1:41:03 – Welcome to Tape Land! On each episode, I’ll present the audio of a cassette tape or historic material from my personal archives.

New Whychock Revival is the latest, much streamlined version of my book of poetry, which I’ve been working on for nearly forty years now. This audio version is read by a computer voice, “Azure Sonia Dragon HD Latest”. I was quite impressed at how this voice approached the material.
