Knox: Hi, I'm Knox. |

Knox Kast Radio was an audio podcast hosted by Knox (of Klayworld fame) and Jason Steele (creator of Charlie the Unicorn) running 75 episodes from June '06 to December '09 (though there was a gap of about two years between the release of the penultimate and ultimate episodes).
Each episode featured the main hosts and occasionally a guest or two; such guests included members of Knox's family and friends, Jason's brother and cousin, and Jason's film-school buddies (including frequent guest Matt Books).
Tropes used in Knox Kast Radio include:
- Non Sequitur Scene - These were fairly frequent on the show. Knox's random burst of (bleeped out) supposedly zoophiliac content during Episode 52 is a good example.
- As are the odd little sound clips in Episode 64.
- Non Sequitur Scene Episode]] - Most of the "in-character full-episode skit" episodes are this, more in the "never mentioned again" aspect.
- Episode 50 involves the guys waking up in a shoe storage facility with a recording device from which they must escape. It is never given any significant mention again.
- Episodes 59-61, the Socktopia Trilogy, involve a sock-based world. It likewise goes unmentioned afterward.
- Episode 17 involves the discovery of an alien craft and the loss of Jason's arm. No mention afterward.
- Episode 10 is mentioned enough afterward to not be this.
- However, each of these is related to the other in a sort of series by a recurring plot element, namely the fact that the Twisty Treat ice cream franchise is evil. It sort of strings together into a big running BLAM Arc that randomly pops up.
- Odd Couple - this and most of its derivatives were played with by the guys' natural personalities. Knox was generally less focused on the show (he had a track record of forgetting to have a movie to review for each episode and usually pulled out a quick halfassed review) and more of a goofball, while Jason managed to fill roles on both sides of Knox; he was usually more attentive to the show, but could easily go into a weirdness that left Knox bewildered.
