Listener comments!
	7/25 7:59pm John R: Thank you Austin!
	🎸 ♥ 4:57pm Austin Rich: I haven't even started yet, and the accolades have begun! Thanks, John R!
	5:58pm Listener Robert: Maybe you've heard this before, but your opening chimes "translate" from the original to "BCN". Any implied connection to a current or former WBCN?
	♥ 6:00pm Scott67: G'day Austin & Audience! ☕😎🤙🎶📻🌻🌏
	🎸 ♥ 6:01pm Austin Rich: Good Hello, Listener Robert and Scott67! I didn't even think about that connection, Listener Robert! That's very clever. I was merely thinking of a way to re-arrange those chimes in an amusing way. But I should have thought of that!
	6:01pm Ellen Lovebug: I literally structure my Mondays around Box 13. Sorry I missed the set up....
	6:01pm Mike Rogers: Hi Austin san! Greetings from Japan!
	🎸 ♥ 6:02pm Austin Rich: Good Hello, Ellen! And Mike!
	6:02pm Ellen Lovebug: Wow, konichi-wa
	♥ 6:02pm Feldy: Does ACME make a Ham-Strawberry soda?
	6:02pm Ellen Lovebug: I don't think asparagus soda is a think...but I have drunk celery soda, which is a thing in Jewish delis in the midwest (really)
	6:02pm Charles: Steak and Ketchup! Acme hits the mark again!
	6:02pm spacebrother: Hair and Hounds sounds like a great pub.
	6:02pm John R: Good afternoon Austin and gang!
	6:03pm Mike Rogers: こんにちは！ Konnichi ha!
	6:03pm Ellen Lovebug: www.seriouseats.com...
	🎸 ♥ 6:03pm Austin Rich: Feldy: I'll recommend it at the next board meeting!
	6:03pm Ellen Lovebug: Susie, be safe!
	🎸 ♥ 6:03pm Austin Rich: Good Hello, Charles & spacebrother!
	6:04pm Ellen Lovebug: Susie is all shaken up
	6:04pm egould: Goddammit Suzy. Not again. Smh
	6:04pm Ellen Lovebug: She was right! What a sweet thing to say
	🎸 ♥ 6:05pm Austin Rich: The "chimes" Listener Robert was talking about at the beginning of the show was a joke that I stole from myself: I made them for a 90 minute supernatural radio noir story I produced a few years ago: marcuslittleadventures.com/
	6:05pm Ellen Lovebug: Prosaic! Great word
	🎸 ♥ 6:05pm Austin Rich: Good Hello, egould!
	6:05pm Ellen Lovebug: Aw, a fan
	🎸 ♥ 6:06pm Austin Rich: "One never can tell, can they."
	6:06pm Ellen Lovebug: Fun haha
	6:06pm Ellen Lovebug: The guy stole the letter! OY VEY
	6:06pm Mike Rogers: OK. Hate to sound dumb, but is that "Alan Ladd" talking for real?
	🎸 ♥ 6:07pm Austin Rich: It really is! Alan Ladd had a very long radio career.
	6:07pm Ellen Lovebug: Oh my. Whatever that object is...I hope he gets it back
	6:07pm Mike Rogers: Wow!
	6:07pm Mr Fab: Yes, Mike - he's tall on the radio. They don't have to make any boxes for him to stand on.
	6:07pm Ellen Lovebug: He needs to get in touch with Holmes
	6:08pm Ellen Lovebug: Dramatic music cue!
	🎸 ♥ 6:08pm Austin Rich: Alan Ladd even owned the production company that produced this show. If you like this, ALL of the Box 13 episodes are sort of like this.
	6:09pm Mike Rogers: Wow! Sounds from the end of an era!
	6:10pm Mike Rogers: Was Alan Ladd very short?
	6:10pm Mr Fab: Oh yeah. We're talking Tom Cruise short.
	🎸 ♥ 6:10pm Austin Rich: I always like to point out the date: 27 February, 1949. While there's nothing significant about the date, and this show almost never does anything related to the time of year, I like to imagine people at home, on a cold night, huddled around the radio, listening to this story.
