Beneath the East Bridge, Ken Fox waits while a blood-red sky flashes without thunder. The mud still remembers traffic; the metal ribs creak like bones. Tonight’s story: “The Pickaxe Man”—a loner who dug up his brother after a dream, and the midnight clink… clink… clink that never stopped. A clean white tooth. A voice from the mine. And the reminder that some tunnels don’t end—they practice.

This episode threads Afterlight’s ongoing signals—Red • House • Under—with rain, rebar, and a storm that won’t fall. No jump scares; slow, atmospheric dread in a post-apocalyptic radio world.

Listen for: red lightning without thunder, midnight metal, Bishop’s finds, sanctified ground that isn’t.
Content: eerie themes, suspense; no graphic gore.
Series: Standalone story set within the WPR: Afterlight universe.

If you hear midnight metal, don’t follow uphill. Tie a line to daylight.

Storme Craft returns to Wasteland Public Radio with a packed transmission: Boston’s Beacon District is reborn under the rooftop-gardening Green Coats, a Tennessee preacher claims he can “convert” zombies inside a church, and Stan Croft warns of wildfire smoke turning Northern California blood-orange. We run Community Alerts for the Railyard Sector, log an Emergency Channel rescue at a collapsed overpass, and track B’s crew as they light up a repeater in the Idaho mountains—plus a ghost signal from Canada. Keep an eye out for a rogue scavenger called “The Dentist” (molar jewelry, yeah, that guy).

Expect gritty AM/FM textures, lo-fi industrial stings, and Storme’s daylight survival tip: share route conditions and keep James on the board busy—call in with landmarks, headcount, injuries, and mobility.

Stick around after the music for a haunting story from your favorite nighttime host!

Broadcasting from an abandoned van, Ken Fox reads a Sector 3 letter: a brother came back—not zombie, just… wrong. In “The Wrong One,” Ken unpacks doppelgänger lore and the quiet ways imitation slips into our camps: faces that fit, weight that doesn’t, names spoken like they were memorized, not lived. He lays out survival checks—blink on sting, reach for the cup’s true place, listen for messy human noise, and ask the story only two people know. A scarf knotted on a branch hints at hands that remember the wrong way.

Expect analog-horror atmosphere (engine tick, transformer hum, rain on metal), grief, impostors, and that creeping question: what did we bury—and what came back wearing its face?
