A frequent trope in movies and TV shows, is for someone to give a potential suitor a fake phone number as a way to avoid further contact.  One must be careful not to write the number on something of value.

129 A Very Silly Message (unknown)

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me to explore the intersection of personal history and the larger social and cultural context through the lens of an outdated technology.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.
