    Episode 7 (((Operation Mayhem)))

    The wheels finally come off the goddamn wagon. DJ Sleazy T, Satan, and the Evil AI Robot are back digging through a radioactive pile of filthy 45s when Dr. Schlock-n-dock crawls out of whatever sewer he’s been hiding in to reclaim his creation. There’s betrayal, kidnapping, murder, resurrection, Satan doing Satan shit, and enough rock ’n’ roll to turn a church basement into a crime scene. By the end, Sleazy T is dead, alive again, and communicating with his kidnapped robot through songs and f****d up dreams. Song Listing 1. Ted Jarrett & Band -  Let's Twist Slow & Easy  (Spar) 2.

    Episode 6 (((Style)))

    Episode Six is all about STYLE, not fashion, not trends, but the real thing: presence, taste, and knowing exactly when to let the music speak. DJ Sleazy T is joined by his co-hosts Satan (smug as ever) and the Evil AI Playlist Robot (glitching, spiraling, and possibly dealing with a minor substance issue) as they dig into the greasy mystery of what makes someone truly have it. Expect trashy R&B, soul stompers, ass shakers from beyond the moon, late-night philosophy, and Born Bad chaos in its purest form. Because style isn’t about being liked… It’s about the needle dropping and the room listening. The Songs 1. Young Jessie - Shuffle In The Gravel ((ACTO Records)) 2.

    Sleazy T & His Basement Dwelling Bad Boys

    The Sleazlings have spoken and we have answered… But what were they even asking? Great question. We genuinely have no idea. First came Episode 5: Songs of Satan, Death, Tragedy & Other Bad Stuff, a little masterpiece that basically conquered the planet. Then came the miracle nobody saw coming: Sleazy T & His Basement Dwelling Bad Boys’ hit single, the one that somehow saved the world from the dark shadows of a global economic wasteland. Yes, a single did that. We don’t make the rules. Naturally, after all that, everyone started begging for an easier way to hear it all at the flick or click of a button. So we caved. We handed it over. Enjoy it, you glorious disasters. CLICK THE LINKTREE LINK AND GO FIND IT… pass it around 🚨🦇🚨 Contact: bornbadradio@gmail.com

    Episode 5 (((Songs Of Satan, Death, Tragedy & Other Bad Stuff)))

    Hold onto your britches, sinners,  DJ Sleazy T’s traded in his soul for a steel guitar and a one way ticket straight to Hell’s Honky Tonk. This month we got another all vinyl wigout with the Devil himself behind the turntables, picking out funeral waltzes for folks who ain’t dead yet. Born Bad Radio Episode 5: Songs of SATAN, DEATH, TRAG·E·DY & OTHER BAD STUFF. A devil with good hair, a robot with bad manners, and a kind of unseen friendship held together with bad decisions and late-night confessions. There’s no salvation to be found here. No lessons learned. Just sin on wax, smoked out gospel, outlaw hymns, and the sound of someone seeing God and not liking the look of Him. Tune in and turn it up. Mama can worry later.

    Episode 4 (((Monster Mash)))

    Born Bad Radio: Episode 4 ((Monster Mash) Broadcasting live from Dracula’s castle, DJ Sleazy T and his evil AI sidekick claw their way out of the crypt for an autism awareness Halloween special that’s got more heart than a bucket of spare body parts. The Wolfman and Chupacabra learn the hard way what happens when you mess with the wrong Mummy, and Sleazy T proves that sometimes it takes a sleazy DJ and a rude robot to do the right thing. Be kind, be a lifeline, and punch up… never punch down. 🧠🩸🎃 It’s spooky, it’s sleazy, it’s awesome, a Halloween hangover of heart, humor, and a whole lotta bad decisions done right.

    Episode 3 (((Teenage Meltdown)))

    Episode 3: Teenage Meltdown is where Born Bad Radio hits the gas and never looks back. Our slick host, DJ Sleazy T, keeps the 45s spinning like a hot rod on fire, while a bargain bin Crypt Keeper voice butts in to cackle through the carnage. Together they steer you into the story of Johnny Nogawd, a wild eyed greaser hellbent on burning Squaresville to the ground after his doll dumps him. Love letters turn to death notes, malt shop milkshakes end in blood, donut chomping cops chase him through the flames of a church fire, and even the electric chair can’t shut him up. Between Sleazy T’s smug banter, the Crypt voice’s campy shrieks, and the chaos of revving engines and jukebox crashes, this episode plays like a B-movie for your ears… loud, fast, and gloriously unhinged. Tracklist: Tyrone Schmidling - You’re Gone I Left ((Norton Records))Teddy And The Rough Riders - Money And Gold ((Huron))The Ray Men - Walkin’ Down A Street Called Love - ((Diamond Records INC))Marvin Rainwater - Boo Hoo ((Warwick))Whitey Pullen - Moonshine Liquor ((Rock N Roll))Jimmy Wages - Miss Pearl ((SUN)) Charlie Feathers - Stutterin' Cindy ((Philwood))Ivan - Real Wild Child ((Coral))Del Shannon - Do You Wanna Dance?

    Episode 2 (((Mo·dus Op·e·ran·di)))

    Listen up, my filthy little sleazets, Episode 2 of Born Bad Radio has busted down the door, kicked over the furniture, and is now doing unspeakable things to your living room stereo. We’re serving a radioactive cocktail of ass-shakers, foot stompers, and the kind of chaos your therapist warned you about.

Prepare to have your ego sandblasted and your soul deep fried, one song at a time, and yes, we will be laughing at you.
