The Onsug Archive stands at almost 16,000 hours of audio and is indeed The Motherlode of Listening Pleasure. As it’s a non-commercial project, we need your help. With the goal of preserving the archive on into the far future, here is a list of the current place to find different versions of the archive.
Onsug Radio on Internet Archive – the is the full, hi-fi version of the archive.

Pocket Edition on Internet Archive – the is the full archive, where each “channel” has been merged into one lo-fi file.

Part 2: archive.org/details/Onsug_Radio-Pocket_Edition-Part_2
onsug.com and theovernightscape.com – these are the main websites, but due to hosting limitations, only the past 2–3 years of shows are playable (though all posts ever made are still viewable). Older posts could be linked to the Internet Archive, but it would be a very time-consuming manual process.
Onsug Radio Portable – this is a new lo-fi archive, containing all the files individually (as opposed to the merged files of the Pocket Edition). Currently a work in progress, this archive fits on a 256 GB flash drive. I plan on sending out a limited number of flash drives in the near future. As well, the same files will be made available in cloud storage, so that anyone with a flash drive could update it monthly.
Notes – each month, a new Channel is added containing that month’s releases. As well, sometimes new Channels are added for archival shows.
Each Channel contains a set of audio files. The first set of 129 Channels (100s–800s) was set up around March 2016. So this set contains everything up to March 2016, organized by shows/hosts (with some later additions thrown in). The 900s–1000s series, Starting in April 2016, presents all the shows released each month.
Note that the Channel numbers are not sequential, but were set up so new Channels could be inserted in each section as needed.
There are two audio quality levels available – hi-fi and lo-fi. Hi-fi is the shows as they were originally released, generally at 128kbps stereo, but some have different formats. The lo-fi versions have been converted to around 24kbps mono – making for much smaller files, but still quite listenable.
