored. Mutated music clips from the likes of Johnny Cash, Pink Floyd, Cat Stevens, The Nice, Harry Chapin, Linkin Park, movies like The Great Santini (1979) and A Boy's Life (1993) and remixed comedy from Kids in the Hall, George Carlin and Mr. Show and many others. Get an extra hankie for this one. One of the most moving show's we've done (IMHO).

This was originally played on the 52nd anniversary of the JFK assassination: November 22nd, 2015 to about 15 people between plundercast.net and http://dfm.nu out of Amsterdam and it was well-received. It is a bit of a 'best of' Puzzling Evidence retrospective borrowing material from the 2011 Special we did on The Puzzling Evidence Show including live mixed collages and song as well as monologues from the November 8th, 2013 Puzzling Evidence Show (which commemorated the 50th Anniversary of the assassination). Much collaged material in here about JFK as well as, sprinkled throughout, pretty much all the versions, treatments, variations and covers of 'They're Coming to Take Me Away, Ha Haa!' by Napolean XIV originally. - 3 hours.

Note--Some material in this program may be NSFW or triggering. Listener discretion advised! Webcast live, originally on October 25th, 2015 (also in the Second Life Burning Man virtual environment) a show about psychopaths, narcissists, sociopaths: Who among us can say they have not been affected? Not to worry, this program has a LOT of special information on them and advice on how to deal with and avoid them. A psychedelic audio documentary, this is a new, practical-minded, informative, deeply inspired, and one of the most worked-on and complex shows of ours in a long time... a vibrant cross-section of voices, at once musical, scholarly, historic, and artistic, concerned with psychopathy, sociopaths, narcissists, criminals, and the problem of evil in individuals, and in society at large. Is the world getting more psychopathic? Is the world run by psychopaths? And what, if anything, can we do about it? - A 3 hour mix.

Webcast originally on October 18th, 2015 to dozens of listeners--over a couple of weeks after the Umpqua Community College shooting in Oregon. A cultural commentary made up of news, clips of politicians, comedians and pundits addressing the gun issue, songs about guns, the controversy of gun control, and a digital deconstruction overall of the endemic gun problem in America which gets more ingrained with every mass shooting. This was simulcast originally in the DFM Second Life Burning Man virtual environment at the time. It has some re-worked material from Don Joyce's solo show 'Guns' on Over the Edge (Negativland's radio show) from 1994. Running throughout the show also is a dramatization of Shirley Jackson's short story 'The Lottery'. - A 3-hour mix.
