    Okay, Steve, we should refrigerate Coolzey, I think. I was happier with the pseudo-NPR sound.

    An interesting question that requires someone like Mr. Shanafelt for an answer.

  3. Hrrumph. So much for answering listeners’ emails!

    Loved the line about ‘this franchise has had more farewells than David Bowie’. Replace with John Farnham for Aussie audiences.

    It’s on the list. This week’s conditions weren’t quite optimal.

    As you can see, some sort of downloadable thing has been added. Now you can download it and take me jogging with you — and it’s damn well the only way you’ll take me jogging.

    That is something that needs be taken up with Mr. Shanafelt or someone more tech savvy than I.

    We’re working on it. Maybe by next week we’ll have the iTunes syndication taken care of.
