NH Unscripted with Ray Dudley

NH Unscripted with Ray Dudley is a New Hampshire community interview show with one foot in local arts and the other in whatever subject has caught Ray Dudley's attention that week. It broadcasts from WKXL Studios in Concord with a deliberately retro, AM-radio mood. The introductions are part station ID, part time machine, and part comic ritual. Then the conversation starts moving. The show's arts foundation is real: film, theater, actors, directors, documentary work, classic entertainment, and New Hampshire creative life keep returning. But the format is elastic. A Daniel Siletti conversation turns into a spirited tour of actor replacements, old television logic, Lois Lane changes, Bewitched recasting, Superman, I Love Lucy, and My Three Sons. A Wayback Machine Monday episode treats country and pop crossover hits as cultural artifacts, moving from Patsy Cline to Glen Campbell, Jeannie C. Riley, Johnny Cash, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, and Jimmy Dean. Other episodes step outside entertainment without losing the same curious tone. Darrell Glass talks through GLP-1 medications, semaglutide, nootropics, big pharmacy, compound pharmacies, and possible unexpected uses for diabetes drugs. Harlan Freeman and Catherine Parker make institutional food service feel more interesting than expected, covering patient meals, vegetables, probiotics, coffee, sugar, holiday menus, cabbage, budgets, and dietician guidance. Alan Govenar brings in documentary arts, tattoo culture, circus sideshow history, Jasper, Texas, Dorchester, Bosnia, and the idea of giving voice to people outside the usual frame. Dorinda and David Priebe turn beekeeping into a compact field lesson, with varroa mites, overwintering colonies, brood temperature, hive inspections, sampling, and colony counts. Ray Dudley's role is not to sound polished. It is to keep the room loose enough that local expertise can become a story. The pace is jumpy, generous, and full of memory. The show works best for listeners who enjoy regional conversation that can be funny, practical, nostalgic, and unexpectedly specific in the same hour.
