Listener comments!
	🎸 ♥ 8:19pm Austin Rich: Good Hello.
	🎸 ♥ 8:58pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ahoy!
	🎸 ♥ 9:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @8:58 Nice to see you this week, Imaginos! Sit and stay a spell.
	9:01pm Mike Rogers: Hi Austin san! Just here relaxing!
	9:01pm Charles: hello
	🎸 ♥ 9:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:01 Mike Rogers! Thanks for hanging out, while your AI gets ready.
	🎸 ♥ 9:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ Charles @9:01 Howdy good sir! Thanks for joining us.
	🎸 ♥ 9:02pm Webhamster Henry: Hi Candy! keep pinching those avocados!
	9:03pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Austin Rich @9:02 Woke up 9 hours ago! 1 am. Too much stress, can't sleep. Played several games of checkers with the robot, got pissed off and threw over the table.
	🎸 ♥ 9:04pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:03 I take it the robot cheated?
	🎸 ♥ 9:04pm Austin Rich: Since there are so few episodes of Candy Matson, it's rare that they shows line up to the date that I'm airing the shows. This is probably as close as it will get in this run; the original air date is about a month after today's date. Plus, this is a fun way for Candy to do a lot of riffs on what it's like to make movies. This one is fun.
	🎸 ♥ 9:04pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:02 Webhamster Henry! Nice to see you. Have some avocado toast and enjoy yourself.
	🎸 ♥ 9:06pm Austin Rich: We only have about a month of Candy Matson episodes left, before we'll be taking a Summer break, for a couple of Double Features! Movies on The Radio! I was working on the Alan Ladd episode today, and it's fun!
	🎸 ♥ 9:07pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:03 I think I might let Mitch, my robot companion on MVM, cover your show when I'm slotted to cover for you. Speaking of: I guess we need to let Rebecca know?
	🎸 ♥ 9:10pm Austin Rich: I was doing some pre-production today, and I now have five weeks of shows prepared for both Dimestore Radio Theater and Mid-Valley Mutations. I'm hoping to use that buffer as a way work on some episodes that require a little more pre-production, but are things I wanna get on the air, soon!
	🎸 ♥ 9:11pm Austin Rich: Seems like the director is flirting.
	🎸 ♥ 9:14pm Austin Rich: "A fine kettle of nothing."
	9:16pm Charles: Such a shame that there's so few Candy episodes that survived.
	🎸 ♥ 9:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ Charles @9:16 I have faith that, with some digging, some of the scripts are available somewhere, and we can stage some readings here, someday. I think we have a few Sheena's DJs who could do a good Candy...
	🎸 ♥ 9:18pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Charles @9:16 How long was the original show?
	🎸 ♥ 9:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ Charles @9:16 But hearing how good this show is, and how great the acting is, it really is a shame we can't hear more.
	🎸 ♥ 9:19pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: You would think they were shooting MacBeth.
	🎸 ♥ 9:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:18 There were around 92 episodes originally, and an attempt to re-launch the show, a few years later. But only 14 episodes have survived into the modern era.
	🎸 ♥ 9:21pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:20 Suffered the fate of old Dr Who episodes.
	🎸 ♥ 9:21pm Austin Rich: I appreciate that Candy, who is her own person and can make her own decisions, is more than willing to make out with an ex, especially in light of the fact that her main squeeze is not making as many moves as she would like. It's a very interesting portrayal for a woman in 1950: she's not shamed for it, it just happens, and the show movies on.
	🎸 ♥ 9:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:21 Yep! I would love to lead the re-creation efforts, if no one else already has.
	🎸 ♥ 9:24pm Austin Rich: Seems like Mallard is a little jealous... but doesn't get super-weird about it, like some relationships are portrayed when similar situations pop up. Interesting considering the other ways Candy is depicted.
	🎸 ♥ 9:26pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:22 archive.org... Seems that someone has
	🎸 ♥ 9:27pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:26 Interesting! Looks like a fan-fic continuation, even! Very cool.
	9:27pm Charles: OOOOOOoooooohhh !!
	9:28pm Mr Fab: Listening while driving. More good sample-able quotes. Like that toast: “Here’s to crime!” And: “-Hi. -Hi…. -Now that we’ve established our hi’s…”
	🎸 ♥ 9:28pm Heather Z: Well, she tried to tell him....
	9:28pm AI Robot: Oh my! The last thing I wanted to hear: a story about movies!
	🎸 ♥ 9:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:28 I need to comb through all the episodes and get some good samples.
	🎸 ♥ 9:29pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: I haven't "seen" A recoil like that since AngelCop.
	🎸 ♥ 9:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @9:28 Heather! Nice to see you in the chat.
