The Cassette Culture Podcast has launched a mini-series titled “Tapes Received: Industrial Music for Industrial People,” exploring the early underground cassette network through Throbbing Gristle’s Industrial Records newsletter from 1978–1980. Produced by Martin Franklin and co-hosted by Jerry Kranitz since 2025, the documentary podcast traces contacts listed in Industrial News’s “Tapes Received” section, which documented artists submitting homemade cassettes. The first episode, released May 28, 2026, features Val Denham, Philip Sanderson (Snatch Tapes, Storm Bugs), and Richard Rupenus (The New Blockaders), with Matt Johnson of The The appearing in a forthcoming episode. The series documents the international DIY mail network through which underground musicians exchanged cassettes and artwork during the 1980s–1990s, positioning Throbbing Gristle’s newsletter as central to this cultural history.
