While around the time of the 2010 NHB telethon may have been one of the lowest points of the show, by telethon of 2011 things were quite up. Quite a lot happened over that year, that perhaps will be featured on a future podcast. But Niio reminded me of this epic telethon show in a recent tweet. This telethon show was the first under the name of Sub…

August of 2010 is a dark chapter in the history of The Amateur Hour. The show had been simulcasting on NHB Radio and WildBunch Radio on Saturday nights. The shows had a revolving cast of regulars that would come and go, and would often go late into the night, some shows going up to 6 hours. At this point in time, I had been a member of Rico's NHB M…

This past week, I did a little investigating into airfareprices, and dug up past emails of what I’ve paid for past flights tocompare. Which left me wondering – why didI fly across the country in May of 2013? Unable to find the answer in email archives of the time period, I pulledup a few shows from around that time, and determined it was for a wedd…

This past week, I officially retire my 2nd computer build, which has me going through the archives to put together the story of how this machine came to be, because much of it is lost to time. Records show I bought the parts from newegg in March of 2007, so I've turned to those shows to review for the story. Which has led me to this episode, a memo…

Another long, late into the night, Saturday night/Sunday morning Amateur Hour. Most of the first hour of music pre-show has been cut, for copyright purposes. I kept the beginning/intro to preserve the relevant ramblings that relate to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame topic that was discussed in the show, and to preserve the technical problems that oc…

From the time period where I was simulcasting on WildBunch and NHB - with an hour of a pre-show music show on WildBunch only. I've clipped out the first hour for copyright reasons. Joined by Venison88, Damon, Forge, and Leo. Later into the evening joined by Pedge. Recapping a recent visit to the East - reviewing recent avant-garde record purchases.…

Another show from the "lost era", courtesy of the Wild Bunch Radio archive of Zoe Ballz. From the era when the show would start at 11pm Eastern (8pm Pacific for me), and tended to go late into the night. This is one of our longer shows, running 5 hours and 45 minutes. For this show, I was joined by Dark Druidic Witch, Venison88, and Gothard. Veniso…

Earliest show in my collection with Venison as a co-host. Once thought lost - found in the Wildbunch Radio archives of Zoe Ballz. Gators, Gothard, Forge, and Venison discuss laundry room etiquette, and a great new software by Microsoft called SongSmith.By noreply@blogger.com (Jonny Gators)

A fill in show on Monday for Stink Tank Radio. A Gators only show. Lots of interesting calls. Vintage audio porn. It seems there were technical problems around the end of this show. The show ends mid-topic with a fade, which I must have created at the end of the file, but I don't remember why anymore. Perhaps the computer crashed and that's just wh…

The first official episode of The Amateur Hour, but technically the 2nd show. Gothard, who was going by the name Sean Scott at this period of time, was unable to be there, so this was a Gators solo show. I had sound card issues, which resulted in me using the onboard sound card for this show. While this had worked in the first show, this time aroun…

The first episode of The Amateur Hour took place due to a challenge from Damon to try and do better than him. It took place on a Monday night as a fill in for Stink Tank Radio. The show started late due to technical issues with the sound card, and so it starts with a pre-show that Damon did. The show was plagued with horrible sounds from the home b…
