If you’ve heard any of our past Halloween night broadcasts, you’ll know that one of our highlights is the one-hour mix from Missy El of the Cassettes & Chocolate Milk blog and podcast.

She scours high and low for some incredibly off-beat pop songs and builds them up around a spooky theme, with her wonderful music journalism in between.

Leading up to Halloween night, we’ll be playing her past mixes every Friday and Saturday night in your time-zone.

Have you ever done something so stupid, that it’s left you completely afraid?

“GPS: Some places are best left unmapped” is an audio horror story from the land down under! Three young guys on their way to a pool party are led astray by a faulty GPS app, taking them through the backroads of the industrial west of Sydney. After losing their friend in a creepy terrace house, the two remaining boys end up somewhere much darker still, with only a bonfire light to guide them!

Originally broadcast on the Halloween Listening Party on FOTW Radio, GPS features an original synthwave soundtrack, including the music of Irving Force, Machine Gewehr & Gees Voorhees, Guy Tallo, Dance with the Dead, Dynatron, Europaweite Aussichten, Deru, Daniel Deluxe – and a creepy incidental score by Kimberly Henninger & Shawn Parke.

GPS has been released as a limited-run cassette. If you live in North America, you can get a copy through Tapehead City in New York, and AndVinyl Records in Tennesee. And if you live in Australia, it’s available from Repressed Records in Newtown.

FOTW Radio is a completely volunteer-run station. And if you’d like to support us, you can buy one of our  spooky audio stories for name your price!

We also have a high quality ‘FOTW Radio’ t-shirt (modelled here by my wonderful sister-in-law Amber) printed down under on durable ethically sourced AS Colour T-shirts.

We also support the Literacy for Life Foundation, which is an Australian Aboriginal-run charity training Aboriginal people to bring literacy to their communities, and we make a small donation each year.
