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!

Join Mike in the studio on a Saturday night, recalling the combo-pigment of “caution” orange and “piss” yellow that made the school bus so special. Also, how do I know where JD Vance got his approach to foreign diplomacy? Because he grew up in my era, attending the same public schools that valued wrestling over civics. Speaking of bad education, we gotta get our kids out of this bad area — especially as the new SecEd Linda McMahon is invited to use the department as her own personal RAGE room.

Join Mike in the studio late at night as he mulls over the optics of our new, modern chaos. Not to get too political, but if Satan wants to really torture us for all eternity, he’ll need to do some redecorating in hell. Also, why the movie Eyes Wide Shut (1999) is becoming more of a documentary; the secret currency of the rich explains why we all hate Valentine’s Day; and how AI has made us that old man at Wendy’s training his 16-year-old replacement.

But some good news: The White Lotus is back on HBO, and Alabama has some of the best coffee in the world?
