I was wondering: Chris Guest usually did those flamboyant/NYC media type voices at the time, thought at first it was him, and esp. if "Ira Schnorrs" is a pseudonym.

NikiA, they are in the process of replacing the 91.1 transmitter. I haven't noticed a signal boost in particular here in Brooklyn, but there's still a Manhattan in the way. So maybe that? Or maybe just random atmospherics, sunspots, Musk satellites, who knows.

In case you didn't see it, Rev. Rab, from the WFMU newsletter:

"Do you like to laugh? Taylor Jessen (sometime DJ of Fuji Puzzle Box on the Sheena's Jungle Room stream) produced reissues for both of the long-out-of-print LPs by America's great lost comedy troupe, Duck's Breath Mystery Theatre, creators of Dr. Science, Ian Shoales, and Randee of the Redwoods. The albums, Out of Season (1980) and Born To Be Tiled (1986), both remastered and packed with bonus material, are now available (ducksbreathmysterytheatre.bandcamp.com). He also produced a new reissue for the Firesign Theatre, Anytown USA, which documents Firesign's live show of the same name from their American tour of 1974, the year of their peak popularity. Get yours here (firesigntheatre.bandcamp.com...)."

Loved Firesign back in the day. Their stuff doesn't hold up. In fact, removed from the context of their times, little of it makes any sense. Also, lots of dumb drug in-jokes. Meh.

Typically it refers to the imaginary "meeting place" in the Atlantic, bits of British diction and American diction. Cary Grant, a good "meet in the middle" English speaking voice.

"Ombibulous" looks like a portmanteau of "omnibibulous" and "ambibulous." Thus, Mr. B reads all books, i.e., both of them. But "bibulous" refers to drink.
