WHAT IS THE MIND’S EAR?
The Mind’s Ear is a weekly experimental radio program produced in Chicago by Ernestus Jiminy Chald. Free-form in the truest sense, and wildly transilient in form, content, and theme from one program to the next—often from one moment to the next—The Mind’s Ear is an auricular observatory of the unforeheard. Expect the truly unexpected each time you tune in.
WHEN/WHERE CAN I HEAR THE MIND’S EAR?
New programs premiere every Saturday night at 9 p.m. (PST) with an encore presentation every Sunday night at 7 p.m. (PST) on Free Radio Santa Cruz (101.3 FM).
For those outside the station’s range, you can live-stream each broadcast from anywhere in the world via the Freak Radio Live Stream (listen via VLC player) and on Radio.net (listen in your browser or on the Radio.net app).
WAZZ FM (89.7 FM) in Chicago broadcasts weekly blocks of The Mind’s Ear, unedited and uncut. Listeners outside of the station’s range can tap into the WAZZ FM Livestream by clicking here.
WPOX FM (88.3) Chicago also rebroadcasts installments of The Mind’s Ear. New programs that premiere on Free Radio Santa Cruz are rebroadcast the following week every Friday night at 7 p.m. (CST) on POX FM.

CAN WE BROADCAST SOME OF CHALD’S RADIO WORK ON OUR STATION/WEBSITE/PODCAST? CAN WE AIR ENTIRE PROGRAMS EACH WEEK ON OUR STATION? OR USE MIND’S EAR AUDIO IN OUR FILM/TV/STAGE PROJECT?
Yes! Chald encourages stations that would like to add The Mind’s Ear–or any of his radiophonic creations–to rebroadcast his work. Please note, however, that many installments of The Mind’s Ear are intended for mature audiences. If you are a licensed station interested in broadcasting The Mind’s Ear, we are happy to provide “clean” FCC-Friendly versions of most programs for affiliate stations upon request. We are also happy to provide custom station intros, IDs, and liners for our broadcast affiliates.
Chald also encourages folks who would like to use audio from his radio programs for their own projects—film, video, or live installation—to do so. You can reach out to us via the contact form if you’d like to discuss the particularities of your project.
