(OCTOBER 2009) – Broken bottles of a mysterious potion are scattered throughout the laboratory where Envision Radio Networks®’ Full Metal Jackie is putting the finishing touches on a FREE two hour radio special to celebrate Halloween! From the bottom of Jackie’s black metal heart comes a sinister soundtrack of spooky favorites from Iron Maiden, Slayer, The Misfits and other grave-shaking shots of metal thunder.

This FREE special is available for broadcast October 26th through November 1st via internet download. Contact Matt Wardlaw at 216-831-3761 for broadcast details.

Full Metal Jackie began her radio career as a DJ at WSOU Pirate Radio, Seton Hall University’s legendary metal station. Instantly addicted to the excitement of life behind the mic, she graduated Pirate Radio (and Seton Hall), to become an on-air personality at WHTG (Neptune, NJ), and later at
WDHA (Dover, NJ).

Jackie set her sights on bigger markets (and warmer climates!), making her way west to California’s gold coast. After a short stint as on-air host at San Diego’s 94.9 KBZT, Jackie landed the opportunity she had been working toward since her early WSOU days: host and producer of her own (and L.A.’s only) commercial heavy metal radio show, CHAOS on Indie 103.1. Today, Full Metal Jackie’s show can be heard in syndicated markets throughout the United States