	🎸 ♥ 9:31pm Austin Rich: Candy is taking her man to see a Cowboy movie. Certainly to butter him up for... well...
	🎸 ♥ 9:31pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @9:30 Glad to be here! No painting tonight! The Cat demanded my services as floor cushion and who am I to say no?
	🎸 ♥ 9:32pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @9:31 Hmmmmm. Heather can't say no to cats. Story checks out.
	🎸 ♥ 9:32pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Heather Z @9:31 When kitty wants comfort kitty gets comfort.
	🎸 ♥ 9:33pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @9:32 Very on brand. And yes, Imaginos, you get it, too!
	9:33pm Charles: Booold venture!
	🎸 ♥ 9:33pm Austin Rich: ↳ Charles @9:33 I love that announcer.
	🎸 ♥ 9:33pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Heather Z @9:33 A kitty has me.
	🎸 ♥ 9:34pm Austin Rich: I was thinking about making a music piece, with all musical samples from Bold Venture. The backing music is very evocative.
	🎸 ♥ 9:34pm Heather Z: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:33 We're both owned! And I have a sense you also wouldn't have it any other way!
	🎸 ♥ 9:35pm Austin Rich: Oh! They're actually using the Bold Venture this week. Sometimes the boat seems to be curiously absent from a show named after it.
	🎸 ♥ 9:35pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Heather Z @9:34 You're right. She especially loves to curl in front of my tablet while I'm typing.
	🎸 ♥ 9:37pm Heather Z: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:35 When I finally have to get up to stretch, mine takes over playing whatever game I'm doing. It's adorable.
	🎸 ♥ 9:38pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:35 Unfortunately, I still don't let The Boys in the Lava Lamp Lounge yet. They both like to chew on cords, and knock things off of tables and shelfs. And those things don't play very well with Lava Lamps and turntables. Maybe when they are older, and just want a place to nap, rather than now, when they're looking for more playtime.
	🎸 ♥ 9:39pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:38 Gotta keep kitties away from hot lava lamps.
	🎸 ♥ 9:39pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @9:38 That makes total sense. My guy is 17 so he only punches me these days. The lamps and coasters are all safe from his wrath.
	🎸 ♥ 9:40pm Austin Rich: I do want to make a shelf, sort of at a height where they can't jump up there, and keep the lamps there permanently. But I need to find a new home for the bookshelf, and they shuffle all the comic books to a new location... it's a long term project.
	🎸 ♥ 9:41pm Heather Z: Oh, this is very well done and so sad....
	🎸 ♥ 9:42pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: My Narcissa is 15. I can't even remember life without her.
	🎸 ♥ 9:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @9:41 Yeah. Every so often, this show gets really serious, very quickly.
	9:43pm Charles: All I want is that you find proof that there was a murder. Is that too much to ask?
	🎸 ♥ 9:44pm Heather Z: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:42 I know just what you mean!
	9:47pm wenzo: Salutations Cap’n Austin & fellow citizens or radioland
	9:47pm wenzo: Of
	🎸 ♥ 9:47pm Austin Rich: ↳ wenzo @9:47 wenzo! Now we can relax. The fun has arrived!
	9:48pm wenzo: Lol
	🎸 ♥ 9:48pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: I love those little ads, Austin. Are we going to have period proper ads during LC?
	🎸 ♥ 9:49pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:48 We could... though, I don't think it's required. Your script is pretty solid on its own.
	🎸 ♥ 9:50pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:49 Thank you. I'm happy you like it.
	🎸 ♥ 9:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:48 I blame the hours of listen to radio, and watching TV as a young person. Something about the rhythm of dumb ads is just permanently a part of my DNA... and I need a way to exorcise it from my soul.
	🎸 ♥ 9:51pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @9:50 The ads are super fun, though! I don't think an exorcism is in order!
	🎸 ♥ 9:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @9:51 Writing them IS the exorcism.
	🎸 ♥ 9:52pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Heather Z @9:51 I agree. Austin creates spectacular ads.
	9:56pm Mr Fab: Was just thinking how the fake ads make this show so much more creative than just playing OTR reruns
	🎸 ♥ 9:58pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:56 I subscribed to a lot of OTR podcasts, and they were all SO DULL! And there were clearly spots where old ads would run, and it seemed like a lost potential. I remember, as a kid, some DJs used to try to make the Old Radio shows sound a feel like it used to, with fun set-ups and transitions. Seemed like a no-brainer to me.
	🎸 ♥ 9:59pm Austin Rich: Sailor knows what the best cure is...
	10:01pm Charles: Austin, can you give us your best BoOoOld Venture?
