Hold on, I got to flip the tape over.

Except for all those tapes that had a 5-minute or 10 minute difference between a side and the b side because they didn't line it up right. You just sit there hearing wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow as you wait for it to ff to the end of the tape.

Road trips with Prairie Home Companion on tape, Dad was at the wheel, and Mom flipped the tapes. I didn't quite grok that there was a big plastic case full of cassettes, so hearing "turn to side eight" mystified me, because surely tapes could only have two sides, right?
