Night Listeners - How did we get here? 100 episodes. 100 times I have setup my laptop to record/edit a show usually the morning of the first broadcast. I remember thinking several times, "It's midnight and I have to leave for the airport by 3:30AM. I still have to record the show." IBT has never about making money, it has been about keeping this music alive. The only way to keep music alive is to keep forever circulating. Back in the day it was about trading tapes and CDrs, now its about sharing digital files and broadcasting these tunes as much as possible. There is no reason to keep this music around except to preserve Iowa's history in DIY and alternative culture and really that is enough. Iowa Basement Tapes has its own archive of Iowa music.