	6:11pm Mike Rogers: I didn't know. Is Tom Cruise short too?
	6:11pm Listener Robert: I love how certain characters can get so many concussions without brain damage.
	🎸 ♥ 6:11pm Austin Rich: Alan Ladd was 5' 7", according to his wiki. But I think, compared to many of his contemporaries, who were often 6' and higher, he looked short.
	6:12pm Mike Rogers: That little Punk kid! Ha! Ha! ha!
	🎸 ♥ 6:13pm Austin Rich: (Tom Cruise is also 5' 7". A lost of male actors are often over 6', so he's still considered short.)
	🎸 ♥ 6:13pm Austin Rich: If I'm not mistaken, I'm only 5' 8".
	6:14pm Ellen Lovebug: Dan is so intrepid and quick on his feet. I love him
	6:14pm Mike Rogers: It must have been a pain in the butt to make these kinds of radio dramas. All the editing! Urgh!
	6:14pm Mr Fab: Funny story here about putting Alan Ladd on boxes, tall costars in ditches, so no one loomed over him: www.theguardian.com...
	♥ 6:14pm Feldy: Hearing the show via your mic Austin
	6:14pm Ellen Lovebug: Wow. How funny
	6:14pm Charles: There's a sound issue similar to last week Austin
	6:15pm Mike Rogers: Ha! Austin san! I idenitfy as 7'8" and eat punks like Tom Cruise for breakfast! Ha Ha! Ha!
	6:15pm Ellen Lovebug: That rose to a triumphant swell :)
	6:16pm Ellen Lovebug: Baking soda is underrated. It can absorb refrigerator odors and be used in cleaning and in toothpaste, as well as in baking
	6:16pm John R: Austin, come in Austin….
	6:16pm spacebrother: Yeah, some tech issue. Sounds like it's back to the robot.
	6:16pm Ellen Lovebug: I'm confused, what's playing now?
	♥ 6:16pm Feldy: All better
	6:16pm spacebrother: You're back!
	6:16pm Charles: All good!
	6:16pm Ellen Lovebug: swell haha
	🎸 ♥ 6:16pm Austin Rich: Damn. Hopefully I'm back now?
	6:17pm Mike Rogers: Kill him! Kill him now!
	🎸 ♥ 6:17pm Austin Rich: Damn. I keep having such back luck streaming this show. If I can't get things right again next week, I might need to change my set-up.
	6:17pm Mr Fab: Sounds like the drama has returned.
	6:17pm Ellen Lovebug: Always with the grace under pressure
	🎸 ♥ 6:17pm Austin Rich: Fortunately, I can upload a pristine copy to the archive later. Sorry everyone!
	6:18pm Mike Rogers: Jst kill him because it's more Gansta that way.
	♥ 6:19pm Feldy: Maybe it's foul-play. See if Suzy can find the man who sold you those cables
	6:19pm Mike Rogers: Austin san! It is cool!
	6:19pm Ellen Lovebug: So odd that Ring Around the Rosie even exists. It's about the plague!
	🎸 ♥ 6:19pm Austin Rich: These internet broadcasts are as fragile as the early radio broadcasts, back in the day.
	6:19pm John R: No worries Austin!
	6:19pm Ellen Lovebug: Umbrella guy!
	🎸 ♥ 6:19pm Austin Rich: I was gonna comment on that, Ellen! If you haven't looked into the history of that rhyme, it's pretty unnerving.
	6:20pm Ellen Lovebug: In general, nursery rhymes and faerie tales and some fables are terrifying
	6:20pm Mike Rogers: Kill the umbrella guy and Johnny! Kill everyone!!! Arrrghhhh!
	6:20pm Mr Fab: Mike, i don't know if they edited these much. Weren't they pretty much done live, Austin?
	♥ 6:21pm Feldy: "Charlie, you ever watch any movies about gladiators?"
	6:21pm Mike Rogers: I've done some dramas but they were pale compared to the old glory days of radio!
