Part 2: Man Vs. Machine
Two tales of man and machine: In the first, a man travels through space with a robot that wants to kill him… as would anyone, the man being extremely annoying. And in the second, the true story of a man who used a tape recorder to document every minute of his life, for three years. [Original broadcast Season 8]
Part of this week's WireTap was produced by David Weinberg of the Random Tape podcast. His story features songs from his friend Mark's band Masks Phantom. Special thanks to Roman Mars.
