TRANSISTOR RADIO ARCHIVE 2010-2011

During these years, in Transistor’s original location at 5045 N. Clark Street, Transistor Radio was recorded live from 6:00 to 9:00 almost every Sunday night, with shows like The Roundtable, The Ryan Gatenby Show and The Silent K preceding the music shows that are presented below. It was during the recording of these music shows that Transistor’s ping-pong table came out; you can sometimes hear ping-pong balls bouncing around the table (and floor) when host Andy Miles is doing a voice break.

In 2011 we launched a series of in-store recorded performances called The Sunday Session.

Also available from this period: talk shows The Roundtable with Rani Woolpert, The Silent K with Brian Hischier and Jeremy Pautz, The Ryan Gatenby Show, and The Extended Pause hosted by Sayward Schoonmaker (“spoken word” might better characterize this special show). No longer available: shows recorded by “Planet Claire” Eijk, Sarah Luczko & Jeremy Alvarez, and Curtis Swank; thanks to you all.

And thanks as well to Mollie Merkel, who hosted the short-lived series “The Mollie Merkel Interview Show”; episodes were recorded on Sunday nights in 2010 and have sadly been lost. Among her guests were comedian Health Cordts and actor-dancer Patrick Andrews.

Mollie is pictured here with Andy Miles in Transistor Radio’s original Clark Street studio at the back of Transistor. The window looked out into the shop, and Transistor’s orange stage was just beyond the window. Sometimes Mollie would record interviews on that stage, leaving Andy behind the glass at the control board. (The reel to reel machine in the corner was merely décor.)
