Taylor Jessen, the Firesign archivist, on "Over the Edge":

Don Joyce continues his massive riff on the way radio is NOT done on
his show "Over the Edge" on KFPA-FM Berkeley.

Expect to hear lots of Firesign Theatre, Bob and Ray, Casey Kasem
outtakes and more surreal cultural jamming.

Part four includes a never-before-heard interview with David Ossman
telling the story of how he got fired from NPR for commissioning a
piece by John Cage for "The Sunday Show." (David told me over the
phone and I sent a CD to Don - you can hear it beginning at
approximately the 30-minute mark.)

The address of KPFA's music server has changed since Brian Westley
kindly tracked it down on August 26, so here are new addresses for all
