Programming Note
The production of the Radio Dispatches will pause temporarily while the full creative force of Black Mountain Press shifts into high gear on our growing film studio content published on Oscar’s YouTube channel.
This pause isn’t the end. It’s merely a redirection of energy and a recalibration of bandwidth.
The margins are still alive. Viewer demand is just pushing them more visual for the moment. We will sprinkle in Radio shows periodically as time allows.
Please enjoy the current episode above and the archived episodes below — each one recorded live, with no script and no net. Follow the project or check back here soon for new drops when the radio fires up again.

About the Show
From The Margins is a story-driven radio broadcast blending music, memoir, and reflection. The show is recorded live from the outer rim of civilization where the jungles of Thailand, Cambodia, and Laos blur into each other like a wet watercolor bleeding past its own borders. Think, Dom Pradit.
Each episode includes:
Curated music ranging from obscure B-sides to deep-catalog classics
Radio-theater storytelling based on mostly real experiences and characters from the book
Lived-in commentary on culture, identity, survival, and legacy
Immersive field audio carried by natural ambient sound from village life
This show exists in the space between a podcast, a music discovery hour, and an audio diary from the periphery.
It’s recorded from an open-air, stilt-house studio where red-dust roads stretch toward the border, and roosters bicker with the sunrise long before morning officially arrives.
And that ambient audio? It’s part of every broadcast — not as background, but as a testament to the place the signal is actually coming from.
If you want radio that feels real, conversations that feels lived in, with music pulled from the deep corners of an archive built over decades of life lived, you have arrived. This is it.
If it resonates, follow along, share, and help cement the legacy.
