46:17 – Welcome a new show by Bob LeMent of Static Radio and Morning Commute. PriorCaster seeks to document the people who were the pioneers of audio on the internet.
Our first PriorCaster is Frank Edward Nora. I have been in contact with Frank for over 20 years. He has been creating audio since a child and took to the new world of digital audio as soon as he could back in 1997 with his first foray, Blufftoons.
Check out all his creations bridging the 20th and 21st centuries at his website theovernightscape.com. Be swept into a world that expands from childhood dabbling into mind expanding monologues delivered on the bustling streets of New York City. With over 1800 shows and counting, it is a cornucopia of audio from a one of a kind perspective.

5:19:29 – Welcome to Tape Land! On each episode, I’ll present the audio of a cassette tape or historic material from my personal archives.
Step back to 2012 in this never before released recording of me working on ideas for a new direction in my audio projects. There are a lot of interesting ideas discussed. And while I never moved forward with these ideas specifically, some aspects of them have lived on. Specifically, the current concept of “A Radio Station Inside a Book†establishes a sense of place, much like I was talking about on these audio notes. And the concept of welcoming the listener in – while not formalized as much as in these 2012 ideas – is still very much at the heart of The Onsug.
