I happened to see on Facebook today (I’m never on Facebook!) that my dear friend Scott Starkey was in an old-media digitization process and was asking for advice on getting audio from a cassette tape. Of a National Velveeta sketch we did on the radio in 1994. I’m the /archivist/, I’ve spent untold hours organizing and digitizing old VHS tapes and Hi8 tapes and scanning photos. I’ve seen that same tape in my cassette tape collection for years. So surely it’ll be the work of moments to send him a copy of the audio I surely captured years ago.

I don’t seem to have ever captured it.

And to add insult to injury, I don’t seem to know where cassette tapes are in the house right now. Fortunately, Shaun was able to lay hands on his copy this afternoon and I digitized it and cleaned it up a bit (the cassette we had is taped straight off the radio and included a Janet Jackson song in the middle).
