We dig into the mighty tape box and randomly select cassettes to listen to in the hopes of discovering an interesting home recording... and then we listen to our main cassette (the episode titles) and use our instruments to create a remix on the fly!
If you like cassette tapes then this is the podcast for you!

We chat about Dan opening up for a comedian before ever knowing what a open mic was, Joe and Dans shared connection to The Worm, Dans getting hypnotised experience and Shane workshops his new game show idea... as usual we pick tapes from the mighty unlabelled tape box in hopes of finding something interesting... (no spoilers for this section...) Then we play a main cassette and try to awkwardly jam with it while dan watches... This week's main cassette is: Fear of Flying, a cassette we found at a bootsale!