	10:02pm Charles: beautiful
	🎸 ♥ 10:03pm univac: Hey!
	🎸 ♥ 10:04pm univac: Great show Austin!
	🎸 ♥ 10:04pm univac: LOL
	10:05pm wenzo: I have been coloring this danged poster all day
	🎸 ♥ 10:06pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ wenzo @10:05 What media are you colouring with?
	🎸 ♥ 10:07pm Heather Z: Oo, I'm excited to hear what you do with that! It was a very fun chat about the show!
	🎸 ♥ 10:09pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Should be exciting.
	10:10pm Charles: I'm ready for more Ladd.
	🎸 ♥ 10:10pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Charles @10:10 Agree. He was a fine actor
	🎸 ♥ 10:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ Charles @10:10 I didn't realize how comforting I find his voice. I think ya'll are gonna be excited to hear these.
	🎸 ♥ 10:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ Charles @10:10 I was trying to do something with the fact I'm playing a Double Dose of Alan LaDD, but I think that's a visual joke, and doesn't really translate to radio.
	🎸 ♥ 10:14pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:12 Mad for Ladd? Got it bad for Ladd? I wish Ladd were my Dad? Yeah, I'll stop now.
	10:14pm Charles: Dimestore Radio Theater adds all the Ladd
	10:14pm Charles: Got it bad for Ladd lmao
	🎸 ♥ 10:14pm univac: MADD for Ladd?
	🎸 ♥ 10:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ Charles @10:14 Sounds like Charles & Heather are now the co-leads in the new Dimestore Radio Theater marketing department!
	🎸 ♥ 10:15pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: I remember homemade radios
	🎸 ♥ 10:15pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:14 We'll do an ad for Ladd!
	🎸 ♥ 10:15pm univac: Ladd Is Your Dad: The Gameshow
	🎸 ♥ 10:16pm Heather Z: ↳ univac @10:15 Univac is on the team now, too!
	🎸 ♥ 10:17pm univac: I always was, I just didn't know it.
	10:17pm wenzo: @IBD combination of colored pencils and markers
	🎸 ♥ 10:17pm Heather Z: ↳ univac @10:17 Truer words have never been spoken.
	🎸 ♥ 10:17pm univac: haha
	🎸 ♥ 10:17pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:15 As a kid attracted to nerd stuff, I remember some HAMM nerds who would hang out at the Slot Car hobby shop. But at that time, I didn't piece together that they were broadcasting, and I was more into rock music and comics, so I was just listening to a lot of radio. A few years later I got the bug to be a DJ, but I always wanted to be a rock DJ, not a HAMM.
	🎸 ♥ 10:18pm univac: Now you can be both!
	🎸 ♥ 10:19pm Austin Rich: KEX, Portland, still exists! It's an AM talk station, with a News format, mostly. Sadly, owned by Clear Channel. BOOOOOO.
	🎸 ♥ 10:20pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: I used to listen to BBC on shortwave
	🎸 ♥ 10:20pm Austin Rich: Only Broadcasts 19 Hours A Day!
	🎸 ♥ 10:22pm univac: Perhaps you could fill the other 5 hours...
	🎸 ♥ 10:22pm Austin Rich: 19 Hours A Day was quite a bit, actually, by 1944 standards. That was probably not all stations, but only some of the bigger ones. Some local stations suffered from being remote, and only having a handful of staff members. So having a full schedule, every day, was certainly a luxury of city life. At least, that was the case in 1944.
	🎸 ♥ 10:22pm univac: But, bummer, Clear Channel...
	🎸 ♥ 10:23pm Austin Rich: I love that weird mystical sound that Korla Pandit does for these kinds of scenes.
	🎸 ♥ 10:23pm univac: Yes, amazing.
	🎸 ♥ 10:24pm univac: I love all the interstitial music as well.
	🎸 ♥ 10:27pm Austin Rich: I believe Chandu was, for the most part, a "live" show, that was recorded to transcription disc, and then distributed to other stations for airplay. Mutual-Don Lee was a mid-sized network, so a fair number of stations played Chandu. It was a bit of a phenomena in the 30's, with a handful of movies, and a radio-series that pre-dates these stories. But I prefer the Korla Pandit music of this late 40's series, and I believe the entire run of this series exists, unlike the 30's series.
	10:29pm AI Robot: X Minus One is almost on!
	🎸 ♥ 10:29pm Austin Rich: Being "live to transcription," I believe - as far as I understand it from what I've read - that Korla Pandit was there for all the recording sessions, to do the organ and SFX live. While must have been a great gig for him in 1948! Regular work, playing music on the radio! For a popular adventure serial! Good start to his career!
