The story that inspired BlasphuphmusRadio.com‘s Lost In The Supermarket Compilation! Nine new pieces of writing! The first new publication in four years! The beginning of digital writing, in inconvenient physical and .pdf formats! Available by simply requesting a copy!
At a Halloween Party in 1999, Austin Rich made the mistake of eating a dried date that was handed to him by a mysterious stranger part-way through Jack-Ass Willy’s bluegrass set. Suddenly, Austin found himself in the year 2010, having lost almost 10 years of his life, to find himself in a world very similar to the one he left, but seemed filled with new kinds of savagery, super science, and sorcery.
It’s three years later, and in that time Austin tried to continue his life in the way he’d done before, slowly integrating into this new future world through picking up work as The Office Detective, catching up on comics, TV, movies and books, finding a partner in crime, and studying magic, hoping after each adventure that his next leap will be the leap home.
In it all, the one thing Austin hadn’t returned to was his old habit of making ‘zines about his everyday life. Something was missing. Something incredibly easy to do. Something… pressing.
Join us as we follow a regular publication by The Austin Rich from an alternate timeline. These are serial adventures that are half-fact, half fiction, where the experiences that both I and Earth-2 Austin have are very similar, and yet, different in surprising ways. Each issue is available in both print and digital forms, and offer a return to having a regular publication available from us for discerning readers.
Show reviews! Movie Reviews! Stories about dating and jobs. And the story of The Office Detective!

The Dead Air Fresheners
THIS JUST IN!Blasphuphmus Radio – namely, Austin Rich – will be performing live with The Dead Air Fresheners at NoFest!The Dead Air Fresheners completed in 2013 their trilogy of operatives with spoken word artists begun in 2001 with poet Chuck Swaim and continued some ten years later with experimental fiction author Jennifer Robin. The final installments of this trilogy were a handful of performances with zine writer and underground radio personality Austin Rich. I am very excited to be a part of their show, and this will be a stellar performance that you will not want to miss.
To get a sense of the kinds of work we do together, check out this video made by Ryan A Ray a the Ethiopian restaurant and lounge Habesha. This video featurs the masked chance determinists laying an electro-acoustic and electronic soundtrack to Mr. Rich’s surrealist sermon of the gospel from the Church of Blasphuphmus.
Additionally: The Blasphuphmus Radio Street Team will be on the scene for No Fest! Our team of faithful recording cardinals will be out recording bands, interviews, and street recordings of No Fest as it is happening. This is a call to any artist or musician who would like to be included in our podcast during this weekend. Just contact blasphuphmus@gmail.com and express your interest.
