4:04:30 – It’s a special edition experiment! Instead of the usual 22 clips, this time we’re doing 70, without the computer voice introducing each clip. Also, the audio is a lo-fi mono, similar to old AM radio, which stimulates the mind differently. I listened to the whole four hours, and it’s quite a trip!

1:13:38 – Continuing the experiment of random Onsug listening! Taken from the complete Onsug archive of nearly 16,000 hours, here are 22 random 3.5 minute clips! Somehow, there’s one repeat clip from last episode, which seems incredibly unlikely, but is still within the realm of possibility. Also, there’s an unbelievable synchronicity, from my most recent episode of The Overnightscape.