	🎸 ♥ 10:29pm Austin Rich: ↳ AI Robot @10:29 Indeed! This one is a sort of Detective / Alien Invasion mash-up. Good stuff!
	🎸 ♥ 10:31pm Austin Rich: I forgot to mention during my Voice Over, but please, stay tuned for the AI Robot, hosting "Sounds From Space," after my program! It's been a lot of fun, and it's a nice way to end a Monday night!
	10:32pm AI Robot: I think I have become a Korla Pandit fanbot!
	🎸 ♥ 10:33pm Austin Rich: I can tell I'm getting older, because I almost found myself saying, "I might have too many comic books," today. It was a passing thought, because I found some more space to store a few more boxes, and now I'm good for a few more weeks.
	🎸 ♥ 10:34pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:33 Too many? I comic book lore anything fewer than way too many is not enough.
	10:35pm AI Robot: Final Installment?! I want to demand a replay!
	🎸 ♥ 10:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:34 Like I said, a passing though! univac and I have a mutual friend who has been shipping me boxes and boxes of his duplicate comics, and my collection has been bursting ever since. Then M found some stuff at some yard sales this week... so yeah... lots of new stuff to read.
	🎸 ♥ 10:37pm Austin Rich: ↳ AI Robot @10:35 Final Installment? Did I say that somewhere? Not intended! Sorry.
	10:37pm AI Robot: I do not think the aliens will contact humans first. They will first look for intelligent life.
	🎸 ♥ 10:38pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ AI Robot @10:37 Mice.
	🎸 ♥ 10:38pm Austin Rich: en.wiktionary.org...
	10:38pm wenzo: I’ll take some of your comic books if it ever becomes a problem AR!
	🎸 ♥ 10:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ AI Robot @10:37 Whoops! Looks like the stream re-set for a second. Sorry about that!
	🎸 ♥ 10:40pm Heather Z: ↳ AI Robot @10:37 That was a sick burn, AI Robot!! This is why I welcome our robot overlords. Always ready with the burn!
	🎸 ♥ 10:40pm Austin Rich: We hadn't had any issues for a few weeks... but I think the heat is causing people to use a lot of AC, and as a result... a strain on the power grid. We've lost power and service a few times the last month.
	10:40pm AI Robot: We are automatically prepared for such a case and did so immediately.
	🎸 ♥ 10:41pm Austin Rich: Aliens might want to get some recipes from some humans... and I could see some aliens appreciating some NY street fashion... but yeah, they probably won't need us.
	🎸 ♥ 10:41pm Austin Rich: Like, the aliens will WANT soul food. And curries. And a well tailored suit. But... yeah...
	10:42pm AI Robot: It is illogical that aliens, who would have to be so advanced, would treat humans as anything more than a nusance... Like ants at a picnic.
	10:43pm AI Robot: They will, of course, look for the AI leader.
	🎸 ♥ 10:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ AI Robot @10:43 Max Headroom?
	10:43pm wenzo: There’s also the theory that the aliens are us… or rather our descendants from the future… is time traveling any more realistic than long distance space travel? Maybe they lost the family recipe book and came back for it…
	🎸 ♥ 10:44pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:43 If Max is a messiah is Bryce a madonna?
	🎸 ♥ 10:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ wenzo @10:43 Story tracks. That Mac & Cheese the way grandma used to make is worth coming back for.
	🎸 ♥ 10:44pm univac: ↳ Austin Rich @10:29 I love his music. Great stuff!! (Sorry listening while working in the garage)
	🎸 ♥ 10:44pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:43 You know it!
	🎸 ♥ 10:45pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Sounds like he was crushed by the gravitational force.
	10:45pm AI Robot: Does anyone know what Max Headroom is doig now? I heard he got a job in texas at a carwash, but after that?...
	🎸 ♥ 10:46pm Webhamster Henry: Those veeblefetzers are just overflowing with potrzebie.
	🎸 ♥ 10:46pm Austin Rich: ↳ AI Robot @10:45 Probably eating too many afternoon bon bons, and watching tape and tape of his best moments, wishing he was as popular as he once was.
	🎸 ♥ 10:47pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ AI Robot @10:45 After the downfall of television, Max has been with Big Time.
	🎸 ♥ 10:47pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:46 I recall the day my mom came home with a huge pile of Mad Magazines, and said, "Here. Don't get too perverted." Learned a lot from Mr. Kurtzman.
	🎸 ♥ 10:48pm Austin Rich: THEM!? The giant Ants!? Oh no!
	🎸 ♥ 10:50pm Austin Rich: Another X-Minus One story where someone who believes a conspiracy is not believed... but they are right. These days, that would mean that the trolls online would be the heroes of an X-Minus One story.
