The neat thing about listening to the episodes again and again is that each time I pick up something I missed before.....or perhaps I just forgot I heard it. ...
Listening digitally is great, I can replay what Erling Biggs says on the radio awards show over and over, some of the best lines, remind me of HL Mencken....

Make that 59! Happy Birthday Paul, wherever you are!...
I think I have it, the noise is taken from aboard that floating block of ice that had those Voyageurs in it from 1690 that tried to traverse the northwest...
