The Overnightscape #634 (Tuesday, October 16, 2007 / 20:00 / 9.4 MB / theovernightscape.com) – Tonight’s subjects include: Embarking on a new experiment – a series of 20-minute episodes, Mercury retrograde hitting the show hard, audio equipment difficulties, the word “podcasting”, longform audio, a very special beverage review (a can of Japanese “Original Blend UCC Coffee” with a lot of history), EPCOT Center, another show, conspiracy theories, birthday presents, converting old media to digital (vinyl records, VHS tapes, etc.), record selling failure, Culture Club “Colour By Numbers” album, recordios, ancient tape recorder, vacuum tubes, VHS to DVD, “The Dirty Pair”, “Golgo 13”, a fragment of a super obscure TV show (“Q.E.D.” (1982)), and steampunk sci-fi.

634 M3U (useful for streaming in some situations)

Starting tomorrow, the “daily format” is coming back – for 12 days at least.

The Overnightscape has gone through a bunch of different formats over the years – weekly, daily, 1-hour, 2-hour, 30-minute, unlimited, etc. Lately the show has been in the “Completely Unlimited” format – in which shows of any length can come out any time. This upcoming series of 12 twenty-minute shows is still in the “Completely Unlimited” format – but depending on how the experiment turns out, it could lead to a new format.

This is not the “Secret Project” I’ve been talking about, though it is certainly related.

My motivation for this new “experiment” is that I think shorter, more frequent episodes could make it easier for new listeners to get into the show. And the way I do my post-production these days could make a daily show a lot easier for me to do than it was in the past.

I would love to hear everyone’s thoughts on this series!!
