10:22:05 – Welcome to Tape Land! On each episode, I’ll present the audio of a cassette tape or historic recording from my collection. It’s a way to help motivate me to release more of my archives.
It’s been nearly six years since I recorded Part 1 of the audiobook version of my “failed science fiction novel” Severe Repair. Since I never got back to it, I figured I’d see how it would sound for the reading to be continued by a computer voice. It sounded alright, so here it is!

1:17:58 – Here we go, let’s take The Onsug Radio Trip! It’s a neverending audio adventure for the dedicated wanderer and connoisseur of the random and weird and deep. As we dive into the archive that is over 16,000 hours long, you never know what you will encounter. There a many ways to listen. You can go full random for the deepest exploration. But sometimes you just want to go with the flow and focus in on one particular kind of listening experience. For this session, let’s set the filter to “The Rampler”, a nickname for host Frank Edward Nora. This filter will only play Frank’s solo ramblings, making for smooth sailing on the seas of the sonic cosmos. The word of the night is “Mushroom”. Look up The Onsug Radio Trip, along with this word, at onsug.com, for a list of all the shows where these segments come from. That’s O-N-S-U-G dot com. Now, let’s patch in to the signal.

45:00 — While I’m in-between producing shows or whatever, enjoy one of the random recordings I’ve been posting on my Spotify feed since the last episode of my podcast, The Midnight Citizen, back in November 2025.
This one I recorded on a humid Christmas night in Birmingham, AL. Join me for a drink as I mull over Stanley Kubrick’s last movie “Eyes Wide Shut” — the weirdo plot, theories old and new, and why nobody “saw” it when it came out…even though I processed countless late fees for the VHS at Blockbuster.
