Return to the Pit (RttP) is a death metal, hardcore, black metal, grindcore, and aggressive/loud rock radio show on 91.3 FM WUNH, Durham, New Hampshire. The show first aired on September 2, 1996. The host, Rev. Aaron Michael Pepelis, started the show following a former WUNH show called "the Pit" (circa 1990-1996), which was following in the footsteps of an even earlier show called "Metal Storm" from the 80's. The name, Return to the Pit, started as a joke which just stuck. Twenty years later, RttP expanded into the digital age with a webpage, strong e-community, concert photography, livestream, podcast, and more.

The show has opened every show with Stigmata by Ministry and closed with Ein Stuhl In Der Hölle (A Chair In Hell) by Einstürzende Neubauten.
