It's very generous of you to offer to donate a recorder, Parsons! The explanation of the tape flips is quite simple. We do use a nice digital recorder as a primary, but use a tape recorder as a backup. It is a holdover from Carla's seeming propensity to cause digital devices to malfunction. Also, the more complex electrical devices are, the more likelihood they have to fail, which seems to have even higher chances in such environments. You might remember equipment difficulties at Homecoming. That is not a rare thing. We use digital for quality and analog for reliability.
The tape flips are indicated as they do sometimes cause a disruption by the noise of flipping the tape, and cause the channeling to pause for a second.
We're even going to attempt to upgrade today, and use a laptop to record with one of the nice microphones we got for the podcast, so the audio quality will be even better. I have a feeling the tape player will always be present no matter how fancy we get, though.
Edit PS:
This is only a slightly relevant place to plug it, but did you know that we're putting up the audio of one recent Q'uo at a time to stream? It isn't being updated as often as it should, but you can take a listen to how the recordings sound and what Q'uo sounds like through Jim and Steve. The current one from November 21st, you can hear the sound of the tape being flipped around 45:35.
