Davis Bates

Lazy shows with hours of storytellers, poets and long winded people. Davis Bates was traveling through eastern NC telling his stories, leaving audiences dazed by the imagery of his words…. A sapling of the forest of words awaiting you.

Studio A: This Vintage Podcast is from a Public affairs show airing on the radio in the late eighties. Recorded on Reel to Reel tapes, played for the first time in 30 years. Audio issues occur playing analog tape which has been dormant for so long. Once a large inventory of digitized Reel to Reel tapes has been accomplished, restoration and rerecording can begin.

College Radio Series: In the late 1980’s, Raleigh’s music scene was recognized internationally from Comboland’s success. Even with a vibrant music and club scene, many bands found it hard to get their music on local commercial radio. These Reel to Reel recordings were syndicated over five North Carolina college radio stations in the late eighties. Some of the music is lost, only surviving on albums and studio recordings.
