Madame Psychosis vanishes from the air: the unannounced WYYY hiatus

timeline_event

pivotal · from 23 Oct YDAU

When: YDAU (2009), from 23 Oct (last show) through the range's end
What: Madame Psychosis — "an unvarying M-F midnight presence" on WYYY's "Sixty Minutes More or Less" for several years — takes an unannounced sabbatical. The station is evasive; a "Miss Diagnosis" fill-in lasts two days; the program then runs unhelmed, her ambient static musics playing without her. Hal's verdict on the voiceless broadcast: "like somebody's mind coming apart right before your ears." Damaged regular listeners come down to the station to inquire after her.
