- Poor Reverend Jynxx Midnite of the Phantom Frequency just can't cut a break, can he? For the second month now, the darling Davenports invade his program and amuse/confuse his regular guests with their unique brand of strange Neo-Victorian programming. For those who're interested in the further exploits of The Phantom Frequency, the full and epic 3 hour podcast can be found at the good Reverend's own podcast site. As the Davenport sisters made their escape two other girl DJs seem to have snuck into the station, and stayed around to play music and bother Reverend Jynxx. He really can't get a break.

- Listen:
- This site uses Flash Player 10
- "Spring has sprung, but where is Klaude?", wonders poor Emmett Davenport as she is forced to do the show all on her own. Klaude has been missing from the Calpurnia for days, and Emmett worries she may have run off to do something rash. Emmett soldiers through, however, and has invited along young Miss Victoria Everglott to join the show; a cultural anthropologist and renowned tea drinker who will give us all a brief lesson in how to properly order tea in Chinese. Emmett regales us all with songs about rain and spring... But wait! What are those heavy footsteps running down the hallway? Is Klaude about to join us or have CLANNG finally tracked down the sisters? All this and more in the latest installment of The Clockwork Cabaret.
