Warm from the oven: Thursday’s show!

Yes, the stream & download versions of this week’s is available on the archive.

Ya know, I just realized that the lo-bandwidth streaming version sounds really inferior; the sacrifice for it being so so lo. I do know, however, that it works on slow dial up modem style old school internet connections.

But, if you are blessed w/ broadband, fer gosh sakes, click on the downloadable link. Your ears will thank ye.

Ladies & Gentlemen, your playlist…
