The Prince Of Darkness 
After 15 weeks of nonstop Signal Drift chapters and weekly radio episodes, I’m taking a short break to recharge while visiting Wisconsin. Here’s why there was no post last week — and what’s next for the show and the story.
The town square outside the Viroqua Public Library buzzes with life for the first time since the collapse. As neighbors gather for a community meeting, the stakes become clear: rebuild, reconnect, or fade away. With Joy Luebke leading the charge and Cronauer revealing the return of a long-silent radio signal, the path forward starts to take shape — cautiously, but with purpose.
A stranger rolls up with diesel smoke and warnings, carrying news that might just change everything: a meeting, a familiar name, and whispers of movement on the Mississippi. For Cronauer and the crew, it’s the first step toward whatever comes next — and maybe the last chance to build something before it’s all too far gone.
Rediscovering the mind-bending magic of Liquid Tension Experiment — three albums, one night, and a reminder that sometimes the music finds you when you need it most.
The Supreme Court just handed more power to presidents, made it harder to block shady policies, told Texas to crawl up your browser history, and gave parents a free pass to pretend LGBTQ+ people don’t exist. If you’re not pissed yet, you’re not paying attention.
Cronauer didn’t remember falling asleep — again. First the dream, now this. Outside, the signal was warming up, and inside the shack, so was the fight.
This week’s Rolling with Scissors opens with Morningstar’s new single “Free” and their full album Between Your World and Mine, followed by Five Finger Death Punch, Sevendust, and Breaking Benjamin.
We sat down with Morningstar frontwoman Amber Swenor for an unfiltered conversation about their explosive new single “Free,” hitting the stage at Rock Fest 2025, and Amber’s new book Unleashed. As always, no edits, just real talk.
In the stillness of night, Cronauer is visited by a vivid dream — a rush of memory wrapped in warmth, music, and a quiet goodbye. As the past fades, he’s left with a reminder, a call sign, and a feeling he can’t shake.
Brian Wilson has passed, and this week’s Rolling with Scissors is a tribute to the genius behind some of the Beach Boys’ most profound work. From Pet Sounds to Surf’s Up, we dive deep into the sound that changed pop music forever.
