Side A opens with a sample of work from this month's interviewee, Stephen Smith of KRNT/KRNQ in Des Moines. If you've never heard penguins, you'll like cut 2! The rest of the side is filled with more outstanding commercial production. Kudos for everyone!

Side B opens with a sample of work Dennis Daniel did in Mike Sapone's basement studio as written about in this month's Tales of the Tape column. Cuts 2 and 3 are from Rick Tarrant/Communion Communications. Cut 2 won an Addy in the PSA category. Cut 3 was heard on the Rush Limbaugh show and pokes some fun at the recent check writing scandal. John Dodge (RAP Steal This Script! columnist) offers up a well done piece for Mother's Day on cut 4. Cut 5 is a unique open for an audition tape! We fill up the rest of side B with some hot promo production from Canada to Australia!
