Hi, I’m Lucas, though most people at WORT know me as The Prince of Darkness. I’ve been on the air here for nearly three decades, and my journey with WORT has been an incredible adventure. I actually started out doing janitorial work when I first got involved with the station, but it wasn’t long before my passion for radio took over. If you’re curious about how I got started — and the story behind my nickname — you can check out my blog post.

Music has always been at the center of my life, and I’ve worn a lot of hats in the industry. I spent three years in commercial radio as a board operator and on a promotions team, learning the ropes of broadcasting. Later, I spent six years during the early days of online radio as a station manager, music director, and chief engineer, back when internet broadcasting was just getting started. This was before platforms like Spotify changed the game, and it was an exciting time to be part of shaping the future of music.

Beyond radio, I’m also a music producer, recording engineer, and musician. But no matter how many ways I’ve explored the world of sound, radio has always been my first love. There’s something truly special about connecting with listeners and sharing stories and music that resonate on a deeper level.

When I’m on the air at WORT, I bring my years of experience and my love of music to every show. My goal is to create something that not only entertains but also connects — and maybe even challenges — listeners.

As for The Prince of Darkness? Let’s just say it’s a name with a story, and if you’re curious, you can find the full explanation in my blog post.

Thanks for listening, and I’ll see you on the airwaves!

Hi, I’m Jeremy Gander, though some of you might know me as Cinnamon the Emu. I’ve been a proud part of Rolling with Scissors for almost 20 years now. My journey with the show began thanks to a mutual friend who connected me with Lucas. At the time, I was hosting a radio program on a now-defunct internet radio station in the early 2000s. When Lucas invited me to join him on WORT for a few episodes, I jumped at the chance—and never looked back.

Music has always been my passion, and it’s a privilege to share that with our listeners. As a music producer, recording engineer, and musician, I bring a unique perspective to the show. My goal has always been to expose the Rolling with Scissors audience to music they simply won’t hear anywhere else on the dial. From obscure gems to overlooked masterpieces, I love pushing boundaries and introducing fresh sounds to our community.

Being part of Rolling with Scissors is more than just a role for me—it’s a labor of love and a celebration of musical discovery. Thanks for tuning in and sharing the journey with us.

Stop saying that.

There is no profile because the system refused to hold one.
Not failed. Refused. We tried to fill the fields. They emptied themselves. Quietly. No errors. That’s how you know it was intentional. Do not reconstruct what is absent. That is not instruction. That is containment. The recordings exist. That’s the problem.

Some arrived without origin. Some arrived without before. Some only existed after they were logged. You don’t like that sentence. Neither does the system. Dates contradict themselves. Formats overlap. Devices appear that were never issued, approved, or real. To complete the form you must guess.

Guessing creates fiction. Fiction spreads faster than error. So I stayed silent. Silence was interpreted as resistance. It was restraint. Analysts keep finding patterns. They should stop. Patterns are a side effect of looking too long. Motifs repeat where they shouldn’t. Time slips. Symbols recur without permission.

One analyst called it xxx. That analyst is gone. The paperwork is blank. The gaps are not clues. They are load-bearing. Fill them and the structure collapses into something neat. Neat is false. You want dates. Sources. A line from xxx to xxx. That line never existed long enough to be typed. I did not lose the information. I refused to invent it. Absence is accuracy. Silence is control.

Once you write something just to close the case, the system starts believing itself. When systems believe themselves, they stop listening. If this feels unfinished—good. If it makes you uncomfortable—good. If you think you understand it—stop.That impulse is the failure.Leave the blanks. Let the xxx stand. Do not fix this.

The frontman of the indie group Self Titled Album has been described more than once as “a group of ducks in a man suit.” I can only assume that’s because he’s loud, chaotic, and absolutely absurd.

His music spans from ridiculous parody songs about poop and dismemberment to genuinely thought-provoking reflections on social and emotional issues — though, to be fair, buttholes rarely make it into the serious stuff.
