Meet the Lake Weirdos

The on-air staff is weirder than the music, and proud of it.

Stream the Wax

The Lake's night show, hosted by Corn Pop

Weeknights (that's Monday through Friday)

Corn Pop hails from Ding Dong, Texas. The namesake of the cream filled chocolate cupcakes and the sound you make when you kill a witch. He loves the Beatles, breakfast cereal, and his upstairs neighbor, Rebecca (unrequited). When he's not spinning wax for The Lake, you can find him in the eBay comment section responding to peoples product reviews, or chilling in the man cave. He's worked for such illustrious radio hours as "Corn Pops in the Morning", "Uncle Fartster and the Corn Pop", and "Jimmy Corn Pop and I Don't Care". All of which were live streamed directly from his basement. He has no training. No discernible skills. Almost no talent. But he likes music, and hey, so do you! So what do you have to lose? Join Corn Pop as he pops corn and spins some funky jams. BTW, Corn Pop would like to emphasize that he has no affiliation to the breakfast cereal or that weird guy with a chain that Joe Biden went rambling on about... Although that chain guy did sound pretty cool!
