The cassette tape toppled regimes, hypnotized us, remade how we say "I love you," and broke reality along the way. Discover how with MIXTAPE, a miniseries from Radiolab.
In five episodes from around the world, MIXTAPE explores the power of a seemingly humble piece of technology: the cassette tape. This revolutionary device was recordable, rewritable, spliceable, compact, mobile, and allowed you — for the first time — to move through the world while listening to a voice speaking only to you.
Produced, reported, scored and sound designed by Radiolab's Simon Adler, MIXTAPE reveals the cassette tape's impact on music, but also far beyond it. The series shows the surprising way rock and roll penetrated Communist China — through recycled cassette tapes; how this new technology fueled the fledgling self-help industry; and how sound became a weapon in the Vietnam War.
