I started using a VCR to record Dr D shows in 1986 or 1987.
Still record it that way (it's nice that the VCRs nowadays are
stereo). It's set for "same time each week", so I never have to worry
about setting the timer. As long as the patch cord is connected to
the stereo and the stereo's on the right station, I get the show.
Makes it a lot easier to deal with when I'm out of town.
I record from the video tape to cassette tapes. When I have enough
shows built up (eight, usually), I feed them into the computer,
convert to MP3s and burn a CD-ROM disc. I've got 80 or 90 of the
discs now...haven't missed a show since sometime in 2001.

I bought a Zenith VCR back in the mid-1980s for around $800 that I was
able to connect to my stereo receiver. I recorderd the shows and
time-shifted to listening to them the next few nights after work.
After several weeks I recycled the tapes - though now I wish I didn't.
Still have the VCR, although it now has a bad habit of refusing to
eject the tape, so its been retired. I keep it for sentimentla
reasons.

I thought I was probably the only one who thought of hooking up a vcr to
the radio to record Dr. D. I did this back in '94 when a local station
ran it for a year and a half, and again when WKTG started running it a
couple of years after that. The original game plan was to dub them off
onto cassettes, but that never got done. I still record them onto a
video tape, but now I burn them onto DVD's. Now I've got several years
worth of shows to go though. If WKTG stops running the show, I'll have
plenty of shows to catch up on for a while.
