SATURDAY’S SPECIAL GUESTS: Jamie Kilstein: “Watching Jamie reminds me of why I got into comedy. It is like watching a combination of George Carlin and Bill Hicks.” - Janeane Garofalo

“Hilarious and scathing.” - Rolling Stone Magazine

“”Jamie Kilstein is a doofus.” - Glenn Beck

“There are few truly insightful, passionate and hysterically funny political comedians around, and even fewer coming out of the States. New Yorker Jamie Kilstein is a shining light probing into the murkier corners of the religious right and corrupt politics of his homeland. Funny and penetrating, he’s taken Bill Hicks’ baton and run with it.” - Time Out London

“Jamie Kilstein and Allison Kilkenny have created an important political radio show that balances humor and unreported news. At a time when media conglomerates dominate the airwaves, independent media like Citizen Radio is vital to national discourse.” -

“Comedy and music have always been instrumental in distilling the essence of political debate and social issues. In a time where artists and comedians too often shy away from that legacy, Citizen Radio is a rare gem of reason and thought-provoking dialogue. Jamie and Allison are intelligent and unapologetic agitators in a world that needs some shaking up, and I, for one, am grateful for that” – Tim McIlrath, lead singer of Rise Against

Attila Csihar: VOID OV VOICES is the solo Dark Ambient project of Budapest, based vocalist Attila Csihar. Since 1992, Attila has been the lead vocalist in the influential Norwegian band Mayhem and since 2004 he has been the permanent guest vocalist for the doom/ band O))). Csihar states the concept behind Void Ov Voice is to use “only my voice as an instrument via a loop machine and effects”; through this process Csihar creates some of the most haunting Dark atmosphere and Ritualistic chants that could likely raise the Hordes from the depths of Hell itself. His main goal with Void Ov Voices is to play live shows where the visual aspects and live experience is sure to enhance the overall effect.