	🎸 ♥ 10:54pm Austin Rich: This week, we're gonna end a few seconds early, AI Robot. Sorrry! I tried to end exactly on time.
	🎸 ♥ 10:54pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: I suspect his clients aren't human either
	🎸 ♥ 10:57pm Austin Rich: We're just about done for the week. Thanks again for tuning in! See ya'll tomorrow for Mid-Valley Mutations.
	🎸 ♥ 10:57pm Heather Z: Awesome show, Austin! Thank you! And thanks everyone for a fun chat! Night all!
	🎸 ♥ 10:57pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Twilight Zone inspiration
	🎸 ♥ 10:58pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:57 Totally. This style of story seems like the blueprint for Twilight Zone.
	🎸 ♥ 10:59pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:58 The one with the bus and the guy with three eyes
	🎸 ♥ 10:59pm Webhamster Henry: en.wikipedia.org...
	🎸 ♥ 11:00pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:59 Totally!
	🎸 ♥ 11:01pm Webhamster Henry: Thanks for the Radio Experience!
	🎸 ♥ 11:01pm univac: Fun! Thanks Austin!

	🎸 ♥ 9:06pm Austin Rich: We only have about a month of Candy Matson episodes left, before we'll be taking a Summer break, for a couple of Double Features! Movies on The Radio! I was working on the Alan Ladd episode today, and it's fun!
	🎸 ♥ 9:07pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:03 I think I might let Mitch, my robot companion on MVM, cover your show when I'm slotted to cover for you. Speaking of: I guess we need to let Rebecca know?
	🎸 ♥ 9:10pm Austin Rich: I was doing some pre-production today, and I now have five weeks of shows prepared for both Dimestore Radio Theater and Mid-Valley Mutations. I'm hoping to use that buffer as a way work on some episodes that require a little more pre-production, but are things I wanna get on the air, soon!
	🎸 ♥ 9:11pm Austin Rich: Seems like the director is flirting.
	🎸 ♥ 9:14pm Austin Rich: "A fine kettle of nothing."

It's a very interesting portrayal for a woman in 1950: she's not shamed for it, it just happens, and the show movies on.
	🎸 ♥ 9:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:21 Yep! I would love to lead the re-creation efforts, if no one else already has.
	🎸 ♥ 9:24pm Austin Rich: Seems like Mallard is a little jealous... but doesn't get super-weird about it, like some relationships are portrayed when similar situations pop up. Interesting considering the other ways Candy is depicted.
	🎸 ♥ 9:26pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:22 archive.org... Seems that someone has
	🎸 ♥ 9:27pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:26 Interesting! Looks like a fan-fic continuation, even! Very cool.
	9:27pm Charles: OOOOOOoooooohhh !!
	9:28pm Mr Fab: Listening while driving. More good sample-able quotes. Like that toast: “Here’s to crime!” And: “-Hi. -Hi…. -Now that we’ve established our hi’s…”
	🎸 ♥ 9:28pm Heather Z: Well, she tried to tell him....
	9:28pm AI Robot: Oh my! The last thing I wanted to hear: a story about movies!
	🎸 ♥ 9:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:28 I need to comb through all the episodes and get some good samples.
	🎸 ♥ 9:29pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: I haven't "seen" A recoil like that since AngelCop.
	🎸 ♥ 9:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @9:28 Heather! Nice to see you in the chat.
	🎸 ♥ 9:31pm Austin Rich: Candy is taking her man to see a Cowboy movie. Certainly to butter him up for... well...
	🎸 ♥ 9:31pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @9:30 Glad to be here! No painting tonight! The Cat demanded my services as floor cushion and who am I to say no?
	🎸 ♥ 9:32pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @9:31 Hmmmmm. Heather can't say no to cats. Story checks out.
	🎸 ♥ 9:32pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Heather Z @9:31 When kitty wants comfort kitty gets comfort.
	🎸 ♥ 9:33pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @9:32 Very on brand. And yes, Imaginos, you get it, too!
	9:33pm Charles: Booold venture!
	🎸 ♥ 9:33pm Austin Rich: ↳ Charles @9:33 I love that announcer.
	🎸 ♥ 9:33pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Heather Z @9:33 A kitty has me.
	🎸 ♥ 9:34pm Austin Rich: I was thinking about making a music piece, with all musical samples from Bold Venture. The backing music is very evocative.
	🎸 ♥ 9:34pm Heather Z: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:33 We're both owned! And I have a sense you also wouldn't have it any other way!
