Koch is joined by a special guest each episode to talk about a favorite monster movie; favorite classic actor, actress, or director; or a topic relevant to monster kids of all ages. Framed by mostly-spooky surf music, every episode of Monster Kid Radio is your weekly escape to the monster kid playground.

  • Scheduling Update
    Based on some of the posts I've seen on various social media sites, it seems as if a lot of our listeners are dealing with a case of the Christmas Cruds. Unfortunately, whatever is going around this holiday season has sidelined Beth, which means the scheduled The Phantom Carriage episode is being postponed a week. However, there will still be an episode this week. Stay tuned for Bride of Monster Kid Radio Episode #006 featuring a recording of a Q&A session from a recent Monster Bash convention, courtesy of listener Mike R., plus Mark Matzke's Beta Capsule Review (Ultraman Ace), and even some Listener Feedback! (We're planning for Beth's return next week. Stay tuned, monster kids!)
