After years of not having a cassette player, I unearthed a pile of decades-old cassettes of work I did at WLRH in Huntsville, Alabama, so I went out and got a $10 cassette deck from Goodwill and have been transcribing some old audio. Here are a couple of “commercials” I produced for the morning show I co-hosted. Public radio doesn’t do this sort of thing anymore, for which it gets the thanks of a grateful nation.
The cassettes are old enough that I’m surprised anything comes across at all. Speed regulation on the Aiwa deck, usually a problem with older cassettes, is actually pretty good. But the frequency response is a bit dodgy.
These two are the best I’ve found so far. I had totally forgotten about Mainstream Mammals. Have fun, if possible.
First chance to check on your blog for a while. Mobile site option reads nice (& mp3s play well) on my Palm Pre. Thought I might forward your ‘Mainline Mamals audio to a friend living in Florence AL, but had to chuckle at the MusicExplosion coming in 8 track! Hope you are well … I do miss WMUB.
I’d like to have visited the soon-to-open Reptile Ranch!
