When I used to tape long radio programs, I used to use video tape. No, really. A Hi-Fi stereo VHS VCR does a very good job of recording audio. Hook it up to a standalone tuner, and you can even set up the timer to record while you're away. And you can get eight hours on a standard tape in LP mode.
As for regular cassettes, last time I bought some, I got them from Batteries and Butter - they still had CrO2 tapes in stock, which have been getting hard to find as of late.
