They ask us to think of tomorrow. To take precautions. To invest our time. And we trust them because they have credentials. But what if tomorrow the task becomes the reward? What if that warm honeyed pain/pleasure grows legs and walks out the door? Will you follow? Will we all follow? -CV

A bad seed dropped by that day. Blown in by the East Wind. And faster than you could say “spit spot to bed,” the damage was done. It takes charge of your brain. Do you hear? Do you hear that sound? It sounds like Hell’s a Poppins.

Tom and Kate have the whole day off. “Let’s go to the amusement park!” says Kate. “Great idea!” says Tom. They just love roller coasters.
Uh oh! Somebody forgot to bring an extra pair of clothes. That wasn’t very smart.
Come join our heroes on the fairground of life as they learn that some times, a day at the park, isn’t really a day at the park. Metaphorically speaking. (Please note: Not Cool is rated “Yikes.” You must be this tall to take this ride.)
Enjoy! -CV

*********************
Scoop! Who can turn the world on with her smile? Brace yourself, loyal listener, for the shocking answer lies just ahead.
At great personal risk, MVRT has recently obtained the tape the Liberal Media doesn’t want you to hear — the tape that proves once and for all that conditions inside the notorious Abu Ghraib “prison” weren’t exactly the “nightmare” Cronkite and his cronies would have you “believe.” And we have the proof!
Herewith, the shocking story behind the photos — a tale told by goof-offs, steeped in hi-jinks, packed with end-to-end madcap mayhem, and all recorded in front of a live studio audience.
Warning: Not really all that surprisingly, this segment is rated “Yikes.” And I think I speak for everyone when I say how very disappointed we are to find you still here, still reading this opening text, pondering whether or not to go ahead and play the file. Shame on you. Shame! (Note: This Creep-edy™ feature is rated “Yikes.”)

*********************
Two people. A mysterious substance. Tension so thick you could cut it with a piece of cheddar — a really sharp piece of cheddar. It all adds up to a hearty stew of fear, loathing, and dairy products called The Birth of Cheese, written by kabbalist glass-bender and underground phenomenon Jolene Phelps. Watch the skies, -CV.

Welcome to the first ever official installment of Monkey Vortex Radio Theater, originally recorded way back in April of 2004. Those were heady times. Heady.
We launch with The New Sun, an example of an all-new, highly experimental genre we’ve been developing in an otherwise altogether unimpressive sector of our state-of-the-art, fusion-powered MVRT facilities.
We call this genre: “Creep-edy™.” One part comedy. One part just plain creepy. Enjoy! -CV
