Radio Scarecrow is the seventh full-length studio album by The Black Dog released in 2008 on CD and vinyl. It was written and produced by Ken Downie, Martin and Richard Dust.
The album's subject was inspired by Numbers Stations and Electronic voice phenomena (Electronic Voice Phenomena) as explained by Martin Dust: "It’s the fact that people will cling to anything as a belief system that interest me a lot. The album name comes from the kids in the village where I live. There’s a local guy who’s had some kind of breakdown and he walks around with a radio to his ear all the time, they call him Radio Scarecrow."
