Would anyone here like a collection of Prarie Home Companion cassette tapes?

Asked by LuckyGuy (43702points) May 26th, 2018

I loved that show. It had so much variety and clever humor. Unfortunately, I lived overseas for a number of years from the late 1990s to early 2000s and could not listen to it. My loving son painstakingly recorded the shows for me on new TDK AE120 cassette tapes so I could listen to them at my leisure. Nice!
The quality is excellent. Best of all you can listen with nobody else monitoring your internet connection and logging your IP address into some obscure data base. “Yep. Target this one! Obviously an NPR listening liberal!”
If you are interested, comment here and send me a PM. I’ll box them up and sent you the lot. Free! I’m guessing there are about 140 tapes in their cases and neatly labelled.
If you get tired of them you can even tape over them with something more to your liking!
Thanks for giving me the shelf space!

If I order now, what else do I get?

^ You get a 30 day supply of energy Boost. (not the real name). You know, the stuff Bob used to take!

Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner. Some “snowy” person PM’ed me. I’ll start boxing it up.
That was quick!
Thanks!

Oh, Lake Woebegon, where the men are sexual predators and the women can’t defend themselves. Let’s check in with the Secret Lutherans…...

@ScienceChick We must be listening to different tapes. ;-)
Lake Wobegone: where all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average.

I was aware of that. See? The women are strong!

In Lake Wobegon the women don’t mate with nor feed the bad guys. They shrivel up and turn into Norwegian bachelor farmers who shrivel up and die without leaving progeny.

I looked through my electronics last night, in preparation for responding. Amazingly, I have nothing that will handle a cassette tape. I used to have a half dozen device (early Walkman, boom boxes, etc.) but over the years got rid of all of them.

I’m surprised I didn’t have one old radio that could handle cassettes.

@elbanditoroso GoodWill has many cassette players and recorders if you ever need them. $5 will get you a reasonable unit.

@LuckyGuy – the way I see it, if I hadn’t needed a cassette player in the last 5 years, to the point where I had to look everywhere for one… then I probably don’t need one today.

That’s the way I used to be until I wanted to see the 8mm movie films my Dad took of my brother and me. Fortunately one of us saved the projector and movie screen.

I still have my slide projector and a couple thousand slides…

@elbanditoroso I’ve still got mine too. And my Nikon FTN and Nikkormat.
