Back by popular demand, here are the original podcasts from my Obscuro! radio program which ran on WIDR FM from January '09 to October '10. The main focus of the program was outsider music, but it expanded through its run to include private press albums, avant-garde stuff, and whatever general weirdness I could dig up.
For those interested, Forte has morphed into Bizarro Jerry's Trash Radio for this summer, and features similar music but with more focus on hip hop and lo-fi. You can catch it on WIDR FM from 11 pm to 2 am Friday nights.
