The Regenstein Library opened in 1970 and soon became the center of social life on the University of Chicago campus.  One reason for its popularity were the comfortable study areas, including window alcoves with Pfister Lounge Chairs.

182 It's Eight (James 26)

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.

New episodes will be posted Sundays.
