The Clockwork Cabaret: A Mad Wasp Radio Show

This week's show stands with protest, memory, and the stubborn force of survival as Emmett Davenport and Lady Attercop guide you through songs of grief, resistance, and liberation. It's full of truth-telling, raised voices, and the reminder that sometimes history changes because someone refuses to stay in their assigned place.

WARNING! This show is for adults. We drink cocktails, have potty mouths and, at least, one of us was raised by wolves.

The Clockwork Cabaret is a production of Agony Aunt Studios. Featuring that darling DJ Duo, Lady Attercop and Emmett Davenport. Our theme music is made especially for us by Kyle O'Door.

This episode aired on Mad Wasp Radio, 06.14.26.