	6:21pm spacebrother: "Worker" was also a character in "We're All Bozos on this Bus."
	6:22pm Mike Rogers: Feldy san! Is that a comment referring to the movie Airplane?
	♥ 6:22pm Feldy: Bingo, Mike!
	🎸 ♥ 6:22pm Austin Rich: Mr. Fab & Mike: Yeah, mostly! Probably 95% of all radio shows in those days were recorded to disc "live," with FX being performed live. I don't have any concrete evidence about the way Box 13 was made, but I know that they were made quickly, so I suspect no editing was done.
	6:23pm Mike Rogers: Oh! What do I win!? What do I win???
	🎸 ♥ 6:23pm Austin Rich: Since This show does have slightly higher sound quality than a lot of shows, and I hear fewer "flubs" on this show, I think there might have been SOME editing. But even still, less editing was even possible in 1949 than is possible now.
	🎸 ♥ 6:24pm Austin Rich: spacebrother: Nice Catch! I didn't even think about that!
	6:24pm Mike Rogers: I've seen some old videos about radio dramas and they had a ton of staff and the SE people were experts.
	6:25pm Ellen Lovebug: That guy's sneer just screams villain
	🎸 ♥ 6:25pm Austin Rich: Yeah. A show like this would have an FX guy, a music guy (I think they are playing pre-recorded music cues), one person for each cast member, an engineer... probably several other crew members, too.
	6:25pm Mike Rogers: I have always wanted to be the guy who clumoed Coconuts on the table to imitate horses running. A big studio wanted to hire me but I could only do horses.
	6:25pm Mike Rogers: Shoot him now!!!
	6:25pm Mr Fab: yeah, he has a bad-guy accent.
	🎸 ♥ 6:25pm Austin Rich: If they did live foley SFX, then you would have several SFX people, so you could have overlapping sounds.
	6:26pm Mike Rogers: We need more explosions too.
	6:26pm Ellen Lovebug: Scary
	🎸 ♥ 6:26pm Austin Rich: <bad guy accent> </bad guy accent>
	6:26pm Mike Rogers: Nice place you have here. Be a shame if something happened to it.
	🎸 ♥ 6:27pm Austin Rich: This is the major plothole here: the cops are efficient on the counterfeiting case. That seems a little suspect.
	6:28pm Mr Fab: I saw a cool movie dramatizing Orson Welles' radio version of "War of the Worlds," where we see them making the show in the radio studio.
	6:28pm Charles: I don't know how this week's episode will play out but I think you'd like The Voyage of the Scarlet Queen Mike, lots of people get their ass kicked in it usually.
	6:28pm Mike Rogers: How else will they get a Christmas bonus?
	🎸 ♥ 6:28pm Austin Rich: That's a very cool movie, Mr. Fab! I've heard it was pretty well researched.
	6:28pm Listener Robert: Think his story to Suzy about how he got those bogus $5 was phony? If so, how'd he know this was coming?
	6:29pm Charles: lol Suzy
	🎸 ♥ 6:29pm Austin Rich: "Goodnight Suzy: The Dan Holiday Story."
	6:29pm Mike Rogers: @Charles... And does it have lots of explosions and shooting, and bombs and buildings getting kicked over by a giant lizard?
	6:29pm Mike Rogers: What!? Dan Holiday? That's a fake name.
	6:30pm Listener Robert: Does that mean Suzy has experience opening charge accounts under stolen identities?
	6:30pm Listener Robert: This whole episode raises more questions than answers.
	6:30pm Mike Rogers: @Robert! I suspect that her real name isn't even "Suzy"
	6:30pm Ellen Lovebug: Sorry I was distracted by some health appointment-related phone calls. I will see you all next week if I can!
	6:31pm Mike Rogers: Wait! What? Is "Lovebug" your real name? OK. have a good day!
	🎸 ♥ 6:31pm Austin Rich: This episode of The Voyage of the Scarlet Queen would be the first episode they aired during the 1948 year. They just had two weeks of holiday episodes, and I appreciate that they are dealing with a cold storm up front. A nice start to the new year.
