PhÆDRx – Solo Machinations – S7 E17
Greetings, weary travellers!
The Worst Little Podcast in the World – S7 E16 – Download Link
This week we’re introducing you to a Reno musician who is off the beaten path. PhÆDRx is the project, Dennis is his name. Combining strong songwriting skills and musical styles from many eras and influences, PhÆDRx is a musical exploration of metaphysical themes. Dennis composes and writes all of these original works; what’s even more impressive is that he also plays all the parts himself, from strings to drums to synth and the ol’ mouth harp. Many of the songs you will hear on the show are acoustic versions of fully produced songs that are available on the website.
maxin’ and chillaxin’
Though soft-spoken, Dennis has an alluring voice and strong storytelling skills. Classic bait-and-switch. Enjoy the tunes and check out the sites. We hope to see PhÆDRx playing out at Reno venues soon this summer. Keep an eye out for his album “Always Look Up”, releasing later this summer.
Hope to see you all out at the shows this weekend! On the Theater Front, we have STUPID FUCKING BIRD closing it’s run at Bruka, Too Much Light Makes The Baby Go Blind at RLT and The Comedy of Errors at the Lear. On the music side, Sonic Mass at 40 Mile on Friday and the boys in One Ton Dually will be opening up for Three Rounds on Saturday.
Thanks for Listening!

Frankly Fictitious – Non-fiction Apology – S7 E15
Great Googly-Moogly!
The Worst Little Podcast – S7 E14 – Download Link
Due to an un-forseen series of technical issues, miscommunication, spinal injuries and a sheer bone-headedness, this week’s episode is unforgivably late. Reverend Rory issues his deepest apologies to Frankly Fictitious, a Reno NV rock trio. Reverend Rory promises that the person or persons responsible will be sacked and fired with real fire. (but since that ‘person or persons’ is him, it’s unlikely that he will take any action).
“I’m number one!”
Frankly Fictitious takes their inspiration from tough 70s rock and snotty punk rock, creating, well, whatever it is that they think they’re doing. A strong entry from some serious dorks. They are Kaden Barmore -Vocals/Lead Guitar, Jonathan Louis-Drums and Jason Van Havel-Bass.
Let’s do this!
SQUEE!!!!
Reverend Rory is out for his final week off this year. Nick and Rick do a recap of just how awful the wedding is and promote events that have already passed. Again, sincere apologies to the band. He owes you drinks.
Thanks For Listening.
