The Clockwork Cabaret: A Mad Wasp Radio Show

This week's show reaches for the stars and somehow ends up at Lake Lure as Emmett Davenport and Lady Attercop wander through beautiful people, bad prophecies, and the eternal human desire to be told we're secretly chosen. It's a cosmically misguided hour of enlightenment, apocalypse, and spiritual bookkeeping where the end is always near, the jewelry is suspiciously expensive, and Brooklyn apparently isn't exotic enough.

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, 10.25.26.

This week's show sinks beneath the surface as Emmett Davenport and Lady Attercop wade through drowned valleys, ancient things best left sleeping, and the general human tendency to build directly beside something that can kill us. It's a waterlogged hour of tides, shipwrecks, strange depths, and bad decisions where the current is strong, the bottom is dark, and something down there may already know your name.

This week's show wrestles with heaven, hell, and the exhausting business of trying to be a decent person as Emmett Davenport and Lady Attercop guide you through wicked towns, stairways to heaven, old-time religion, and very questionable company. It's a philosophically tinged hour where everyone's keeping score, nobody understands the system, and somehow there's still paperwork.

This week's show disappears into dark woods, muddy water, black coffee, and questions that refuse to stay buried as Emmett Davenport and Lady Attercop guide you through murder, moonlight, strange creatures, and things best left behind the curtain. It's a surreal happy hour where the coffee is strong, the woods are listening, and sometimes the line walks you.

This week's show boards a one-way ticket through cold tricks, big ships, bad omens, and beautiful industrial mistakes as Emmett Davenport and Lady Attercop guide you toward the edge of the map. It's the last new episode until September while we go on holiday, because even the cabaret must occasionally stop rattling, steaming, and making questionable noises in public.

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

This week's show takes a spin through swing, moonlight, mischief, and romantic decisions best made near an exit as Emmett Davenport and Lady Attercop guide you from ballroom charm to beautiful bad ideas. It's a night of polished shoes, questionable restraint, and the reminder that sometimes the dance keeps going because rent is due.