	🎸 ♥ 6:31pm Austin Rich: See ya next time, Ellen!
	🎸 ♥ 6:32pm Austin Rich: Not terrible sound this week, either.
	6:32pm Mike Rogers: OK. Guys, I gotta drive my kid to school now. Thanks so much Austin san!
	🎸 ♥ 6:33pm Austin Rich: See ya next time, Mike!
	6:33pm Charles: Nice seeing you Mike!
	🎸 ♥ 6:35pm Austin Rich: Neilson gets a lot more action in these later episodes.
	🎸 ♥ 6:41pm Austin Rich: "That sounds interesting." She sounds fun.
	6:42pm spacebrother: OK. Gotta get back to work. Seeya soon!
	🎸 ♥ 6:43pm Austin Rich: See ya next time, spacebrother.
	6:43pm spacebrother: Thanks Austin!
	♥ 6:44pm Feldy: You can pick your friends, you can pick your gravy...
	🎸 ♥ 6:44pm Austin Rich: ACME needs to hire Feldy to write some of their copy!
	🎸 ♥ 6:45pm Austin Rich: The characters seem to be pronouncing "buoy" as "boy," which was a little confusing for me at first.
	♥ 6:47pm Feldy: I'll submit some ideas I have to position their old pens as new & improved pens
	🎸 ♥ 6:48pm Austin Rich: See! I think they would love to hire you. You work for free, right?
	♥ 6:48pm Feldy: Pretty close, Austin :)
	🎸 ♥ 6:49pm Austin Rich: Perfect. ACME prefers to exploit their staff.
	6:50pm Mr Fab: Now that I think about it, maybe you could run that orson Welles "War of the Worlds" Austin. Should you run out of material. I forgot how long it is.
	🎸 ♥ 6:51pm Austin Rich: I think it was about an hour-ish, in my memory. But perhaps I'm wrong?
	6:52pm Listener Robert: Huh. So the comparative of "sober" is "soberer".
	🎸 ♥ 6:53pm Austin Rich: Indeed. (According to the dictionary, Listener Robert.)
	♥ 6:56pm Feldy: ACME® Gravy. Now with NO lead additives.
	🎸 ♥ 6:56pm Austin Rich: (Just like our Paint.)
	🎸 ♥ 6:57pm Austin Rich: "Passengers will cause more trouble than cargo."
	🎸 ♥ 6:58pm Austin Rich: Red just got jealous of another first mate...
	6:58pm Listener Robert: "We aren't exactly unattached" sure plays into the, uh, theme that's been discussed here.
	🎸 ♥ 6:59pm Austin Rich: I think so.
	7:04pm Charles: That's a good idea Austin, the interview.
	🎸 ♥ 7:07pm Austin Rich: Obadiah not only has an incredible collection of rare books, ephemera, and letters back and forth between early sci-fi pioneers, he also edits a great "lovecraft zine," which original fiction and poetry by current "weird fiction" writers. He's the perfect nerd to talk about the intersection of Sci-Fi and radio.
	🎸 ♥ 7:08pm Austin Rich: theaudientvoid.bigcartel.com
	🎸 ♥ 7:16pm Austin Rich: Given that this episode was aired 4 August 1948, this was aired almost exactly 74 years ago.
	7:17pm Charles: Are you ideas for Mid-valley Mutations coming from weird messages from the Yogi Austin?
	🎸 ♥ 7:17pm Austin Rich: Hmmmmm. I'm not sure, Charles. I mean, I don't think they are, but I can't speak for what happens to me when I'm asleep.
	🎸 ♥ 7:21pm Austin Rich: "A Dud in Technicolor."
	7:22pm Charles: That scene was awesome and also very funny
	🎸 ♥ 7:22pm Austin Rich: Finally, some action!
	7:25pm Charles: I love Roxor, he looks more mischievious than a real threat and that's funny to me.
	🎸 ♥ 7:26pm Austin Rich: Roxor is not exactly a major threat.
	🎸 ♥ 7:28pm Austin Rich: After a couple months of re-runs, listeners at home are finally getting a new episode of Dimension X. I'm sure this was a big deal at the time.
