We may have mentioned it before, but for all you night-owl radio listeners with a hankerin’ for some good old audio sf, New York’s WBAI radio will be featuring an all-night broadcast of science fiction and fantasy hosted by Hour of the Wolf producer Jim Freund, starting at 10PM EST this Friday, 30 November 2007. The first feature will be the 40th anniversary broadcast of Samuel R. Delany’s breakthrough radio drama, “The Star Pit,” followed by a broadcast of the tribute held last month in New York (see our review of the evening).
After “The Star Pit,” Freund tells us, “there will be assorted radio dramas and interviews from WBAI’s past. At 5AM (by then Saturday morning, and Hour of the Wolf‘s usual time slot,) Jim Freund will be joined live by sf great Lucius Shepard, who will read and take phone calls.”
WBAI broadcasts in New York City at 99.5 FM, and streams over the Web at stream.wbai.org. An archive of the broadcast will be available for about eight months at http://hourwolf.com.
