Welcome to Auto Reverse! Here's a list of Frequently Asked Questions, also known as a "FAQ." Enjoy!
Auto Reverse is a function of the Sony Walkman™ and equivalent portable cassette players. It allows-
What is a cassette player?
Ok, so...Wikipedia is your friend. ANYWAY...Auto Reverse allows the listener to listen to the cassette continuously, without having to flip the cassette over to the opposite side.
At the time, it was kind of a big deal.
...also, it's the name of this radio show, airing Sunday nights 8-10pm on 107.7 FM New Britain-Hartford, The Edge.
What kind of music do you do?
Our motto is "Celebrating the legacy of the late 1900s." This is an absurdly vague statement.
This was intentional.
While the show's general focus has always been post-punk, new wave and alternative, it does not preclude us from playing whatever else strikes our fancy.
Who are you?
Mike is the host. Oftentimes he is joined by his co-host, Keith. Sometimes there is a special guest, and sometimes that guest will choose some or all of the songs. Our producer Danielle is crocheting in the background, overseeing the Mixlr chat. Our engineer Max is often lurking under the console, foraging for snacks.
Do you take requests? Can I be a guest on the show?
Surely! However...
We enter the studio on the night with a set playlist. If you'd like to request a song(s), email us at autoreverse1077 at gmail dot com and we will add it to the next available playlist.
Also contact us at that address if you would like to be a guest. As a guest, you can dictate all or some of the night's playlist, or just hang out in the studio.
Why aren't you on every Sunday?
As community volunteers, we are at the mercy of the university's schedule, as well as our own personal schedules. At times these schedules do not align, like when Mike goes on vacation, Max gets attacked by a dog, or the school is closed for winter break.
More questions to be added as needed.
