In 1995 the first go-round of AHA! Productions produced a one hour radio show called Roadside Attraction. The program was syndicated nationally on the Fine Arts Network. When we first heard of the release of the Real Audio Player in a news story, we moved very quickly and got Roadside Attraction on line at Audionet.com, which happened to be owned by Mark Cuban. For a while the only things streaming online were Roadside Attraction and Newt Gingrich's weekly address. You might say we were the original podcasters.

Here are some of the episodes of Roadside Attraction from that time. The good news is that we found some old DAT tapes and we're trying to rescue more episodes.

And hey, it might not work at all. That's an internet era thing having to do with servers and hosting companies and Terms & Conditions and bandwidth and all that.
