Episode Fifteen of RFC

A classic episode of Radio Free Charleston, and one of the rare cases where the show is named not after what host, Rudy Panucci, is wearing on his shirt, but instead it's named after his entire wardrobe.

With music from The Heydays (Douglas Imbrogno and Paul Calicoat) and The Appalachain Celtic Consort, and a Pentagram Flowerbox cartoon, this episode is also noted for explosions and chaos in downtown Charleston, which was inserted by Frank Panucci in post-production without Rudy Panucci's knowledge.

The original production notes follow the video. Remember, links are iffy at this point.

Production Notes for Episode 15 of RFC

February 26, 2007 by rudy panucci
Episode 15 of Radio Free Charleston, “Black and White,” is online now! This episode features an epic-length Pentagram Flowerbox, plus music from The Appalachian Celtic Consortand The Heydays.

Both our musical guests return with original compositions after performing traditional songs on their first RFC appearance. This episode has a nice acoustic feel, except for the satanic rituals, explosions and drug use. Both performances were recorded atLiveMix Studio. I host the show from Downtown Charleston.

Episode Fourteen of RFC

This is an edited version of Radio Free Charleston's 14th episode, "Spider-man Shirt." At this time, we cannot find the original version of this show. If we did, we would restore the "Pentagram Flowerbox" cartoon, but we still couldn't present the show in an unedited form. I'll tell you more about those controversies after we plop the show in here...


As it is, this show includes a terrific vintage music video for Go Van Gogh's "Shut Up, I Love You," the most-requested song on the radio incarnation of RFC, and Joe Justice's hilarious short film, "Marvel Jackass."  There's also a LAX cartoon by Frank Panucci, which took the place of Pentagram Flowerbox. Despite all the edits, it's still a very strong show.

“Pentagram Flowebox,” the story of Satan living in a trailer park, debuted in our third episode, and was included in many installments of our show until episode 20. This series was created by a former Charleston-area musician, and was brought to me by RFC Big Shot Brian Young. The former Charleston-area musician shall remain nameless by his own request. He prefers to be known as “Third Mind Incarnation.”
