A combination of collage, new experimental records and other bits and bobs, Mid-Valley Mutations is a tour through the mind of Austin Rich, who has been broadcasting in some form since 1998. Heavily influenced by Dr Demento, Don Joyce and old fashioned College Radio, Austin creates Audio Essays on a variety of subjects, and even just plays records, from time to time. Sometimes Live music and Interviews will grace the program, helping create a situation where you don't really know what you're going to hear, when you tune in. What you need to know is when you enter the Mid-Valley region, be prepared for the Musical Mutations... in whatever form they take.

Saturn does indeed return every 27~30 years so we will all hopefully experience even more than one in our lives. In between those major turning points of course Saturn continues to be relevant and aspecting our lives in various ways
Saturn also represents the heights to which we may climb in this life such as our careers, accomplishing major goals, perfecting an art -- and this show is an example of all youve accomplished man, congrats again A.R. looking forward to the rest of the installments already 🪐🌀✨ Good heartfelt art recognizes something in the observer and gives us strength to accomplish our own endeavors. Thanks and oops this became a long message!
