Shaun Histed-Todd & Martin Wattinger

The Snuff Monkey Radio Show

The Snuff Monkey Radio Show has been on air for 16 years, helmed by its host and founder, Shaun Histed-Todd, also known as “Snuffers.” From the outset, the show has been dedicated to bringing groundbreaking artists, both past and present, to the airwaves, regardless of genre. Its musical reach is deliberately wide-ranging, spanning punk, post-punk, electronica, alternative pop, industrial, indie, dub, and global beats, creating a platform where innovation and diversity take centre stage.

Shaun regularly welcomes guest artists for live appearances, and over the years the programme has featured an impressive roster of influential names, including Al Jourgensen of Ministry and Aki Nawaz of Southern Death Cult and Fun-Da-Mental, among many others. These conversations offer listeners rare insight into the minds behind the music, blending candid discussion with carefully selected tracks that reflect each guest’s creative journey.

In recent years, Shaun has been joined by his regular co-host, Martin Wattinger of the slaughterhouse blues band The Wattingers. Together, they weave an engaging and often unpredictable narrative that moves fluidly between discussions of emerging bands, global music trends, underground scenes, and, at times, thought-provoking explorations of world affairs, cultural movements, and the curious corners of modern life.

Blending deep musical knowledge with wit, curiosity, and an unmistakable independent spirit, The Snuff Monkey Radio Show continues to stand as a distinctive voice in alternative broadcasting, championing artists who push boundaries and listeners who crave something beyond the ordinary airwaves.
