The Overnightscape Underground

01:01:01 – This is a very special episode of the Rubénerd Show, possibly the best one ever. In a cute Philadelphia coffee shop in October 2016, I finally got to sit down with Jim Kloss; mentor, online confidant and dear friend. We set the record straight on Whole Wheat Radio, the pioneering independent online music community; and the NOCHANGE BBS system with its ingenious two factor authentication system and delightful inception. Along with Frank Nora and Israel Brown, Jim was the reason I started this audio magazine in 2005. It was a delight, and an honour to talk with him. I hope you feel the magic I did.

29:48 – Frank and Manny graciously showed us around New Jersey, and recorded such an epic Overnightscape I didn’t bother doing my own show from there! To keep the chronology of episodes accurate, this is a quick recap of this part of our trip, recorded back around my dad’s new place in North Arm Cove. Intro by ZAGAT.

(19:26) The show, “Hometownville”, wasn’t always the award-winning your-sides-will-ache audio program that you currently enjoy on ONSUG. About 7 weeks ago, Jimbo sat down and created this monologue, which was to be the beginning of Episode One.

You will hear voices you don’t normally hear in the “community igloo” and plenty of other strange stuff – including the ill-fated Mayor Whatchamcallit. Hold on to your loved one, this could be quite a ride!
