The $3 charge for each 3-5 hour long show is essentially a "donation" from you to Negativland to help offset our costs of operating and maintaining the OTE archive.

How Radio Was Done Part 79

’84 continues with lots of Star Wars, High Frontier, Reagan, Larry King mixes Central and South American machinations, and nuclear offense and defense (the “Nuclear Shield” edit), and Communists on the brain with The Art Of Noise. Also, big chunks of OTE from ’84, including transitions, mean cop blues, Time, Pain, and too many F.U.s, but we did it anyway. Callers call, music and DJs from the year, and more to come.
