Hosted and produced by the wise cracking and often outspoken Kingston based musician turned radio host , Kasey Ferguson, this is an uncensored and raucous ride that speaks to those who are dissatisfied with what they hear on commercial radio . It's Saturday Night Live meets Headbanger's Ball, it's Letterman for metalheads, it's Mad Magazine for your headphones. It's an irreverent, unpredictable and wildly funny program that Kasey himself describes as "craft radio".
In addition to The Kasey Ferguson Show podcast, Kasey also hosted and produced a 25-episode radio version of The Kasey Ferguson Show, several interviews and a one-hour radio special for the terrestrial radio station, Amherst Island Radio 92.1 FM , a volunteer run station serving the community in and around his hometown which streamed to the online world as well. This version of The Kasey Ferguson Show featured all new content and became the most downloaded show on the station, a trend which continued even after the program went into re runs when he chose to leave the station in 2017 .
Kasey then accepted an offer from internet station Q108, Kingston's New Rock to produce a few specials, including the continuation of his annual Halloween series "The Haunted House Of Rock" which is often regarded by many fans as a staple of their Halloween celebrations each year.
Kasey is also an in-demand MC, hosting concerts, festivals, charity events, mixed martial arts contests and horror conventions. He lent his musical talents to one of his past guests when he was tapped to compose and perform the theme song for UFC Legend Dan "The Beast" Severn's MMA promotion, Dangerzone. Known to some for his writing as well, Kasey has written for several entertainment websites and magazines, the latest of which was penning a regular column, "Words From A Wild Card" and a cover story for 2nd Floor Sound Factory Magazine.
Most recently, Kasey was hired as a consultant to build and provide initial station management for an internet station serving the Rideau Lakes area and after a year long stint airing in Ohio, began a syndication run of The Kasey Ferguson Show on 12 stations in 6 countries (US, UK, Canada, Switzerland, France and Germany). The program now airs in syndication 7 days a week. In May of 2023 Kasey also spearheaded an international multi station FM radio/streaming event called "Halloween In May", the FM version of which proved so popular that it's carrier (101.3fm Amherst Island Radio) decided to air the entire overnight special 3 times instead of just once. 2 decade themed specials, 2 Halloween specials and a New Year's special from The Kasey Ferguson Show aired on FM radio in Australia over the course of 2022/2023 on 101.3fm Memphis Mayhem Radio.
In August of 2023 Kasey was hired by a station in Edmonton, Alberta to build and manage a new hard rock/heavy metal internet radio channel, which launched and began streaming worldwide in October that year. It was a busy season that also saw the release of The Kasey Ferguson Show's Headless Horseman hot sauce from award winning craft condiment company The Capsaicin Cartel and his Halloween Scare-A-Thon radio event entering international syndication as well.
2024 has already seen Kasey add several more carriers in syndication including stations in Sweden, New Jersey and Michigan along with the announcement of the highly anticipated (and expanded) return of the eviscerating international radio events that are Halloween In May and Halloween Scare-A-Thon. After fulfilling his contractual obligations in Edmonton, Kasey began fielding offers and exploring a new and exciting set of business opportunities.