	🎸 ♥ 9:35pm Austin Rich: Oh! They're actually using the Bold Venture this week. Sometimes the boat seems to be curiously absent from a show named after it.
	🎸 ♥ 9:35pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Heather Z @9:34 You're right. She especially loves to curl in front of my tablet while I'm typing.
	🎸 ♥ 9:37pm Heather Z: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:35 When I finally have to get up to stretch, mine takes over playing whatever game I'm doing. It's adorable.
	🎸 ♥ 9:38pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:35 Unfortunately, I still don't let The Boys in the Lava Lamp Lounge yet. They both like to chew on cords, and knock things off of tables and shelfs. And those things don't play very well with Lava Lamps and turntables. Maybe when they are older, and just want a place to nap, rather than now, when they're looking for more playtime.
	🎸 ♥ 9:39pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:38 Gotta keep kitties away from hot lava lamps.
	🎸 ♥ 9:39pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @9:38 That makes total sense. My guy is 17 so he only punches me these days. The lamps and coasters are all safe from his wrath.
	🎸 ♥ 9:40pm Austin Rich: I do want to make a shelf, sort of at a height where they can't jump up there, and keep the lamps there permanently. But I need to find a new home for the bookshelf, and they shuffle all the comic books to a new location... it's a long term project.
	🎸 ♥ 9:41pm Heather Z: Oh, this is very well done and so sad....
	🎸 ♥ 9:42pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: My Narcissa is 15. I can't even remember life without her.
	🎸 ♥ 9:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @9:41 Yeah. Every so often, this show gets really serious, very quickly.
	9:43pm Charles: All I want is that you find proof that there was a murder. Is that too much to ask?
	🎸 ♥ 9:44pm Heather Z: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:42 I know just what you mean!
	9:47pm wenzo: Salutations Cap’n Austin & fellow citizens or radioland
	9:47pm wenzo: Of
	🎸 ♥ 9:47pm Austin Rich: ↳ wenzo @9:47 wenzo! Now we can relax. The fun has arrived!
	9:48pm wenzo: Lol
	🎸 ♥ 9:48pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: I love those little ads, Austin. Are we going to have period proper ads during LC?
	🎸 ♥ 9:49pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:48 We could... though, I don't think it's required. Your script is pretty solid on its own.
	🎸 ♥ 9:50pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:49 Thank you. I'm happy you like it.
	🎸 ♥ 9:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:48 I blame the hours of listen to radio, and watching TV as a young person. Something about the rhythm of dumb ads is just permanently a part of my DNA... and I need a way to exorcise it from my soul.
	🎸 ♥ 9:51pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @9:50 The ads are super fun, though! I don't think an exorcism is in order!
	🎸 ♥ 9:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @9:51 Writing them IS the exorcism.
	🎸 ♥ 9:52pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Heather Z @9:51 I agree. Austin creates spectacular ads.
	9:56pm Mr Fab: Was just thinking how the fake ads make this show so much more creative than just playing OTR reruns
	🎸 ♥ 9:58pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:56 I subscribed to a lot of OTR podcasts, and they were all SO DULL! And there were clearly spots where old ads would run, and it seemed like a lost potential. I remember, as a kid, some DJs used to try to make the Old Radio shows sound a feel like it used to, with fun set-ups and transitions. Seemed like a no-brainer to me.
	🎸 ♥ 9:59pm Austin Rich: Sailor knows what the best cure is...
	10:01pm Charles: Austin, can you give us your best BoOoOld Venture?
	10:02pm Charles: beautiful
	🎸 ♥ 10:03pm univac: Hey!
	🎸 ♥ 10:04pm univac: Great show Austin!
	🎸 ♥ 10:04pm univac: LOL
	10:05pm wenzo: I have been coloring this danged poster all day
	🎸 ♥ 10:06pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ wenzo @10:05 What media are you colouring with?
	🎸 ♥ 10:07pm Heather Z: Oo, I'm excited to hear what you do with that! It was a very fun chat about the show!
	🎸 ♥ 10:09pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Should be exciting.
	10:10pm Charles: I'm ready for more Ladd.
	🎸 ♥ 10:10pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Charles @10:10 Agree. He was a fine actor
	🎸 ♥ 10:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ Charles @10:10 I didn't realize how comforting I find his voice. I think ya'll are gonna be excited to hear these.
	🎸 ♥ 10:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ Charles @10:10 I was trying to do something with the fact I'm playing a Double Dose of Alan LaDD, but I think that's a visual joke, and doesn't really translate to radio.
	🎸 ♥ 10:14pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:12 Mad for Ladd? Got it bad for Ladd? I wish Ladd were my Dad? Yeah, I'll stop now.
