WLMP 660 AM - We Love Mountain Praise-The Lamp on the Ridge

More Than A Radio Station

More Than A Radio Station

More Than A Radio Station


WLMP didn’t begin as a fictional radio station. It began as a vision. A voice. A lamp on the ridge.

It’s not a gimmick. It’s not a marketing tool. It’s not here for clickbait.

WLMP is a fully realized, fiercely independent broadcasting station rooted in the grit of Appalachia and the fire of the Gospel. It serves as the beating heart of The Ballad of Kentucky Johnson and will become the voice of the entire Ballad Dodecet—a twelve-volume literary and musical epic spanning faith, frontier, and family legacy.

Just like Pinocchio, WLMP may have started carved from imagination. But it's gettin' more real by the day.

What is WLMP?

The Three-Stage Vision of WLMP 660 AM

“It started as fiction. But like Pinocchio—it’s gettin’ more real by the day.”

“It started as fiction. But like Pinocchio—it’s gettin’ more real by the day.”

“It started as fiction. But like Pinocchio—it’s gettin’ more real by the day.”

 WLMP 660AM is more than a radio station.
It’s a movement in three unfolding stages—a fusion of story, sound, and spirit that began in fiction but is carving out a very real place in the hearts of those hungry for truth. This first stage is highly meta—but deeply sincere. WLMP broadcasts from within the novel’s universe, while simultaneously stepping into our own.We are not merely promoting a story.  We are living it into reality. What began as a creative device has now become a crossroads of culture, calling, and contrarian conviction.In this hybrid space where faith meets folklore, and narrative meets nation, WLMP is forming a real-world platform for legacy, resistance, and revival. It’s more than a launchpad for The Ballad of Kentucky Johnson—it’s the sound of something stirring.
Something holy. Something rebellious. Something true.


Stage One – A Voice from the Hollow: Launching The Ballad of Kentucky Johnson

“It started as fiction. But like Pinocchio—it’s gettin’ more real by the day.”

“It started as fiction. But like Pinocchio—it’s gettin’ more real by the day.”

   WLMP begins its journey as a broadcast station with a mission— to serve as the launch platform for The Ballad of Kentucky Johnson, a Southern Gothic epic set in the deep hollers of Appalachia and the stormy heart of the human condition. But this ain’t your average book promo. WLMP isn’t just about the novel—it’s part of it. The characters listen to it. The songs play within its pages. The sermons echo through the story like thunder over the ridge. WLMP is both backdrop and lifeline, fiction and fact braided so tight they can’t be pulled apart.

From the first broadcast to the final benediction, WLMP is the pulse of the Dodecet.
A living, breathing voice—part stage, part sanctuary—where storytelling and spiritual fire meet in the middle.Not just to promote a novel, but to proclaim a movement.

Stage Two – The Ballad Dodecet & The Deepening Voice of WLMP

“It started as fiction. But like Pinocchio—it’s gettin’ more real by the day.”

Stage Two – The Ballad Dodecet & The Deepening Voice of WLMP

  As The Ballad of Kentucky Johnson plants its roots, WLMP begins its expansion into the full Ballad Dodecet—a 12-volume narrative tapestry weaving together the lives, songs, journals, and battles of Appalachia, the British Isles, and the Kingdom of God.

  • WLMP will broadcast content from across the Dodecet universe: The Ballads of - (1) Kentucky Johnson, (2) Callum  James Roan, (3) Patrick (4) Fearghal,Samuel Pilcher, (5) Dylan  Llewellyn & (6) Victor  Robert Farrell (the autobiographical volume)

All Six Ballads with six “Fanbooks” that accompany them.

Stage 2 - Building

Stage Three – WLMP Becomes Its Own Living, Breathing Thing

Stage Two – The Ballad Dodecet & The Deepening Voice of WLMP

 Each broadcast becomes an audio strand in a greater story— a kind of mythopoetic revival network,  bringing together Appalachian grit, Hebridean soul, and deep spiritual fire.

Through podcasts, radio specials, music, drama, and sermons,  WLMP becomes the beating heart of the Dodecet, giving voice to every volume.But it doesn’t stop there.

As the full Ballad Dodecet unfolds,
WLMP steps forward not just as a mouthpiece, but as a living archive—a radio sanctuary where story, song, scripture, and soul converge.It becomes the soundtrack of a movement,a beacon for those building legacy, resisting decay, and hungering for something real.No longer fiction. No longer prototype. WLMP becomes pilgrimage.

A journey for the remnant.
A platform for the prophets.
A frequency for the faithful.

Here, the dial doesn’t just tune into a broadcast—it tunes into a battleground of beauty and truth,where the old songs rise again, and the next generation finds its voice.

Stage Three – WLMP Becomes Its Own Living, Breathing Thing

Eventually, the Ballad Dodecet will be complete—the novels written, the fanbooks published, the tour concluded.

But WLMP? WLMP will still be on the air.

With its own audience—forged in fire and faith.With its own mission—truth, grit, grace, and glory.With new voices, new music, and stories still to tell.With a spiritual backbone that won’t bend or break.WLMP becomes a real broadcast force—a Christian Contrarian station where pews may empty, but altars burn. We will train up storytellers and musicians, broadcast devotionals, documentaries, kids’ shows, and long-form interviews. We'll stir Appalachian revivalism, British boldness, and frontier faith into something blazing. We'll explore prepping, poetry, protest, prophecy, and praise—rolling like thunder on the ridge.

And yes—there’ll be ads for local honey, fried pies, tent meetings, and the occasional rattlesnake warning near the mailbox.

But Let’s Be Clear About One Thing…

Stage Three – WLMP Becomes Its Own Living, Breathing Thing

Stage Three – WLMP Becomes Its Own Living, Breathing Thing

  WLMP didn’t begin as a fictional radio station.  It began as a vision.
A voice. A lamp on the ridge.
A whisper through the trees that said, “Build it anyway.” It’s not a gimmick. It’s not a brand. It’s not some clever marketing tool stitched onto a novel. It’s not here to tickle ears or play it safe.

WLMP is real. It’s becoming flesh and airwaves.Song and sermon.Ink and microphone.Revival and resistance.
The kind of fire that refuses to die down just because the lights go out.

At first, it lived in story.Fictional. Faint. Imagined.A carved boy in a quiet corner of the writer’s shop.But just like Pinocchio…
WLMP is a real boy now.
And he’s just getting started.

He’s dancing on dials.
Preaching through static.
Singing through storms.

This is WLMP. 660 AM. We Love Mountain Praise.
Born in the holler. Baptized in song.
Built to last.

TUNE IN NOW TO 660 AM WLMP-1998-2030AD
