As I listen to the backlog of Lost in the Stacks from #WREK911fm I find some interesting stuff. This episode from September 2017 is all about the cable access show The American Music Show. It ran from 1982 to 2003. I was in #Atlanta for 10 of those years but I never heard of it. It was the first time series regular Ru Paul ever appeared on TV amongst other landmarks.

On LITS they talk with the Emory University archivist who received 752 VHS tapes constituting the whole run of the program. As of the time of recording they were in the process of digitizing and you had to go to the Emory library to see them. What would be fantastic is if today they were all digitized and could be given to @newellijaytv . Probably there are rights issues or something that would be a headache for @ajroach42 but a kid can dream. There are so many episodes they could run it daily and it would take 2 years to get back to the beginning.

The Turned Out A Punk podcast can really be a weird animal sometimes. The episode that dropped today is with Daniel Kubinski of Die Kreuzen. That's a band I love and used to subvert the #WREK911fm automation system to make it play "Elizabeth" much more often than it was formatted for. So I am in all ways the ideal audience for this.

It's also 3 hours and 40 minutes long. Even for a subject and guest that I'm way into, that is a test of patience. I personally would have maybe made it two 2 hour episodes or three 1:10 episodes. I'm listening now but this is a real test of patience.

WREK - the Georgia Tech student FM station at 91.1 FM in Atlanta - has had podcast feeds almost as long as there have been podcast feeds. One week after I started my podcast, I wrote a script to generate some RSS feeds for some of their programs. These were the ongoing Subgenius programs The Hour of Slack and Bob's Slacktime Funhouse as well as the now defunct programs The Desoto Hour and Personality Crisis. The reason for this was simple - I wanted to subscribe to them.

To be clear, these feeds have always been a bootleg proposition. I once offered the station to take control of them and they made it clear they wanted nothing to do with them. I suspect it is because their music license is for streaming and not on-demand or some other legal ambiguity. I didn't ask. Because they offer a rolling archive of the previous week's programming, it was not challenging. I'm just writing the thinnest layer that points to their own resources and that's that.

Recently I did the first gardening of the feeds in a long time. I removed the defunct shows, I adjusted formats to schedule changes and added in some missing formats like jazz and rock. In an effort to keep all this information together and accessible, below is a list of everything with a podcast feed. If you as a listener want a specialty show or format not listed, email me at [email protected] and I will see what I can do.
