44:31 – Welcome to Tape Land! On each episode, I’ll present the audio of a cassette tape or historic material from my personal archives.
This episode is part of a sub-project within Tape Land called “Video Phase 2022”. I recently began transferring a ton of old video tapes to digital, and have been posting selections to YouTube. Here, I’ll be releasing the audio tracks of these videos, as well as linking you to the YouTube videos.
“Polarized Worlds†is a Doctor Who fan film made by a group of teens in Bridgewater Township, NJ, in the summer of 1985. Thought lost, director Frank Edward Nora found a Beta dub of the original VHS, over 36 years later in December 2021.
The audio of the raw videos shot for Polarized Worlds have long been available on The Onsug in a series called Video Kids 85. But this is the first time the final movie has been released. The beginning of the video didn’t transfer – it included a title card reading “Glynnora Productions”, an introduction by writer/producer Jim Glynn, and scenes of the first six Doctors from the BBC series, establishing Paul Bergen as the Seventh Doctor. I’ll restore the beginning at some point, if at all possible. I’m also planning to release more of the “behind the scenes” footage.
Released 12/18/21

Original video series about an eccentric entertainment producer named Beublin. A. Richardson who becomes obsessed with a stone egg. Filmed in Somerset County, NJ, in 1991. Written and directed by Frank Edward Nora. More info at onsug.com
Beublin A. Richardson has had a complex existence in The Onsug. I continued the series in audio during the Bluffcosm era (2000-2002). In 2005, I played the audio version of all the episodes on weekends when The Overnightscape was a daily show, in a feature called Weekend Showcase. The response to this was very negative from my listeners, which led, down the road, to my creating The Overnightscape Underground as a place for alternative audio that wouldn’t “interfere” with the main show. This then led to The Onsug of today.
The edit used in the video has never been released before. It separates the content into 13 episodes, with some silence in-between. It also has a brief audio clip of me as a baby over the title screen. There is also an end credits sequence.
It’s been a long time since there’s been any new Beublin material, but Peter and I talk about it whenever we get together, so who knows, Beublin may continue someday.

Behind the scenes: This was our first ABM recording since 1990 (though we did record a writing session in 1993). We recorded after hours at a chiropractic office Mike was working at in the Clifton, NJ area. I was living at my apartment in Iselin, NJ, and I drove up with a bunch of equipment to record the show. The show didn’t go well. We were very rusty and unprepared, and we didn’t record very much. On the drive home, I was pulled over by the police, and they saw the equipment in the back of my Jeep. They said they had received reports of thefts in the area and accused me of stealing the equipment. Somehow they let me go, and when I got home I called Mike to let him know what happened, but I must have woken him up, so we wound up having a fight. This soured things, and we didn’t try and revive the show again till 1997. (I never heard back from the police.)
