This second part of Frank’s journey to Governors Island was not played on The Overnightscape and is available exclusively here on Station Unlimited.

This first part of Frank’s journey to Governors Island was played in its entirety on The Overnightscape #536 (9/4/06).

Recorded on Saturday, July 29, and Sunday, July 30, 2006. On this Audio Field Trip, my wife Denice and I travel from northern New Jersey to a wedding in western Massachusetts. Phil and Sarah, listeners to The Overnightscape, are getting married at a Quaker retreat called “Woolman Hill”. On this recording, you’ll hear about the long drive up, the creepy motel, arrival at the wedding, the wedding ceremony, walking through a cornfield the next day, visits to the Yankee Candle Flagship Store and the Hampshire Mall, and much more.

This release consists of the raw unedited audio (minus the corrupt segments). It is a long, rambling piece of audio, and the “narrative” suffers a bit from the loss of some of the segments. But there is a lot of interesting and very varied stuff in this audio. Hopefully I’ll do an edited version at some point that will be an easier listen.

Frank visits the Handspun Collective at the Renegade Craft Fair at McCarran Park in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. Complete spinning wheel audio. (Edited version heard on The Overnightscape #483).

I went to check out the opening of the new Apple Store Fifth Avenue and I wound up recording over 2-and-a-half hours of audio! Instead of waiting weeks or months to edit it and play it on the show, I figured I’d release the raw audio right away for your listening pleasure… nothing edited (except a few phone numbers I had to bleep). Ben from CodedSignal.com pretty much became my co-host at one point. I met a bunch of other podcasters there – it was a lot of fun! (P.S. Gaurav got in at 9:50 PM.)

This journey starts off with me and Peter Litkey driving to pick up his friend Brian. We then go to see Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith. Afterwards, we drive around very wealthy areas of New Jersey, visit Pete’s old school, and Pete’s car reaches 200,000 miles. Along the way we talk about many interesting things!

Recorded on May 28, 2005, I kept meaning to edit it and play it on the show, but I never got to it. So as time went on, it became known as “The Lost Audio Field Trip”. Now, it is released in all of its 2+ hour glory!

“The Audio Field Trip” is a feature on The Overnightscape where I go out into the world and record various adventures and activities. Most of these are edited and played in their entirety on the show – but two of them are special cases. The first one is “The Audio Field Trip #1″, which I was only able to play a very little bit of on The Overnightscape #20 (7/24/03). This is the complete recording.

On this trip, I go on “The Iselin Run”, driving down to my storage unit in Iselin, NJ. This full audio was played for a while in 2003 on the Bluffcosm “live stream”, and was then released as one of the “Second Anniversary Bonus Releases” back on March 27, 2005. This release has much better audio quality.
