In this episode I explain the origins and purpose of the Phone Messages podcast. I realized later that I had recorded only on one channel--apologies!

1 The Explanation

This podcast will play and discuss old phone answering machine messages.  In the late 1980s, while living in Chicago, I selected certain messages to be duplicated using a double cassette recorder.  Playing them back leads me to explore the intersection of personal history and the larger social and cultural context through the lens of an outdated technology.
New episodes will be posted Sundays.
