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.

29:36 – What do child sacrifice, man-on-man sex and bestiality have in common, and why are they not to be recommended? Dave in Kentucky provides the Yahwelian perspective and motivation. Also: why Canaan was not for the Canaanites, how to avoid food poisoning without understanding it, practical jokes to play on the deaf and the blind, and the punishments for various infractions. Spoiler alert: the death penalty is a very popular punishment.

Theme music: “O Thou Who Camest from Above” (words 1762, music 1872) by Charles Wesley (1707-1788) and Samuel Sebastian Wesley (1810-1876), Public Domain, performed by Dave in Kentucky (2023), Public Domain Dedication.
