PopCult Rudy Panucci on Pop Culture

Ten Years of RFC Flashback: Episode 15

A classic episode of Radio Free Charleston, and one of the rare cases where the show is named not after what host, Rudy Panucci, is wearing on his shirt, but instead it’s named after his entire wardrobe. This is episode fifteen, from February, 2007.

With music from The Heydays (Douglas Imbrogno and Paul Calicoat) and The Appalachain Celtic Consort, and a Pentagram Flowerbox cartoon, this episode is also noted for explosions and chaos in downtown Charleston, which was inserted by Frank Panucci in post-production without Rudy Panucci’s knowledge.

Douglas Imbrogno is now part of The BrotherSisters, and Paul Calicoat is still the co-owner of Route 60 Music in Barboursville and is still performing and releasing fantastic albums. The Appalachian Celtic Consort also still perform in the area. One of the creators of Pentagram Flowerbox doesn’t move no more. Frank is still blowing things up.
