Rookie Night episodes doing squat thrusts in the Freekradio media room

"Drop and give me twenty-five." -- Coach

Freekradio's got her a warm, well-lit, and velvety new media room over here. Go have a look-see. You will find episodes of Rookie Night for easy listen under the "talk" section of the media room. Go have a look-see. A listen-see. A lot of neat stuff over there. Like an Atlantis bath-house you might go and stay for days. Or years.

Honey, you may now download podcasts of the Rookie Night radio theater!

The Dead Shirt Commoner called "A County-Wide Lost Month"

While we take a long-haired hiatus from new episodes, our good friend Freekradio is now hosting downloadable podcasts of all past episodes of Justin Stone's Rookie Night radio theater show. Click here to check out the Freekradio Podcast Archive tonight. Download and listen to episodes Rookie Night or something else. Freekradio offers a great archive of music and talk shows. Tell a friend about Rookie Night. If you and that friend listen, you'll be able to say that the two of you were listeners number 3 and 4, after my mom and Doug's cherished Aunt Konny. It is a well-heeled club. You may watch our phalanx practice maneuvers and maybe even take the beach at any 4 a.m. in the morning.

Gawd. I'll admit, I would love to have four listeners.

Know we are out here. Know Doug moves like a slightly overweight puma. Know an old dog has requested a new trick. Know work is happening and that when you hear what we have got in store you might find yourself in the state of idyllic confusion that precedes the ecstatic truth.

Episode Six, a musical interlude

Rookie Night, Episode Six, running this week at the usual times on freekradio.com, offers a little something different. A musical mix experimentation, and a short one at that. Consider it a musical interlude. But there is here some real good stuff to hear and so I recommend you tune in. There will likely be a new show in the future on freekradio in which I only play music, and this show is kind of a reach in that direction. I wondered how it would sound. And I like.

Thank you for listening. This is a strange operation, I know, with an intermittent release schedule, but even tuning in to listen to the old shows is, I think, a worthwhile endeavor, as they are thick. Repeat listens can only aid in the getting along.

Much more to come.

Episode Five, because one guy demanded it

Rookie Night, Episode Five is up and running. Stare as long as you like, it'll last longer. A relaxed gaze. This week is the county fair, and the county is fair. Come on down to Dead Shirt, "The Town That Sweats Together."

This week's episode is presented in (the still maybe unreliable) 11D. Doug has been at the drawing board, visualizing. Wear your goggles and galoshes. Wear your floppy hats. It's wet in here.

Listen to Rookie Night, Episode Five starting tonight, Sunday, August 8, at freekradio.com, 10 pm Central Standard Time. That's 8 pm on the West Coast.
