Fellow autistic here, had feeling that’s where this video was going. I was considered “gifted” in the 80’s during elementary school, we had no formal program at my small school, though. Found your channel while trying to learn to repair a thrifted vhs tape that wouldn’t play. Happy to report I was successful. Appreciate your content.
I volunteered on a few community access shows as a high schooler in the late 80s. A movie review show, local concerts and parades, community call-in, that sort of stuff. When we needed to show stills from a movie during a review, we'd put 8x10 prints from the EPK (electronic press kit) sent by the studio up on a rostrum with a camera pointed at it and cut to them as needed. Why no digital stills? Because they didn't exist. At least not with our hand-me-downs.
I feel like Paul and I went when we were in Grade 5, doing the 1 day a week program at JLR Bell. I know that our teleplay was Terry Fox meeting Napoleon in heaven, though all l I remember from the actual meeting was that we bumped into each other. Absolutely adored our time at Rogers Cable.
I do have that! Thanks for the reminder! That's a more painfully detailed tour that could use a good paring-down, but will be fascinating to people to see what used to be inside a radio station, even a tiny one.

Well wasn't that fun - love the relaxed vibe of this video - Great job Scott.

Great video, Scott. Keep it up! Did you find that radio station tape thing, yet? I'd love to hear that story.
