N.L. appears on KRAB Radio and talks conspiracy theories, ghost stories, and Lords: Part One - By N.L. Belardes
It was just before 7am on Thursday morning. I arrived at the 106.1 KRAB Radio studios for my second appearance on the station, this time to talk conspiracy theories with three morning show DJs: Rocky Nash, Meathead and Desi. Meathead is a huge guy, intimidating at first with a giant beard and a head of tousled hair. He’s a guy with a gruff radio voice, not one you want to mess with on the radio or in a dark alley. Desi is just hilarious. He’s shorter, like me, with dark hair, not so silver like mine, and was unshaven—as were all of us… well, except for Rocky. I didn’t check her pits even though she was wearing a sexy cut-off shirt that showed off her tattoos…
Meathead looks like he's about to pound me with his fists.
We talked conspiracies, specifically about Lords: Part One. I broke down the novel into a story on four levels.
1) It’s a story of corrupt city officials. We all know the tale: dualistic hidden and murderous gay lives…
2) It’s a story of initiation… into what? You missed the show? I let out some big secrets…
3) It’s a story of natural forces in the Southern valley. Yes, this is a tale of not just those creepy blankets of Tule Fog, but of the Great Dust Storm of 1977 and the ensuing catastrophic rainstorms of Christmas 1977-1978.
4) It’s a story of media corruption. Big newspapers want to sell papers, and here’s a story about how a lot of papers were sold…
The subjects strayed from Lords: Part One to several rather creepy tales of ghosts. Kid ghosts, demonic lights and bumps in the night in the Oleander area where I hunted down a few apparitions; these were hunted from leads provided by a strange source who knew about the Lords’ ghosts and who supplied the audio tapes I have yet to post. We spoke briefly of pictures I snapped of some dreaded encounters with apparitions by the House of the Lords…
We then talked about Chinese tunnels and urban myths. Francis from the Blackboard Free Press threw his two cents in to tell us what he thought of the recent Tauzer murder and Ed Jagels with hunts gone awry in the 1980s… Oh there was a lot more. I hope to get a recording of the show in its entirety…
Rocky Nash, so sweet and innocent...
As a result of the show, many folks have been heading out into the Oleander area to find ghosts… do they really exist? You tell me...