	7:29pm Mr Fab: Yes! Dimension...X...X...x...x...
	🎸 ♥ 7:29pm Austin Rich: An L. Ron Hubbard story!
	♥ 7:30pm Feldy: I gotta go sober-up at a Turkish bath sometime
	7:32pm Mr Fab: Damn Thetans, going around stealing buildings!
	🎸 ♥ 7:33pm Austin Rich: I want the scene in "The Master" where they satirize L. Ron cashing his "radio royalty" check.
	♥ 7:34pm Feldy: 28 pt. type on that paper's headline!
	🎸 ♥ 7:34pm Austin Rich: Speaking of Orson Welles!
	🎸 ♥ 7:35pm Austin Rich: He's so old. 54!
	🎸 ♥ 7:36pm Austin Rich: He's 54. But the voice actor plays him closer to 73.
	7:37pm Mr Fab: in 1950, 54 was the new 74.
	♥ 7:37pm Feldy: I talk like this guy after a root canal
	7:42pm Mr Fab: Haha, poor Mr Acme.
	♥ 7:42pm Feldy: If you're not satisfied, you can keep your hands, no questions asked
	7:45pm Mr Fab: Hey, is that Suzie?!
	🎸 ♥ 7:46pm Austin Rich: Good ear, Mr. Fab. Might be? I'll see if I can find anything.
	♥ 7:47pm Feldy: Linotype machines is photo-typesetting
	🎸 ♥ 7:48pm Austin Rich: I can't specifically find a cast list, so it could be?
	♥ 7:53pm Feldy: Correction; Linotype is metal typesetting
	🎸 ♥ 7:57pm Austin Rich: "Double the size of the front page!"
	♥ 7:57pm Scott67: Thanks Austin! 🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	🎸 ♥ 7:57pm Austin Rich: See ya'll next week!
	♥ 7:58pm Feldy: I guess the people who typeset the paper were called the Composition Dept
	7:58pm Charles: Thanks Austin, later everyone!
	♥ 7:58pm Feldy: Thanks, Austin!
	🎸 ♥ 7:59pm Austin Rich: The women were uncredited...
	8:00pm Mr Fab: Great stuff today Austin. THANKS!..Thanks!..Thanks...thanks...

	🎸 ♥ 6:23pm Austin Rich: Since This show does have slightly higher sound quality than a lot of shows, and I hear fewer "flubs" on this show, I think there might have been SOME editing. But even still, less editing was even possible in 1949 than is possible now.
	🎸 ♥ 6:24pm Austin Rich: spacebrother: Nice Catch! I didn't even think about that!
	6:24pm Mike Rogers: I've seen some old videos about radio dramas and they had a ton of staff and the SE people were experts.
	6:25pm Ellen Lovebug: That guy's sneer just screams villain
	🎸 ♥ 6:25pm Austin Rich: Yeah. A show like this would have an FX guy, a music guy (I think they are playing pre-recorded music cues), one person for each cast member, an engineer... probably several other crew members, too.
	6:25pm Mike Rogers: I have always wanted to be the guy who clumoed Coconuts on the table to imitate horses running. A big studio wanted to hire me but I could only do horses.
	6:25pm Mike Rogers: Shoot him now!!!
	6:25pm Mr Fab: yeah, he has a bad-guy accent.
	🎸 ♥ 6:25pm Austin Rich: If they did live foley SFX, then you would have several SFX people, so you could have overlapping sounds.
	6:26pm Mike Rogers: We need more explosions too.
	6:26pm Ellen Lovebug: Scary
	🎸 ♥ 6:26pm Austin Rich: <bad guy accent> </bad guy accent>
	6:26pm Mike Rogers: Nice place you have here. Be a shame if something happened to it.
	🎸 ♥ 6:27pm Austin Rich: This is the major plothole here: the cops are efficient on the counterfeiting case. That seems a little suspect.
	6:28pm Mr Fab: I saw a cool movie dramatizing Orson Welles' radio version of "War of the Worlds," where we see them making the show in the radio studio.
