Campground Pirate Radio
– The Archives –
Campground Pirate Radio, a podcast that made waves starting in 2010, captivated listeners for a memorable 65-show run. Hosted by the irrepressible Uncle Waldo, the show broadcasted from “…his gun turret, high atop Rancho Del Waldo, in the great southwestern wastelands.” Uncle Waldo, a self-described cigar-chomping, skirt-chasing loudmouth with a passion for good cigars, good food and good music, infused the show with his larger-than-life personality. His bold and brash style, combined with a keen ear for underground sounds, made Campground Pirate Radio a haven for those craving something beyond the mainstream.
The podcast’s heart and soul lay in its eclectic mix of rock ‘n’ roll, punk, surf, rockabilly, and psychobilly, showcasing music from unknown, unsigned, or forgotten bands. Uncle Waldo’s enthusiasm for these genres was palpable as he tirelessly encouraged bands to submit their tracks for consideration with his trademark caveat: “Don’t suck.” This no-nonsense approach resonated with a dedicated audience, who tuned in eagerly to discover new and exciting music. Campground Pirate Radio wasn’t just a podcast; it was a rebellious, raucous celebration of the raw and the real, delivered with Uncle Waldo’s inimitable flair.
Yeah, I was getting my feet wet, but who are we kidding…
they sucked.
