2:17:48 – We know everyone’s been waiting and asking themselves the question: “Do we still know what Smidge did last Summer?” Ok, ok… that actually is the alternate title for this episode. But the point is we are back with the BIG conclusion of our recent travel extravaganza for the podcast! And what better way to conclude than with an even BIGGER meetup that happened on the streets of NYC?

So join Smidge and sons as they meetup with two legendary podcasters here for a day spent trekking around NYC. Utilizing the likes of trams, trains, and ferries… this was a day filled with adventure that took the group from Times Square, to Roosevelt Island, to the South Street Seaport areas around NYC. Along with seeing the diversity of fascinating & historic sites, we also have much great conversation here (heavy on a plethora of pop culture themes). Simply put, this episode has it all!

As with the first part episode, this one is also soundtracked by one of Smidge’s current bands. Invisible Sun (which is a tribute to the music of The Police) is captured here both in the studio and live in performance for your quality musical entertainment!

Also, please share the love and listen to some of our favorite podcasts at: Onsug, Static Radio, The Hustle, & Rock Solid.

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.
