HEY, VENUS! RADIO ·

2025/03/26

We’ve come to infiltrate the airwaves just in time for the heat-wave, and your most recent tumble into the kingdom of self-reflection. Might the day for once achieve an identity? A breach to the sun. Birth-dayee bluez and perpetual cellophane sink water? Silvery trembling leaves foaming with filigree rust brought forth premonitions (in the shape of dissolved linguistic delights). It’s true, most recently we’ve become re-obsessed with writer Bruno Schulz, and hope you’ll join us as we in...

Viola puttering in the chamber "I choked on a counterfeit blueberry dipped in curry"....limitless sentiments behind the glass cathedral, displays of an autonomous plural-bird.

2025/02/21

The anticipation of spring has begun to take shape before our very eyes. What better way to celebrate this happening, than a sneak-peek into what's been blossoming about in our little garden. But our adventure doesn't end there -we'll also dive into some unusual words from our 900 page dictionary circa 1936. So, why is it that the word caterpillar has such a lengthy definition? In what way is the goose barnacle associated with the humble buckthorn? And, what might another word be for cathedra...
