This episode is one of Personality Crisis that Thomas Peake and Arthur Davis did at WREK on December 10, 1995. This was a fill-in episode with them covering for Jon Kincaid. Amusingly in the introduction they have no idea where Jon is or why they are filling in, but they cover nonetheless. This was digitized as the first of many shows to come from the archives of Thomas himself, lent to the project by Dena Peake.

Update: Here are scans of the sheet that was included with the cassette, which is the playlist itself and a flyer for the 1995 Shaking Ray Levis Snake Oil Festival.

This episode is a Sunday Special that Thomas did at WREK on September 3, 2000 in honor of the life and music of Witt Mills, who had died in a kayaking accident not long before. Thomas was joined in the studio by Shane Pringle, Tony Gordon and Brendan Digel. This included a lot of music that would later end up on the compilation Dust Collection Agency (still in print and available at that link.)

We continue to scour the Peake-osphere for tapes, CDs and any other representation of the man in audio form. Dena Peake has graciously lent a treasure trove of cassettes to the project and we'll be publishing those over the course of the coming year. If you find any of these recordings, please let us know at submit@peakecast.org. Also, please leave us any feedback or comments on the shows. This project exists to be of service to those who knew, loved, were fans of and miss Thomas Peake. Let us know how we're doing and how we can be of service to you. And don't forget the Peake Foundation!

Update: We also have a scan of the original playlist online as well.

Peakecast Episode One

This is an hour that Thomas did on the air for the WREK for the alumni weekend on July 18, 2004. This weekend was a celebration to commemorate the move from the old studios in the colosseum to the new space in the Georgia Tech student center. This show is notable in that it more or less contains Thomas' mission statement about his approach to music. This was unearthed by Dave Slusher and Chris Campbell from an MP3 archive of the weekend.
