The Karmasonic Radio Network

Episode 2: “The Sponsorship Initiative.”

R. Benjamin Season 1 Episode 2

The Karmasonic Radio Network is back on the air—and now it has a sponsor. In Episode 2, the crew unveils GLOWCLOT™, a plasma-thickening beverage so mysterious it leaks its own slogans. Between trying to record their first real ad spot and navigating a haunted Studio B, the TKRN staff wrestle with paperwork, spilled noodles, and an unsettling phone call from someone who shouldn’t exist.

But this is TKRN—nothing ever stays on script. Listeners are treated to the premiere of the Department of Unlikely Scenarios, a listener-write-in segment gone off the rails (“What if language was a parasite?”), and a sudden astral infomercial about Out-of-Body Vacations. Just when the crew thinks they’re back on schedule, the station is hijacked by a seven-minute signal from The Last Frequency, plunging everyone into dead air and unanswered questions.

Corporate satire, Firesign-style chaos, and supernatural broadcast bleed-through collide as Bill Freemer’s obsession with the lost Playlist of ’68 deepens, the mysterious caller lingers, and Studio B hums with secrets. The Sponsorship Initiative cements TKRN’s weird new normal: sponsors, sketches, and signals from nowhere—all fighting for space on the same dial.
