59:58 – Frank’s brother John visited his friend in September 2022 and recorded for Combat Zone Revisited. However, after the first hour of recording, John had intended to turn the recorder off, but it stayed on – for 40 hours. For months, John was unable to get the huge file off his phone, and gave up hope of it ever being heard. Months later, on Christmas Eve at Frank’s house, Frank was able to retrieve the file through a difficult series of steps.
This is the first hour of the recording, which is what John had intended for the episode. But there are many more conversations on the recording – which will be released in future installments.
