The Unorganized Township of Bootstuck
5 episodes Last Updated: Apr 20, 25
An old box of randomly labelled cassette tapes is liberated from a garage sale and into the hands of a journalist who begins sifting through the contents and discovers random interviews with the citizens of a remote town known only as Bootstuck, a distant former military base in Ontario's northernmost region. The characters that occupy this abandoned outpost are colourful to be polite, unstable, unpredictable, or erratic to be direct but have all bypassed their obvious intellectual shortcomings to suss out an existence in this wild and challenging place.

TAPE 5 - Town Councils FitBit
Send us a textThis is another conversation between " Dave" and hat guy where they seem to be arranging a form of governance for Bootstuck in preparation for what sounds like an offer from big box stores to come into town. They also ramble on about fitbits and telephones but there is some progress in finding out just where exactly this place is. www.bootstuck.com

TAPE 4 - Sitting on a Strangers Meat
Send us a textCassette 10 introduces a new voice by the name of Dave who appears to be an authority figure around Bootstuck. This conversation leans towards the ways they deal with frozen food and the improper use of microwaves. The interviewer is missing from this tape and it sounds locally recorded somehow. Still no answers as to who these people are and their roles within the town but Im hoping future cassettes have some answers. www.bootstuck.com

Tape 2 - The Toggle Woggle Interview Hat
Send us a textThis tape was labeled “ 2 Toggle interviews “. It was in very bad shape with the exemption of two interviews with Hat Guy. We get a bit more understanding of the personalities of Bootstuck but no real answers as to who or where this place is. They sure like their hats though.www.bootstuck.com

Tape 1- Did you say Alligator?
Send us a textThe tapes are in rough condition but I was able to determine that this is the earliest recording. It appears to catch one of the earlier conversations with a man who is not identified while out on a boat. We will refer to him as Hat Guy until we find out otherwise. The interference sounds like shortwave or HAM radio which I’m assuming is how these conversations took place but there is nothing to indicate where or when the recording was made and most importantly, why. www.bootstuck.com
