25th Anniversary of Some Assembly Required

A condensed remix of these appearances was incorporated into the 25th anniversary special,
Presented here is a more detailed look back on Radio K's specialty programming, in April, 2001.
Yes, it's got an annoying central character who won't shut up about his new radio show, but aside from that, it's a fairly fascinating look into a couple of weeks at a midwestern college radio station, in early 2001.
