If you absolutely must have a copy of a particular
show, send me an e-mail.

Ever wonder how you can listen to The Night
Train Show when you're not close enough to receive a radio signal? If you have access to a computer and the
internet, listen on-line, or, for the technically-minded, see below for recording suggestions.
- The simplest way to record a Night Train Show is to use a "boom-box."
Tune its radio to The Night Train Show and start its cassette recorder to record what you're listening to. Turn the
cassette over to side 2 after its side 1 stops recording.
- Another way to record a Night Train Show is to use a hi-fi (stereo)
VCR. You'll need to hook your VCR to your stereo (radio) in a manner similar to the way you'd hook up a cassette deck
to record a radio program or a song. Use "patch cords" with the typical red/black (or red/white) RCA patch cords on
the ends. One end of the patch cord plugs into the "line-out," "rec" or "tape out" jacks on the back of your stereo,
while the other end goes into the "line in" or "REC" jacks of your VCR (usually denoted as Line 1, Line 2, L1 or
L2). By using your VCR instead of a cassette deck, you can record all 2 or 3 hours of a Night Train Show - uninterrupted
and in stereo hi-fidelity.
- As another recording option, you can hook your cassette deck to your stereo (radio).
Follow the same patch cord instructions as above. Of course, to record an entire 2-hour radio show, you'll need
to use one 2-hour cassette (not easy to find), or two cassettes of shorter time lengths. You also might miss 15 to 20
seconds during the recording process as the cassette changes tape directions half-way through the recording (when the recording
reaches one end of the cassette tape).
