Boston Radio and WBCN legend, Oedipus, is someone who seems to have said yes to everything.

Oedipus got his start as an intern in college radio in the 70’s and worked his way into the WBCN family, creating the Boston Radio powerhouse that BCN became.

With his cutting-edge pink hair and his love of punk and new wave music, the musicians that made up the Boston bands like DMZ and The Real Kids, many of whom slept on his floor in his small Beacon Hill apartment, paved the way for other bands to break out. WBCN introduced Boston and the world to The Police, The Clash, The Ramones, and U2 to name just a few.

We don’t get to ask too many questions in this episode, which is fine with us. Oedipus has enough stories to fill several episodes. But we’ll keep it to just this one.
