Listener comments!
	👻 7:52pm Austin Rich: Good Hello.
	8:11pm Arvo: Hello! I will be a lurkin' tonight!
	9:00pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Ahoy! Nice to be here! Awesome times to come!
	👻 9:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @8:11 Arvo! You are always welcome to lurk!
	👻 9:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:00 Nice to see you in the chat! Make yourself comfy, and stay a spell.
	👻 9:02pm Austin Rich: "Smog-bound." Even then, LA had a bad rep.
	👻 9:03pm Austin Rich: One of the few "skips" in these archive transcription discs. Glad it was just during the announcer's part.
	9:03pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:01 Oh, I fully intend to. BTW, I attached the list of voice descriptions to the google doc.
	👻 9:03pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:03 Excellent!
	👻 9:05pm Austin Rich: This is one of a "pair" of "musically" themed episodes of Candy Matson. If I had thought about it, I would have had musical "Handy's Candies" ads... Oh well.
	9:05pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:03 the character of Mark, for example, sounds a little like Micky Dolenz did back in the late 70s.
	👻 9:06pm Austin Rich: I think this is one of the few appearances of Henry, Rembrandt's great dane. I would have liked to have more dog appearances, but then again... dogs are just the best.
	👻 9:08pm Austin Rich: A colored light stage show! I guess he pre-figured Laser Light shows, a decade or so later?
	9:09pm Mike Rogers: Hi Austin san!!!!
	👻 9:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mike Rogers @9:09 Mr. Rogers! The radio equivalent of a laser light show!
	9:10pm Mike Rogers: I can’t believe it! It’s sunny today!!!!
	👻 9:10pm Austin Rich: It's pretty sunny up here, too. I guess we go lucky!
	9:10pm Mike Rogers: Well, for the next few hours.... Then rain!
	👻 9:11pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @9:10 got lucky, even...
	9:11pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: it's raining here in New England. At least in Chicopee.
	9:12pm Mike Rogers: Japan has weird weather, but “mostly shitty!”
	👻 9:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:11 Are you suffering from any of the Canadian smoke there?
	9:13pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:12 We did get a few air quality warnings due to it, yes.
	👻 9:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:13 Ouch. Hopefully the rain helps.
	👻 9:15pm Austin Rich: I loved that little bit, where the live organ player does a "Swan Lake" riff. It's a nice touch, and sort of illustrates the skill of the organist... who probably has more chops than they get to show off on this show.
	9:16pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:14 It should
	9:18pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Did you get the picture I emailed you
	👻 9:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:18 of Desdinova? Playing guitar? yes.
	👻 9:19pm Austin Rich: I was editing ahead - for Dimestore - and it was sad to hear the last couple episodes of Candy. While many are missing, the FINAL episode does exist.
	9:19pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:18 Made with Sims 4. Background done with Pixlr.
	👻 9:19pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:19 Nice!
	👻 9:21pm Austin Rich: "Come As You Are." Apparently, Rembrandt... wasn't dressed? I guess we shouldn't ask questions...
	9:21pm wenzo: Hey Austin!
	👻 9:21pm Austin Rich: I was considering playing a couple "Double Features" from Lux Radio Theater between Candy Matson and the show that follows it. I found some shows that feature Alan Ladd as the lead, and it might be fun to have him back on the show, after his absence after Box 13 ended.
	👻 9:22pm Austin Rich: I love the organ in this section.
	👻 9:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ wenzo @9:21 Nice to see you in the chat, wenzo! Make yourself comfy! Stay a spell!
	9:23pm wenzo: I shall lurk for 1 metric spell
	9:24pm Mike Rogers: If he were Irish, they'd say, "He's a good lad, that Ladd!"
	👻 9:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ wenzo @9:23 Excellent!
	9:24pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:22 So do i. I wonder what kind of instrument we should use for the cues in our show
	👻 9:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:24 I figured I would try to compose some stuff. I figure it'll need to sound period, to a degree.
	9:27pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:25 I look forward to hearing what you come up with.
	👻 9:27pm Austin Rich: This lighting gag is a pretty good. I do appreciate all the actual detective motifs that this show comes up with. Some fairly inventive.
	9:31pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:27 I like how so much radio deals in visual effect
	👻 9:33pm Austin Rich: Another reference to Candy enjoying "Bop" music. Rembrandt says that he listens too, but only after adding that he's a hipster, and usually keeps up with all the musical "trends." Rembrandt is of a "vague" age - older, certainly - so I'm guessing his music tastes were formed in the 30's.
	👻 9:36pm Austin Rich: Damn. Giving Sailor the cold shoulder? He'll be lucky if she comes back, dude...
	9:36pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Uh oh.
	9:36pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @9:33 See, now I gotta rip some quotes from this episode. Yr making more work for me, Austin!
	👻 9:37pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:36 I should start cutting the best bits from Old Radio Shows for the Sheena-bot.
	9:37pm Mr Fab: Saying she’s into bop in 1950 is pretty damn hip.
	9:38pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @9:37 I would not stand in your way!
	9:39pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Sailors got the measure of that interloper.
	👻 9:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @9:38 I feel like I promised some stuff at one point. There's always something else to do...
	👻 9:41pm Austin Rich: Man, Slate is up to no good this episode! I don't remember hearing this one before.
