Our 2026 Halloween Tale

It’s Halloween week and I’m just kicking back with some liver, fava beans and a nice Chianti. So make yourself comfortable and have a listen here to our Arts Express Halloween edition with a story written by, of all people, Washington Irving–whose name by the way is the answer to the question “Who was the first president, Melvin?” “Washington, Irving.” Anyway, it’s a tale called “The Adventure of the German Student.”

Click on the small triangle or mp3 link above to hear my reading, as broadcast this week on the Arts Express radio show, heard on WBAI FM NYC and Pacifica stations across the nation.

Halloween Tale: Revolt Of The Worms!

For Halloween, something special, an homage to the old-time 1940s suspense radio series Lights Out. I wrote and produced a modern update of the Lights Out episode called “Revolt of The Worms” for the Arts Express radio program, broadcast today over WBAI FM NYC and Pacifica affiliates across the nation.

“We caution you. This story is definitely not for the timid soul. So we tell you, calmly and very sincerely, if you frighten easily, turn off your radio now. And now if you haven’t already done so, turn off your… lights now… and listen to… Revolt of the Worms.”

Starring Mary Murphy, Josh Miccio and Reggie Johnson.
