I found a bunch of old cassette tapes at my mom's house, and now I find myself digitizing some of these old recordings.

I was a journalism major at Georgia (in the pre-digital era), and one of the better group projects was to create a short radio play. SHABS Productions (aka Group #3) came from the first letters of our first names: Sarah, Harry, Amy, Baranda, and Sally.

 I remember this being fun to make in the WUOG prod room, with maybe two hours to record and maybe an hour to edit. I think we used commercial cart machines to record and trigger samples/music cues, CD players for music, and an old multi-channel radio board mixer, all mixed down on an Otari reel-to-reel. I recorded this from my cassette copy, but I do have the master reel.

I don't remember where all the music and sound effects came from, but you can clearly hear bites from De La Soul and Portishead.
