Episode 7 - Tape to Tape
In Episode 7 of everyone’s favourite sports-flavoured, letter-writing podcast, former tennis aces Jeff (Rich) and Pat (Pete) expertly preview the start of the new football season, plug the Tennis World Tour computer game, and explain the rules of 10-pin bowling and letter-writing etiquette for your benefit. In Jeff’s latest letter, he reveals that he has been drinking a tad too much, encouraged by the lads’ old school friend Jeremy Bates on the Union bar (a job he may or may not have returned to after his tennis career wound up). In the film world, Dracula is reviewed (i.e. panned) but its fly-eating co-star Tom Waits is praised for his Closing Time LP.
Tunes this time come from Mr Waits himself, Neil Young and the Stereo MC’s – all music to the ears of Jeff’s new (in 1993), perpetually hungry tape-to-tape machine. The cassette tape as a musical medium is discussed, along with its influence on a new generation of artists. Jeff remains incredulous!
