About KLAM Radio

Tune in to KLAM Radio, a podcast that takes the form of a fictional radio station broadcasting out of the Fabulous Dry Arroyo Casino in sunny San Ranchito, California! Focusing on the absurdity and humor of everyday radio, KLAM Radio is an elaborate satire of contemporary radio, both commercial and public that, episode by episode, turns into a serialized melodrama of intersecting characters, grudges, and small town politics. Jonathan Goldstein, Starlee Kine, A. Martinez and other radioheads make cameos alongside comedians like Martin Starr, Aparna Nancherla, and James Adomian.
