1:37:10 – Welcome to Tape Land! On each episode, I’ll present the audio of a cassette tape or historic material from my personal archives.

37 years ago today, on Monday, February 17, 1986, “Mad” Mike and Frank Nora “Master of the Airwaves” premiered their college comedy radio show “Anything But Monday” on WMNJ, at Drew University in Madison, New Jersey. Presented for this occasion are selections from two compilation cassettes which were distributed in very limited quantities at the time – “ABM Radio: Their Finest Hour” (circa 1987) and “ABM Radio: Their Final Hour” (circa 1988). 

Mike and Frank were kicked off the air in Spring 1986, and started a magazine based on the show. By Fall 1986 they were back on the air, and the show continued till Mike graduated in Spring 1988. The magazine became a nationally distributed comic book in 1988 and 1989. After that, the project ended, but has been revived from time to time, most notably as a premium podcast in Spring 2007.

56:55 – PriorCaster, by Bob LeMent of Static Radio and Morning Commute, seeks to document the people who were the pioneers of audio on the internet.

Chad Bowers has taken the road less traveled on his lifelong journey to find interesting things to do and survive on.  He has sold cell phones and ended up creating a website, he’s directed anime films and found love, he’s worked in terrestrial radio and found the internet.  All these things have added up to a wild and interesting career of internet oddities.

Chad was working in terrestrial radio when he fell into the task of making a website for the station during the Geocities era of internet content.  This foray into creating something new and different made an impact on him.

Selling cell phones though was probably the most creative job he could have had at the time, even though saying it doesn’t seem right. It was through cell phone sales that he came up with his personal brand of internet strangeness, TITFOS, or The Incredible True Facts of Space.  This houses his worse fears and craziest desires and has outlasted many others to be a definite stop for the world-weary and tormented internet traveler.

1:40:09 – PriorCaster, by Bob LeMent of Static Radio and Morning Commute, seeks to document the people who were the pioneers of audio on the internet.

James O’Brien has worn many hats, but I think his best one is independent media producer.  He embodies the passion and drive that anyone who wants to produce their own media should look up to.

Starting with Rant Radio, most likely the first 24/7 independent streaming radio station back in January 1999, onto Rant TV which did the same for video in 2003. His projects and passions for internet media were fierce and incredibly independent.

As James has moved through his hobby of creating media, it has led to a kind of dream gig as an independent filmmaker, where he still explores the world for projects that fit his interests.
