Joyce's KPFA program ''[[https://www.negativlandtruefalse.com/ote Over the Edge]]'' was (and is) devoted to themed mixes of sampled sound, commentary, and the all-important call-ins from listeners ("receptacle programming"), with snappy satire, crazed humor and a Firesign Theater-like cast of lunatic characters. Originally airing Sunday nights right after [[https://www.hos.com Music from the Hearts of Space]], it could be so jarring that Hearts of Space announcers used to remind listeners in their concluding remarks that "the next show is very different." You may still [[https://kpfa.org/program/over-the-edge/ hear Over the Edge at kpfa.org]] on Thursday/Friday nights at midnight Pacific time, hosted by Leidecker or by Rob "Krob" Cole of the ''Puzzling Evidence'' show which usually follows ''Over the Edge''. Past episodes, including nearly all of Joyce's shows, are at the [[https://archive.org/details/ote Over the Edge Radio Archive]] (as of June 24, 2020, [[https://archive.org/details/ote?and%5B%5D=addeddate%3A2020 150 of the very earliest episodes have been uploaded]], and on July 24, 2020, 201 more were added!!) Keep checking back at [[https://archive.org/details/ote?tab=collection the Over the Edge radio collection at archive.org]] as new (actually very old) episodes are added. Not only are people donating their personal recordings, but as of 2024, nine years after Don Joyce's death, there are ''still'' volunteers going through his immense cassette archive to digitize and upload them. [[note]]Mark sez, "While the early Negativland live mixes on ''Over The Edge'' were truly freeform examples of media collage, they also show Don Joyce's penchant for labyrinthine, slowly evolving and densely scripted radio narratives from the outset. Every second of media collage featured on this program is in fact broadcast backwards in time, a memorial made out of audio artifacts left behind by Earth culture - artfully combined and recombined by humans and the machines that succeeded them, for the entertainment of [[HomeworldEvacuation those surviving remnants of humanity, circling our dead planet in a manmade orbital cube]]. That is to say: the Universal Media Netweb provides Receptacle Programming for [[TheArk The Star]]. Just enough of a thread for you to find your own way through these early episodes, all of which pioneered improvised culture jamming for a select group of early Monday morning maniacs - the likes of which many of us never thought we'd get to actually remember for ourselves. But don't trust your memory."[[/note]] and post-Joyce episodes are listenable/downloadable on the KPFA website. Some of the best episodes were issued on tape and CD, and the band continues to make them along with the occasional in-studio album.
