This month's Cassette kicks off with an entertaining demo from interviewee, Jason Garrett/KVRY-FM, Phoenix! The rest of Side A is filled with spoof spots/promos. If you recall, last month Andy Capp suggested devoting The Cassette to spoof spots. We didn't get flooded with tapes, but we have a pretty good collection on Side A starting with the spot from Andy Capp that he talked about in his July column. Check out Andy's column from last month to refresh your memory before listening to the spot! Cut 5 was actually produced during the Gulf War period. We're still not sure about cut 6, but it's certainly off the wall. Some of you submitted multiple spoof spots. We'll keep the extras on file and spice up future Cassettes with them!

Side B kicks off with the promo from Reid Thrush that picked up the South Carolina Broadcasters' Association "Best 60-Second Promo for Large Market" award last month! Reid says the "concept for the spot was inspired by a spot on the July 1994 Cassette by Chris Duffy/WMMR-FM." Lots more great promos on Side B, and we wrap it up with a handful of well done commercials. Congrats to all on another impressive collection for the Radio And Production Cassette!
