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!

14:22 – Bit of a weirder one today; talking about the time last week when the trolls won! But I got some amazing feedback and some help, so maybe there are lessons here I can pass on. Have you heard of this thing called the block button? I should do that! Thanks again, will be a more normal episode next time.

25:15 – This episode is dedicated to the memory of Jim Kloss, whom I interviewed on the show in 2016 in Philadelphia. Jim was one of my dearest friends, a mentor in life, and a wonderful human being. Recorded late one evening wandering around a park in Sydney.
Jim was, along with Frank from The Overnightscape, the reason I got into internet radio back in 2003. I wouldn’t be uploading my thoughts in audio and text if it weren’t for his inspiration and words of encouragement. He will be missed, but remembered. ?
