Released February 2013 on The Overnightscape Underground (onsug.com), an Internet talk radio channel focusing on a freeform monologue style, with diverse and fascinating hosts.

The archive of The Overnightscape Underground is current, up to the end of January 2013.

Pocket Overnightscape (42.2 GB) is the same set of tracks as the main archive, but converted to lo-fi 24kbps mono MP3s. It can be downloaded loose or as ZIPs.

Overnightscape Handbook 95 is a PDF that contains detailed information about the archive.

I’m also working on:

New Pocket Overnightscape is a reorganization of the archive to make it easier to find each show. It is current up to the end of October 2012. Development is on hold at the moment, but I do plan on returning to it. The site right now is a simple file browser and audio player, and is a work in progress.
