KOLD Isabelle Avalon Rogers

Finally! KOLD Episode 5 is here, bringing Season 1 to a close. Eleanor controls her controlling behavior.  The surprising conclusion to The Amazing Adventures of Brock and Sonya involves a lot of Segways, Ultraball, and a little emotional wreckage. Brock and Sonya's romance leaps off the page. Somehow, James Taylor involves himself in the workings of the station. But will all this be in sync with the beat of Mary's heart? 

KOLD is written, mixed, and directed by Isabelle Rogers, with tech support by Tim Rogers and music by Val Haynes. Season 2 will return in the next months! The cast for this episode is: 
Scott Barkhurst as Joe
Bill Furtick as Conall Kaleo
Tray Hammond as Beibo Suncloud
Pamela Lehan-Siegel as Mary
Emma Paulini as Poppy Valley
Isabelle Rogers as Narrator/Petunia Stonebury

In this holiday episode, Poppy spends December 24th, one of the least scientific days of the year, alone at KOLD Radio broadcasting her show "No More Pseudoscience With Poppy". Will she spend the whole night encased in doubt and gloom? Will her heart grow a few sizes? No matter what happens, you, dear listener, will certainly learn more than you had bargained for about the scientific truths of mistletoe and Santa's reindeer. Don't miss the original holiday carol in this episode!

In this extra long episode... Conall gets inspired, Poppy and Beibo listen to a Soppy Romance Mix, Eleanor reminds us that four people do not fit on a Segway, Walt puts on a desperate puppet show, Joe decides to take action, and Mary goes to the mall. The saga of Brock and Sonya is taken over by Phil Merlot, a PI who's embarrassed of his real job at Lenora's Lovely Life Insurance, and matters go from bad to worse when they're met with unexpected guests from Merlot's past. The musical arena gets exciting as Walt (!) performs his original jingle "There's Something About Tattoos",  Joe sings "Me Ould Segotia", and at the end there's a musical cover surprise.

In this episode... Walt gets a little too creative with a mini-fridge, Poppy and Beibo become accomplices, Petunia changes her voice, and Eleanor totally doesn't have a panic attack. The saga of Brock and Sonya goes off the wall, featuring Mechagodzilla and the greatest terror Brock Austin has ever faced. Plus: the fans perform "Ear-Trumpet Zone" and Mary performs the traditional "Let No Man Steal Your Thyme".