	6:28pm Charles: I don't know how this week's episode will play out but I think you'd like The Voyage of the Scarlet Queen Mike, lots of people get their ass kicked in it usually.
	6:28pm Mike Rogers: How else will they get a Christmas bonus?
	🎸 ♥ 6:28pm Austin Rich: That's a very cool movie, Mr. Fab! I've heard it was pretty well researched.
	6:28pm Listener Robert: Think his story to Suzy about how he got those bogus $5 was phony? If so, how'd he know this was coming?
	6:29pm Charles: lol Suzy
	🎸 ♥ 6:29pm Austin Rich: "Goodnight Suzy: The Dan Holiday Story."
	6:29pm Mike Rogers: @Charles... And does it have lots of explosions and shooting, and bombs and buildings getting kicked over by a giant lizard?
	6:29pm Mike Rogers: What!? Dan Holiday? That's a fake name.
	6:30pm Listener Robert: Does that mean Suzy has experience opening charge accounts under stolen identities?
	6:30pm Listener Robert: This whole episode raises more questions than answers.
	6:30pm Mike Rogers: @Robert! I suspect that her real name isn't even "Suzy"
	6:30pm Ellen Lovebug: Sorry I was distracted by some health appointment-related phone calls. I will see you all next week if I can!
	6:31pm Mike Rogers: Wait! What? Is "Lovebug" your real name? OK. have a good day!
	🎸 ♥ 6:31pm Austin Rich: This episode of The Voyage of the Scarlet Queen would be the first episode they aired during the 1948 year. They just had two weeks of holiday episodes, and I appreciate that they are dealing with a cold storm up front. A nice start to the new year.
	🎸 ♥ 6:31pm Austin Rich: See ya next time, Ellen!
	🎸 ♥ 6:32pm Austin Rich: Not terrible sound this week, either.
	6:32pm Mike Rogers: OK. Guys, I gotta drive my kid to school now. Thanks so much Austin san!
	🎸 ♥ 6:33pm Austin Rich: See ya next time, Mike!
	6:33pm Charles: Nice seeing you Mike!
	🎸 ♥ 6:35pm Austin Rich: Neilson gets a lot more action in these later episodes.
	🎸 ♥ 6:41pm Austin Rich: "That sounds interesting." She sounds fun.
	6:42pm spacebrother: OK. Gotta get back to work. Seeya soon!
	🎸 ♥ 6:43pm Austin Rich: See ya next time, spacebrother.
	6:43pm spacebrother: Thanks Austin!
	♥ 6:44pm Feldy: You can pick your friends, you can pick your gravy...
	🎸 ♥ 6:44pm Austin Rich: ACME needs to hire Feldy to write some of their copy!
	🎸 ♥ 6:45pm Austin Rich: The characters seem to be pronouncing "buoy" as "boy," which was a little confusing for me at first.
	♥ 6:47pm Feldy: I'll submit some ideas I have to position their old pens as new & improved pens
	🎸 ♥ 6:48pm Austin Rich: See! I think they would love to hire you. You work for free, right?
	♥ 6:48pm Feldy: Pretty close, Austin :)
	🎸 ♥ 6:49pm Austin Rich: Perfect. ACME prefers to exploit their staff.
	6:50pm Mr Fab: Now that I think about it, maybe you could run that orson Welles "War of the Worlds" Austin. Should you run out of material. I forgot how long it is.
	🎸 ♥ 6:51pm Austin Rich: I think it was about an hour-ish, in my memory. But perhaps I'm wrong?
	6:52pm Listener Robert: Huh. So the comparative of "sober" is "soberer".
	🎸 ♥ 6:53pm Austin Rich: Indeed. (According to the dictionary, Listener Robert.)
	♥ 6:56pm Feldy: ACME® Gravy. Now with NO lead additives.
	🎸 ♥ 6:56pm Austin Rich: (Just like our Paint.)
	🎸 ♥ 6:57pm Austin Rich: "Passengers will cause more trouble than cargo."
