2:46:37 – Welcome to Tape Land! On each episode, I’ll present the audio of a cassette tape or historic material from my personal archives.
Peer back into the early days of podcasting!
Over the years I have added the back archives of a number of different shows to Onsug Radio, and when I do, I add each episode to the “Grand Chronology”, a list of shows by release date. After recently adding “The Obtuse Angle” to the archive, I saw that around mid-2006, there were five different shows running around that time. I tried looking for one day on which all five shows had an episode, but that didn’t occur. But I did find a two-day span in which all five shows had an episode – Sunday, June 18 and Monday, June 19. Presented here, is those five episodes.
It’s an amazing snapshot of the early days of podcasting – just like listening to a series podcasts on your “podcatcher” 19 years ago!
