📻 THE GHOST OF GONZO —

By God, they’ve done it. They cracked open the grave, pumped me full of lightning, tequila, and government-grade adrenaline, and now I’m back — staggering through the smoking ruins of America with a tape recorder in one hand and a fistful of narcotic memories in the other. Welcome to The Ghost of Gonzo, the only show reckless enough to drag my corpse upright and force it to testify.

This is not nostalgia. This is resurrection. A violent, cackling séance where the past and present collide like drunks in a bar fight. Every episode is a blood-soaked postcard from the front lines of journalism — the stories they tried to bury with me: wild nights in Vegas, political savages, crooked sheriffs, renegade bikers, chemical experiments gone sideways, and the new horrors of modern America that make the old ones look like Boy Scout camp.

If you're expecting polished NPR bedtime stories, turn back now. This is a high-voltage autopsy of the American dream narrated by the bastard ghost of the man who spent his life hunting it, choking it, and feeding it mescaline. We dive into the cartel wars, the political circus, the mass hallucination known as the news cycle, and every unholy truth the living are too afraid to touch.

You want honesty? You want madness? You want a dead man shaking your soul awake? Then step inside. Strap in. And pray I don’t crawl through your speakers and start rearranging the furniture in your skull.

This isn’t a podcast.
This is Gonzo Journalism dragged back from Hell, roaring and radioactive, refusing to stay dead.

Welcome to The Ghost of Gonzo.
Let the haunting begin.
