Onsug Radio – Test 1 (8/22/23)

3:57:07 – Onsug Radio is a growing collection of over 14,000 hours of audio shows, meant to be preserved into the far future in the form of a book. For anyone who encounters this book, the first thing they will hear is a top-level “broadcast” which plays clips from the entire archive, with a host providing commentary.

To create this broadcast, I split the archive into 209-second (3:29) clips – 228,150 at the time of this writing. My original thought was to randomize them, but then curate from the random clips. However, as this test shows, a purely random stream of these clips actually sounds great – no curation needed.

This then is 70 random clips, with no hosting, as a test of concept. I was very pleased with how this sounds. The next step will be to incorporate host commentary.
