Direct from 1974 and the kindness of Brent Turner, we present another episode of the Top 40/Sci-Fi radio show The OIDAR Wavelength! For those just tuning in, The premise of the OIDAR Wavelength is that it is/was a musical program from the future, playing oldies from the 20th Century, and somehow, we back in the seventies were/are able to hear the program due to some space/time continuum. In between the (sometimes good, sometimes horribly horribly wretched) musical fodder, a mysterious announcer known only as "Programmer #9" relates twisted news and human interest stories from the future, the programs' present. It's kinda like Philip K. Dick doing American Top 40! Where were these recordings unearthed? It seems that Mr. Turner was at a local swap meet and came across a whole box of OIDAR Wavelength reel to reel tapes! And he sent some programs to me and now I share them with you! Remember, this was originally broadcast in 1974. In Los Angeles, the OIDAR Wavelength aired on KKDJ, a typical Top 40 station, usually starting just after the midnight hour. The file is hosted at Mediafire, so lemme know if all goes well when you try to download this 79mb file!

I am absolutely totally thrilled to have found another episode of this show! I've had this episode (#28) for a while, but the christmas one is a total blast. I really want to hear more, if anyone knows where any can be found.
