Who knows what evil lurks in the heart of man? Pure Imagination knows. From Wisconsin cheeseheads lost in the world of Miami fashion to a man lusting after a woman smaller than a breadbox, the tales read aloud on this quirky Miami radio show rock the airwaves like broadcast storytelling never went out of fashion. Join the writers and musicians at Sweat Records for the last radio broadcast this year, Pure Imagination Live — Christmas Cards from the Economic Collapse. Listen as local musicians accompany stories of lust, hate, and mail-order brides. Hail back to the good old days when radio ruled the world. You know, the ones when Grandma hid under the ottoman because Orson Welles convinced her that aliens were going to eat her children.

Party like it’s 1938 at 9 p.m. at Sweat Records. Admission is free. For more information, visit www.vangloria.net/pureimagination.
