Background
After being born in the early 1980s, in the era of Revox red-to-reels and cassette tapes, The Nixon Tapes has morphed into a new podcast about aviation and other matters.
While waiting for the new platform to be finalised, listeners are treated to the archive of radio performances, delivered in the podcasting format.
Theme
Listen to the show's theme HERE
A KPM track, 21 Denmark Street was released in 1981 and we used it in the 3AW Beach Promotions.
The theme has been mashed with an Air Traffic Control warning from a US Warship to a Royal Air Force aircraft flying towards them, the iRadio MAX theme, (as homage to Max Walker, who pioneered "internet-narrowcast radio" in Australia); actual recordings of President Nixon, various sound effects and Airbus cockpit attention-getters.
Intended for headphone users, the President's remarks flit from left to right, and back again.
The intro lasts 55 seconds before fading.
The outro fades-up under the voice-over, the last 30 seconds is a stylised instrument landing approach and touchdown, complete with altitude callouts and auto-pilot disconnect.
Again, President Nixon makes an appearance: "Just think how much you're gonna be missing me. You don't have Nixon to kick around anymore." Then the tape grinds to a halt.

The music track takes its name from 21 Denmark Street London aka "Tin Pan Alley" which was the centre of the recording industry. It is being rebuilt. This picture taken in September 2018.
