10:45 The Rest Is History: The legacy of the cassette

Wellington songwriter William Daymond is a librarian with the Alexander Turnbull Library. Part of his job is managing and conserving the cassette tape collection. Given the death of Lou Ottens, the Dutch engineer credited with inventing the audio cassette tape, just last week, we thought we'd get William on to talk about his job, especially his work with the Flying Nun collection.
