Bilgemunky Radio

Bilgemunkywww.bilgemunky.com
For five glorious years, Bilgemunky Radio was a weekly two-hour broadside of pirate music. Be it rap, metal, alternative, or crusty old sea shanties, if it buckles your swash, it gets played! Bilgemunky Radio should be considered PG-13, as songs (and the host) include any number of references to rum, pillaging, or plundering.

E27: Technical Difficulties Stink

Bilgemunky Radio was again hit by technical difficulties, forcing Bilgemunky to go off the air and perform a full system restore on his computer (grumble grumble.)
