First heard in May 2002, this show comes from the mind of the late Robert Jenkins (master conceptualist, guitarist and improvisor). Featuring an elaborate, high decibel feedback system, radio transmitters and an unearthly choir of voices, Phantom Empire takes radio and the Internet right out to the edge.
