Whois
Nick the Rat is a Brooklyn-born artist and podcaster with a lifelong passion for comedy and visual art. After exploring animation on YouTube and building a following across social media, he discovered No Agenda in August 2010 — drawn in by John C. Dvorak's reputation as one of the most candid voices in media. He went on to become the show's #1 selected cover artist, earning more episode selections than any other contributor.
Inspired by the No Agenda podcast and the legendary Art Bell's departure from paranormal radio, Nick launched Nick the Rat Radio in early 2016. The show blends variety-style paranormal programming with curated synthwave music, current news commentary, and live call-ins — carving out a unique space at the intersection of conspiracy culture, underground art, and independent media.
