Radio station turn tables dream
Nov. 26th, 2025 10:06 amI dreamed I was doing a show at the radio station. It had a different new studio in some sort of transition or rebuilding. There were 8 turntables laid out in an "L" shape on big long desks, and all the music was played from LPs. (In real life the station does still have 3 turntables - probably quite rare for radio stations now, but we have a number of record collector programmers. However it is not the dominant medium, and was never the exclusive medium for the station; even in the early '80s before CDs became common much programming from on reel-to-reel and cassette audio tape.) Anyways, the situation was frustratingly awkward, as I was doing a live show, while at the same time 2 other people were making a prerecorded show (what were they recording on? I guess digital, as no tape machine in my dream, which seemed to be intended to be current rather than '80s.) in the same studio. They were alternating using some of the same turntables, with different microphones sitting on the opposite side of the desks. There were also disordered stacks of LPs all around. I thought this was a sub-optimal way to try to do radio shows, but I plowed on doing my best.
