To celebrate the 7th Anniversary of The Overnightscape, I have launched a new website: FrankNora.com

On this site, you can listen to my entire radio archive in a convenient, web-based player – all of The Overnightscape, The Rampler, The Overnightscape Underground, and a whole lot more! There’s never been an easier way to listen to the archive – which currently stands at 1,865 tracks with 1,618 hours of audio (67.4 days).

—————————————————————————

I came up with the idea for The Overnightscape on Thursday, March 13, 2003. I was on my way home from work in NYC, riding the PATH train back to NJ. Here’s exactly what I wrote on my Palm Pilot:

3/13/03 6:54 pm

non-meta half-hour talk show, just me

3/13/03 7:03 pm

the overnightscape
nightscans

I went home, set up my recording system, and started recording the show at around 9:55 PM – less than 3 hours after I wrote down my idea for the show and its name (wow, just think, it could have been called Nightscans…) What I recorded was The Overnightscape Beta #1 – the first of two test shows I did before releasing the first official episode two weeks later.

Hear these and all the rest on FrankNora.com!

—————————————————————————

After a bit of chaos in the past few years, The Overnightscape has evolved into The Overnightscape Underground – still essentially the same, but with a slightly different configuration.

It’s been 7 years, and the pleasantly insane rambling is still going strong – and getting more insane all the time!!!

Enjoy the archive!
