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.
