In tape five, three stories: first, a tale of how the cassette tape
supercharged the self-help industry. Second, cassettes filled with history
make an epic journey across Africa with a group of Lost Boys. And finally,
Simon meets up with fellow Radiolabber David Gebel to dig through an old box
of mixtapes and rediscover the unique power of these bygone love letters.
Mixtape was reported, produced, scored and sound designed by me, Simon Adler,
with music throughout by me. Unending reporting and production assistance was
provided by Eli Cohen.Special Thanks to: Shad Helmstetter, Vic Conan, Glenna Salisbury, Jerry
Rosen, Richard Petty, Sharon Arkin, Angela Impey, William Mulwill for sharing
his cassettes with me, and to the British library for sharing some of their
recordings from their South Sudan collection, which is housed at the British
Library Sound Archive._Support Radiolab by becoming a member today at
