The SoCal Byte

Series produced by Nathan Callahan

Series image

The SoCal Byte is a weekly radio program of subversive and thought-provoking essays that offer a lively deconstruction of contemporary culture at its most profoundly absurd from a distinctly Southern California perspective. The rich and powerful, the sexually challenged, the religiously restricted, dogs, dopes, dreamers, the famous and infamous all come to life as Callahan encourages listeners to peer into the center of the dream and snicker.

Broadcasting on KUCI FM in Orange County, California, The SoCal Byte is produced, written and read by Nathan Callahan, a freelance writer and the co-host of the station's popular news program Weekly Signals.
