1:00:54 – Welcome to Tape Land! On each episode, I will be presenting the audio of a cassette tape from my collection. It’s a way to help motivate me to digitize more of my archives.
The first tape is “Anything But Monday 10/5/87” – from my college radio show with Mad Mike.
While a few clips from this tape have been on Onsug before, the majority of it is being heard here for the first time since it was broadcast almost 30 years ago.
Some trivia from this episode… one of our fellow students on the tape, Jennifer Niven, went on to become a successful author. She also visited us on our 2012 reunion show.

1:33:24 –Â Join Mike in the studio late at night as he recounts his team’s EMBARRASSING loss at this week’s 48-hour film-making competition. Also: remembering my teacher mom’s students in the late 80’s who used to hang around my house and play Nintendo.
Note: I say that Bill Paxton was in “Independence Day”. Obvious mistake. I meant “Apollo 13”.
