The Frank Nora Show has a new website – show.franknora.com. (It can also be reached via franknorashow.com). And it’s easy to find on the iTunes Store.

Additionally, you can hear it (along with many other great shows) on The Overnightscape Underground – a wild frontier of Internet radio experimentation – enter if you dare!

The Frank Nora Show is a direct continuation of Frank’s previous shows - The Overnightscape (2003-2009) and The Rampler (2008-2009).

With a brand new episode released most weekdays, the show is still going strong and is better than ever – tune in and check it out!

For all my new shows, go to ONSUG.COM

See you there!!

To celebrate the 7th Anniversary of The Overnightscape, I have launched a new website: FrankNora.com

On this site, you can listen to my entire radio archive in a convenient, web-based player – all of The Overnightscape, The Rampler, The Overnightscape Underground, and a whole lot more! There’s never been an easier way to listen to the archive – which currently stands at 1,865 tracks with 1,618 hours of audio (67.4 days).

—————————————————————————

I came up with the idea for The Overnightscape on Thursday, March 13, 2003. I was on my way home from work in NYC, riding the PATH train back to NJ. Here’s exactly what I wrote on my Palm Pilot:

3/13/03 6:54 pm

non-meta half-hour talk show, just me

3/13/03 7:03 pm

the overnightscape
nightscans

I went home, set up my recording system, and started recording the show at around 9:55 PM – less than 3 hours after I wrote down my idea for the show and its name (wow, just think, it could have been called Nightscans…) What I recorded was The Overnightscape Beta #1 – the first of two test shows I did before releasing the first official episode two weeks later.

Hear these and all the rest on FrankNora.com!

—————————————————————————

After a bit of chaos in the past few years, The Overnightscape has evolved into The Overnightscape Underground – still essentially the same, but with a slightly different configuration.

It’s been 7 years, and the pleasantly insane rambling is still going strong – and getting more insane all the time!!!

Enjoy the archive!

Welcome former listeners of The Rampler on WFMU to the Exit Ramp Forum.

Though I was hoping to continue the show, The Rampler was not picked up for the Fall 2009 – Spring 2010 WFMU schedule.

There are two episodes remaining – I’ll do the show this Friday night / Saturday morning (October 3 – my birthday), and next week, October 10.

The reason for the cancellation, as I understand it, is twofold. First, it’s a very competetive schedule – a lot of very talented people want to get on the air on WFMU. Secondly, The Rampler really is on a very different “wavelength” from the other programming on the station, and so has been having a hard time “fitting in”.

I do think that given time, The Rampler may have been able to be a success at WFMU – but I understand it’s very hard to give a show like mine that kind of time, considering how many other shows are clamoring to get on.

So while I am disappointed, I do understand the decision and I think it may be for the best. Can only bash a square peg into a round hole for so long before it becomes tiresome for everyone involved.

I’ll remain on good terms with the station, and I may be back on the air in some capacity in the future.

With this, my sole remaining “radio” outlet will be The Overnightscape Underground (onsug.com) – which I do plan on continuing (and it’s been going great, and is better than the WFMU show anyway).
