Radar Three - Cassettes From My Ex

When Jason Bitner (FOUND magazine) discovered a mixtape in his mother’s basement from teenage love, Kate, he realized there must have been a reason he’d held onto the tape for so long. The reason? Memories. Realizing there were more stories of teen heartbreak and discovery from the cassette generation to be found, Jason wrote his, asked friends to contribute, and is now seeing the project go from tape to storytelling site to print anthology. Julie Gerstein (writer, NYLON, Dazed & Confused), Vinnie Angel (filmmaker & product designer), Michael Hearst (writer & composer) and The Magnetic Field’s Claudia Gonson discuss their involvement and the stories behind their tapes.
