Shaun Histed-Todd
The Sonic Architect and co‑owner of Wicked Spins Radio, shaping everything from the station’s sound and identity to its digital design and day‑to‑day operations. Raised in West London’s alternative scene, Shaun cut his teeth in the late‑80s underground — from Camden clubs to life on the road with a gothic rock band in the 90s— before moving through photography, Jungle, event promotion, and eventually founding the grassroots festival Alice’s Wicked Tea Party.
Since taking over WSR in 2012, Shaun has helped transform the station into a global home for boundary‑pushing music. He curates new shows, supports emerging artists, and hosts The Snuff Monkey Show, which has welcomed icons like Al Jourgensen, Mark Stewart, Aki Nawaz, and Michael Gira.
For Shaun, WSR is the culmination of a lifetime spent championing the weird, the wonderful, and the uncompromising voices of the alternative world.

Sean X
Dr Ordinaire (Dr O or Simply Sean for short) has a long history of musical madness. A veteran of the North West Post-Punk scene, clubs, gigs, raves, and festivals were his home and playground.
From a very early age, a steady stream of Northern Soul, Reggae, Ska, Classical, Blues, Jazz, Rock, Funk, Bowie, Glam and Rock shaped his early tastes. He was well and truly bitten, but it was the Punk explosion that truly blew the doors off. Not yet in his teens, he feverishly bought the records but was still too young to attend the gigs or pubs. That would change within 3 years when, as a cocky 13-year-old, he proudly attended his first gig, The Specials at Carlisle market hall in 1979.
By his early teens, he had blagged his way into gigs and Carlisle’s infamous Twisted Wheel. Known affectionately as “The Wheel”, the club was home to a mixed crowd of post-punk misfits, new romantics, indie kids, goths, punks, mods, psychobillies, skins, space cadets, Carlisle’s gay community and football hooligans. They shared a dance floor presided over by a large mural of Bowie’s heroes cover that was totally fitting.