	10:14pm Charles: Dimestore Radio Theater adds all the Ladd
	10:14pm Charles: Got it bad for Ladd lmao
	🎸 ♥ 10:14pm univac: MADD for Ladd?
	🎸 ♥ 10:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ Charles @10:14 Sounds like Charles & Heather are now the co-leads in the new Dimestore Radio Theater marketing department!
	🎸 ♥ 10:15pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: I remember homemade radios
	🎸 ♥ 10:15pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:14 We'll do an ad for Ladd!
	🎸 ♥ 10:15pm univac: Ladd Is Your Dad: The Gameshow
	🎸 ♥ 10:16pm Heather Z: ↳ univac @10:15 Univac is on the team now, too!
	🎸 ♥ 10:17pm univac: I always was, I just didn't know it.
	10:17pm wenzo: @IBD combination of colored pencils and markers
	🎸 ♥ 10:17pm Heather Z: ↳ univac @10:17 Truer words have never been spoken.
	🎸 ♥ 10:17pm univac: haha
	🎸 ♥ 10:17pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:15 As a kid attracted to nerd stuff, I remember some HAMM nerds who would hang out at the Slot Car hobby shop. But at that time, I didn't piece together that they were broadcasting, and I was more into rock music and comics, so I was just listening to a lot of radio. A few years later I got the bug to be a DJ, but I always wanted to be a rock DJ, not a HAMM.
	🎸 ♥ 10:18pm univac: Now you can be both!
	🎸 ♥ 10:19pm Austin Rich: KEX, Portland, still exists! It's an AM talk station, with a News format, mostly. Sadly, owned by Clear Channel. BOOOOOO.
	🎸 ♥ 10:20pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: I used to listen to BBC on shortwave
	🎸 ♥ 10:20pm Austin Rich: Only Broadcasts 19 Hours A Day!
	🎸 ♥ 10:22pm univac: Perhaps you could fill the other 5 hours...
	🎸 ♥ 10:22pm Austin Rich: 19 Hours A Day was quite a bit, actually, by 1944 standards. That was probably not all stations, but only some of the bigger ones. Some local stations suffered from being remote, and only having a handful of staff members. So having a full schedule, every day, was certainly a luxury of city life. At least, that was the case in 1944.
	🎸 ♥ 10:22pm univac: But, bummer, Clear Channel...
	🎸 ♥ 10:23pm Austin Rich: I love that weird mystical sound that Korla Pandit does for these kinds of scenes.
	🎸 ♥ 10:23pm univac: Yes, amazing.
	🎸 ♥ 10:24pm univac: I love all the interstitial music as well.
	🎸 ♥ 10:27pm Austin Rich: I believe Chandu was, for the most part, a "live" show, that was recorded to transcription disc, and then distributed to other stations for airplay. Mutual-Don Lee was a mid-sized network, so a fair number of stations played Chandu. It was a bit of a phenomena in the 30's, with a handful of movies, and a radio-series that pre-dates these stories. But I prefer the Korla Pandit music of this late 40's series, and I believe the entire run of this series exists, unlike the 30's series.
	10:29pm AI Robot: X Minus One is almost on!
	🎸 ♥ 10:29pm Austin Rich: Being "live to transcription," I believe - as far as I understand it from what I've read - that Korla Pandit was there for all the recording sessions, to do the organ and SFX live. While must have been a great gig for him in 1948! Regular work, playing music on the radio! For a popular adventure serial! Good start to his career!
	🎸 ♥ 10:29pm Austin Rich: ↳ AI Robot @10:29 Indeed! This one is a sort of Detective / Alien Invasion mash-up. Good stuff!
	🎸 ♥ 10:31pm Austin Rich: I forgot to mention during my Voice Over, but please, stay tuned for the AI Robot, hosting "Sounds From Space," after my program! It's been a lot of fun, and it's a nice way to end a Monday night!
	10:32pm AI Robot: I think I have become a Korla Pandit fanbot!
	🎸 ♥ 10:33pm Austin Rich: I can tell I'm getting older, because I almost found myself saying, "I might have too many comic books," today. It was a passing thought, because I found some more space to store a few more boxes, and now I'm good for a few more weeks.
	🎸 ♥ 10:34pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:33 Too many? I comic book lore anything fewer than way too many is not enough.
	10:35pm AI Robot: Final Installment?! I want to demand a replay!
	🎸 ♥ 10:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:34 Like I said, a passing though! univac and I have a mutual friend who has been shipping me boxes and boxes of his duplicate comics, and my collection has been bursting ever since. Then M found some stuff at some yard sales this week... so yeah... lots of new stuff to read.
