2:47:33 – Welcome to Tape Land! On each episode, I’ll present the audio of a cassette tape or historic material from my personal archives.
Even now, 12 years later, I look back on the summer of 2009 with cringe and awe. It was a time of chaos for my radio projects – which ultimately resulted in the birth of The Onsug as we know it today – a vital, unique group project. This recording, “Hazy Transitâ€, was done in the heart of the crisis – and it’s never been released before. It’s tough to listen to, as I was delving into my deepest thoughts, fears, and hang-ups on the matter. But the good news is that something wonderful came out of that dark and confusing time.
Note: back then, I pronounced Onsug as “own-sugâ€, but since then have settled on the pronunciation “on-sugâ€.
