Looking for recordings of Lois Maffeo’s KAOS radio show Your Dream Girl (1980s Olympia scene)
Hi everyone,
I’m trying to track down any recordings of Your Dream Girl, the radio show hosted by Lois Maffeo on KAOS (Evergreen State College) in Olympia, WA during the 1980s.
From what I understand, the show was pretty influential in the early indie / riot grrrl ecosystem, featuring a lot of female-fronted and DIY bands — but I can’t seem to find any surviving audio online (Internet Archive, YouTube, etc.).
So I’m wondering:
Did KAOS regularly archive shows back then, or was it mostly not recorded?
Does anyone here (or someone you know) have off-air cassette recordings of Your Dream Girl?
Are there any known archives (Evergreen State College, personal collections, zines, etc.) that might hold recordings or even partial tapes?
Even the smallest lead (a clip, a playlist, a mention in a zine, a person to contact) would be hugely appreciated.
Thanks so much 🙏
