Our recent episodes on 1984 and Purple Rain have really put us in a particular mood, so now we're waxing nostalgic (pun intended) about the heyday of cassette culture! We're joined by author ROB DREW, whose new book Unspooled: How the Cassette Made Music Shareable examines the enormous impact that cassettes had on the music industry and cultural landscape. Our conversation ranges from the art and science of mix tapes to indie metal and punk bands who spread their music via cassettes, and from how the cassette changed the way artists recorded albums to congressional hearings to decide if home taping should be illegal.
