Themed mixes are made live and spontaneously on the air from a variety of formats and equipment. There is a plan and there is no plan.

OTE sometimes employs “Receptacle Programming,” which means you.
"How Radio Was Done" Part 19 (Solo) An early to mid 60s look at the Beatniks’ progress, the H bomb, People Are No Good, the words to Mission Impossible, Dylan rehearsing, top 40 blaring, MLK saved by not sneezing, and students revolting, but you’ll never walk alone – a double play!
"How Radio Was Done" Part 18 (Solo) In our patented one step forward and three steps back process of revealing history as if it happened on the radio, we begin around 1962 and don’t even get to ’66 again.

"How Radio Was Done" Part 13 (Solo): After reviewing how we got here, the late 50s roll on inside the radio with the history of Rock & Roll, a heavier Soviet A-bomb requiring a bigger rocket thrust which produces the first satellite, Beatniks reacting to American materialism, some communist Disney music, and Stan Freeburg and … Continued
"How Radio Was Done" Part 12 (Solo): Still stuck on the 50s with Elvis, Elvis, Elvis. Lots of 50s radio interviews, rarely heard early live performances including many of his earliest TV appearances, lots of his less familiar songs, and 50s media reactions to this emergence of blatantly suggestive sexuality. "Rock & Roll is here … Continued