	🎸 ♥ 6:58pm Austin Rich: Red just got jealous of another first mate...
	6:58pm Listener Robert: "We aren't exactly unattached" sure plays into the, uh, theme that's been discussed here.
	🎸 ♥ 6:59pm Austin Rich: I think so.
	7:04pm Charles: That's a good idea Austin, the interview.
	🎸 ♥ 7:07pm Austin Rich: Obadiah not only has an incredible collection of rare books, ephemera, and letters back and forth between early sci-fi pioneers, he also edits a great "lovecraft zine," which original fiction and poetry by current "weird fiction" writers. He's the perfect nerd to talk about the intersection of Sci-Fi and radio.
	🎸 ♥ 7:08pm Austin Rich: theaudientvoid.bigcartel.com
	🎸 ♥ 7:16pm Austin Rich: Given that this episode was aired 4 August 1948, this was aired almost exactly 74 years ago.
	7:17pm Charles: Are you ideas for Mid-valley Mutations coming from weird messages from the Yogi Austin?
	🎸 ♥ 7:17pm Austin Rich: Hmmmmm. I'm not sure, Charles. I mean, I don't think they are, but I can't speak for what happens to me when I'm asleep.
	🎸 ♥ 7:21pm Austin Rich: "A Dud in Technicolor."
	7:22pm Charles: That scene was awesome and also very funny
	🎸 ♥ 7:22pm Austin Rich: Finally, some action!
	7:25pm Charles: I love Roxor, he looks more mischievious than a real threat and that's funny to me.
	🎸 ♥ 7:26pm Austin Rich: Roxor is not exactly a major threat.
	🎸 ♥ 7:28pm Austin Rich: After a couple months of re-runs, listeners at home are finally getting a new episode of Dimension X. I'm sure this was a big deal at the time.
	7:29pm Mr Fab: Yes! Dimension...X...X...x...x...
	🎸 ♥ 7:29pm Austin Rich: An L. Ron Hubbard story!
	♥ 7:30pm Feldy: I gotta go sober-up at a Turkish bath sometime
	7:32pm Mr Fab: Damn Thetans, going around stealing buildings!
	🎸 ♥ 7:33pm Austin Rich: I want the scene in "The Master" where they satirize L. Ron cashing his "radio royalty" check.
	♥ 7:34pm Feldy: 28 pt. type on that paper's headline!
	🎸 ♥ 7:34pm Austin Rich: Speaking of Orson Welles!
	🎸 ♥ 7:35pm Austin Rich: He's so old. 54!
	🎸 ♥ 7:36pm Austin Rich: He's 54. But the voice actor plays him closer to 73.
	7:37pm Mr Fab: in 1950, 54 was the new 74.
	♥ 7:37pm Feldy: I talk like this guy after a root canal
	7:42pm Mr Fab: Haha, poor Mr Acme.
	♥ 7:42pm Feldy: If you're not satisfied, you can keep your hands, no questions asked
	7:45pm Mr Fab: Hey, is that Suzie?!
	🎸 ♥ 7:46pm Austin Rich: Good ear, Mr. Fab. Might be? I'll see if I can find anything.
	♥ 7:47pm Feldy: Linotype machines is photo-typesetting
	🎸 ♥ 7:48pm Austin Rich: I can't specifically find a cast list, so it could be?
	♥ 7:53pm Feldy: Correction; Linotype is metal typesetting
	🎸 ♥ 7:57pm Austin Rich: "Double the size of the front page!"
	♥ 7:57pm Scott67: Thanks Austin! 🍻😎🤙💨🍺
	🎸 ♥ 7:57pm Austin Rich: See ya'll next week!
	♥ 7:58pm Feldy: I guess the people who typeset the paper were called the Composition Dept
	7:58pm Charles: Thanks Austin, later everyone!
	♥ 7:58pm Feldy: Thanks, Austin!
	🎸 ♥ 7:59pm Austin Rich: The women were uncredited...
	8:00pm Mr Fab: Great stuff today Austin. THANKS!..Thanks!..Thanks...thanks...
