I never thought we'd see the day. But as it happens, Blank Cassette is taking a brief hiatus soon, and fellow podcast producer/friend of the show Gary Lucy suggested that now might be a good time to look back on the episodes that were, so to speak. So I present to you the first of two Blank Cassette mega-mixes from this first run of the show -- a highlighted track from each (non-Eric) episode plus fond memories, trivia, insight, etc. into the creation of the show. Maybe you will find that interesting! Or maybe you only care about the music! Either way, this is the reality we're living in now, so here ya go.
