PiratesWeek, a 30-minute audio tour of pirate shortwave radio signals, has been off the air since the summer. Tonight on WGXC host Ragner Daneskjold's new show debuts on WGXC. It aired for the first time Friday night, January 6, on shortwave station 5110 kHz WBCQ Area 51 following "Allan Weiner Worldwide" and is called the "Hall of Fame Spotlight."

Tonight's episode: "The Voice of Laryngitis is legendary in the field of pirate radio… and deservedly so. No pirate station in North America (and possibly the world) has ever developed such complex and humorous original skits. In fact, most of the skits are more complex than anything heard on shortwave or commercial radio. Because of the style of programming and the work involved, only about 20 different 45 minute programs from The Voice of Laryngitis have been created since their inception in November 1983. As a result, the station has rarely operated since programs stopped being produced on a regular basis in 1985. In light of everything, it is easier to compare The Voice of Laryngitis to The Fireside Theater than to other long time active pirates."
