Bob’s 8-Track Garage Sale
Thursdays 11:00 AM – 12:00 noon
On Bob’s 8-track Garage Sale, listeners can get a taste of 8-track music from the late 1960’s, 70’s and early 80’s. Though the technology was replaced by other formats, the 8-track remains a favorite among many avid collectors. Anders plays tracks directly from a 8-track player. The show was named as such because the host derived most of his 8-tracks from garage sales.
The show does not include just popular music from the heyday of the technology. It features music across genres available at the time. At one point, Anders had a 8-track player in his car. His track collection lay dormant for a while but he was still charmed by the technology. He started exploring his collection again a decade ago and looked into starting a radio show just a few years ago.
“KHOI has a remarkable forum for pursuing personal music interests. Such a show would not have been possible on a regular radio station,” Anders says.
Bob Anders & KHOI's "Bob's 8-Track Garage Sale" on IPTV
Iowa Public TV’s show, Greetings from Iowa aired a mini-documentary about Bob Anders’ KHOI show on November 12 and will continue to re-air it periodically for a year. According to Bob, “it was an amazing experience. Tyler Brinegar, the producer, told me that an IPTV producer was following KHOI on line, heard my show, and recommended that we cover Bob’s 8-Track Garage Sale.” Congratulations, Bob!
