1:03:07 – Welcome to Tape Land! On each episode, I’ll present the audio of a cassette tape or historic material from my personal archives.

In December 2002 I was lost in the weeds of a multitude of ideas surrounding my projects Obliviana Super Occult Amusement and Bluffcosm.com. Amazingly, a few months later, I dropped most of these ideas and started my show The Overnightscape – which is still going today, 22 years later!

1:18:28 – Onsug Saloon continues from last week’s experimental show Onsug Radio Shuffle Mode. It’s in the same format, with random 209 second clips from the entire Onsug Radio archive, shuffled, each introduced by a computer voice. The first clip is chosen from the shuffle, so things get off to a good start, but the rest are completely random, from a pool of over 259,000 clips. This time, the set of clips are updated to include the complete archive up to last month, June 2025. Like last time, I think it’s better not to include show titles, as the titles are spoken in the audio. But I will include a reference list which will allow you to find the shows in need be. I really like how this one turned out, just like last time, and I intend to continue with this experiment.

Onsug Saloon was originally a short-lived project that began ten years ago, in July 2015. It was a chat room where random Onsug Radio shows would be played on a live stream, 24/7. The name came to mind, and I thought it would be a great name for this new project.
