59:07 – 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.

On this tape I’m in NYC in 2001, and I’m recording just a kind of personal journal. At the time, I wasn’t planning on releasing it. But it’s striking how similar it is to The Overnightscape of today… walking around the Port Authority Bus Terminal and 42nd Street… yet it’s such a different world, 2001… two years before The Overnightscape began…

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.