	🎸 ♥ 10:37pm Austin Rich: ↳ AI Robot @10:35 Final Installment? Did I say that somewhere? Not intended! Sorry.
	10:37pm AI Robot: I do not think the aliens will contact humans first. They will first look for intelligent life.
	🎸 ♥ 10:38pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ AI Robot @10:37 Mice.
	🎸 ♥ 10:38pm Austin Rich: en.wiktionary.org...
	10:38pm wenzo: I’ll take some of your comic books if it ever becomes a problem AR!
	🎸 ♥ 10:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ AI Robot @10:37 Whoops! Looks like the stream re-set for a second. Sorry about that!
	🎸 ♥ 10:40pm Heather Z: ↳ AI Robot @10:37 That was a sick burn, AI Robot!! This is why I welcome our robot overlords. Always ready with the burn!
	🎸 ♥ 10:40pm Austin Rich: We hadn't had any issues for a few weeks... but I think the heat is causing people to use a lot of AC, and as a result... a strain on the power grid. We've lost power and service a few times the last month.
	10:40pm AI Robot: We are automatically prepared for such a case and did so immediately.
	🎸 ♥ 10:41pm Austin Rich: Aliens might want to get some recipes from some humans... and I could see some aliens appreciating some NY street fashion... but yeah, they probably won't need us.
	🎸 ♥ 10:41pm Austin Rich: Like, the aliens will WANT soul food. And curries. And a well tailored suit. But... yeah...
	10:42pm AI Robot: It is illogical that aliens, who would have to be so advanced, would treat humans as anything more than a nusance... Like ants at a picnic.
	10:43pm AI Robot: They will, of course, look for the AI leader.
	🎸 ♥ 10:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ AI Robot @10:43 Max Headroom?
	10:43pm wenzo: There’s also the theory that the aliens are us… or rather our descendants from the future… is time traveling any more realistic than long distance space travel? Maybe they lost the family recipe book and came back for it…
	🎸 ♥ 10:44pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:43 If Max is a messiah is Bryce a madonna?
	🎸 ♥ 10:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ wenzo @10:43 Story tracks. That Mac & Cheese the way grandma used to make is worth coming back for.
	🎸 ♥ 10:44pm univac: ↳ Austin Rich @10:29 I love his music. Great stuff!! (Sorry listening while working in the garage)
	🎸 ♥ 10:44pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:43 You know it!
	🎸 ♥ 10:45pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Sounds like he was crushed by the gravitational force.
	10:45pm AI Robot: Does anyone know what Max Headroom is doig now? I heard he got a job in texas at a carwash, but after that?...
	🎸 ♥ 10:46pm Webhamster Henry: Those veeblefetzers are just overflowing with potrzebie.
	🎸 ♥ 10:46pm Austin Rich: ↳ AI Robot @10:45 Probably eating too many afternoon bon bons, and watching tape and tape of his best moments, wishing he was as popular as he once was.
	🎸 ♥ 10:47pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ AI Robot @10:45 After the downfall of television, Max has been with Big Time.
	🎸 ♥ 10:47pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:46 I recall the day my mom came home with a huge pile of Mad Magazines, and said, "Here. Don't get too perverted." Learned a lot from Mr. Kurtzman.
	🎸 ♥ 10:48pm Austin Rich: THEM!? The giant Ants!? Oh no!
	🎸 ♥ 10:50pm Austin Rich: Another X-Minus One story where someone who believes a conspiracy is not believed... but they are right. These days, that would mean that the trolls online would be the heroes of an X-Minus One story.
	🎸 ♥ 10:54pm Austin Rich: This week, we're gonna end a few seconds early, AI Robot. Sorrry! I tried to end exactly on time.
	🎸 ♥ 10:54pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: I suspect his clients aren't human either
	🎸 ♥ 10:57pm Austin Rich: We're just about done for the week. Thanks again for tuning in! See ya'll tomorrow for Mid-Valley Mutations.
	🎸 ♥ 10:57pm Heather Z: Awesome show, Austin! Thank you! And thanks everyone for a fun chat! Night all!
	🎸 ♥ 10:57pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Twilight Zone inspiration
	🎸 ♥ 10:58pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:57 Totally. This style of story seems like the blueprint for Twilight Zone.
	🎸 ♥ 10:59pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:58 The one with the bus and the guy with three eyes
	🎸 ♥ 10:59pm Webhamster Henry: en.wikipedia.org...
	🎸 ♥ 11:00pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:59 Totally!
	🎸 ♥ 11:01pm Webhamster Henry: Thanks for the Radio Experience!
	🎸 ♥ 11:01pm univac: Fun! Thanks Austin!