	👻 9:42pm Austin Rich: It's not the best Bacall singing I've heard, but... it's not bad, either! How interesting...
	9:43pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:42 She's angry and heartsick.
	👻 9:44pm Austin Rich: I tried to get rid of the background noise on this one, but it sort of muddied things when I did. But the sound isn't that bad.
	9:44pm Mike Rogers: Sounds fine to me!
	👻 9:50pm Austin Rich: "I'll need you to lace my gloves." Yeah, I'm not sure who she'll want to punch more. The old flame, or Slate?
	👻 9:52pm Austin Rich: "Fan Tan" is a card game. bicyclecards.com...
	👻 9:52pm Austin Rich: I had to look that one up; I'd never heard of it before.
	👻 9:54pm Austin Rich: I'm surprised Sailor didn't get into a fight there.
	👻 9:55pm Austin Rich: Six hours of Fan Tan? I'm not sure I like any card game that much.
	👻 9:56pm Austin Rich: "Let's wrap this thing up." Code for: there's not much plot left.
	👻 10:00pm Austin Rich: "Find the lost chord." Oh my!
	10:02pm Webhamster Henry: I'm here, I was just in the other room , beating up Slade.
	👻 10:03pm Heather Z: Can confirm, it is dark in NY!
	10:03pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Heather Z @10:03 And New England
	10:04pm Dean: Never thought much of Bogart as an actor. Can't tell from film, only slightly from radio. Did he work the stage? Do we have a record? West Coast here: not just "still afternoon," but the neighbor across the street to the east parked one of those big bloated fat vans (a la Amazon) across the street, and the sun beating down on its glossy white surface glares through my front window, blinding me.
	👻 10:04pm Heather Z: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:03 Late night radio party time for the two of us!
	10:05pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Heather Z @10:04 Best kind of party.
	👻 10:07pm Heather Z: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:05 I agree!!
	10:07pm Dean: My pleasure. Your remarks partly explain my query: I don't have a lot of exposure to Bogie's "range."
	10:07pm Arvo: I hope you all are handling the smoke okay.
	10:08pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Arvo @10:07 The rain is helping.
	10:08pm Dean: Berkeley represent!
	👻 10:09pm Austin Rich: After today, there is only one more installment of "Empire of The Air." I've been reviewing other documentaries to run, about radio. If anyone knows of a favorite "documentary about radio," I'll be interested!
	👻 10:10pm Heather Z: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:08 Here too. I just messaged a friend in Peterborough and asked how things are up there. I will report back if I hear!
	10:11pm Arvo: Only thing that comes to mind is that documentary of the BBC workshop with Delia Derbyshire, creator of the theme to Doctor Who, among other things, but that's probably not what you're thinking.
	👻 10:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:11 That is a good one! I think there's some radio stuff in that one? I'll have to review it.
	10:13pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @10:12 I will have to look again, but I thought it was a "radiophonic" workshop? I thought they did radio things, but maybe it is a video documentary, not a radio documentary.
	10:14pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: The way radio passed the baton to tv can be heard in the way early tv series had an announcer. Like the voice that exclaimed "Elizabeth Montgomery in... Bewitched"
	👻 10:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:13 That was my memory. But I haven't seen it in years.
	👻 10:15pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:14 A good chunk of the older radio shows also transitioned to TV, too. Most of the first wave of TV were all shows that started on radio.
	10:15pm Arvo: I wish The Shadow was on black and white TV.
	10:17pm Webhamster Henry: I think some of these subjects might have been made into documentaries: www.wfmu.org...
	10:17pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: When you do Lux, try to do Naughty Marietta. Nelson Eddie does a really good musical number called The Owl and the Bobcat.
	👻 10:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:17 Oh! Look at that...
	10:20pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Austin Rich @10:18 A page I put together in 1997....
	10:20pm Webhamster Henry: Just put on any other documentary with Jason Robards narrating....
	👻 10:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:20 Seriously! He's really good at it. Very soothing voice.
	👻 10:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:20 Perhaps this one about boating, I guess? www.imdb.com...
	👻 10:23pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @10:21 He also narrated this one: "Helen Hayes: The First Lady of the American Theatre"
	👻 10:27pm Heather Z: ↳ Heather Z @10:10 My Peterborough friend says the fires aren't too bad right now for property damage or injuries but it's a terrible amount of trees and land on fire.
	👻 10:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:27 It's always the trees and the smoke that is worrisome here. A few people loose houses, sure. But the smoke! The trees! Yikes!
	10:29pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Heather Z @10:27 I'm glad there wasn't too much property damage.
	👻 10:29pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:28 I know y'all have fire season, too, and it's awful. Here, fire season means I have people over to the patio for a fire pit.
	👻 10:30pm Heather Z: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:29 Me too! I didn't know this but my friend says the US and Canada send firefighters to help each other. It's sad that has to happen but also heartening in a way!
	👻 10:31pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:29 Yeah. Very soon we won't be able to have fire-pit fires until the fall. Though, if there is a bad fire, it's usually very hard to get people to want to sit around a fire pit after that. It's been pretty traumatic, the last few years.
	10:32pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Heather Z @10:30 It is good to know that such a friendship exists between the two places
	👻 10:34pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:32 I would hope a bad fire sort of transcends borders. That sort of seems practical.
	👻 10:35pm Austin Rich: When this particular story was run on Dimension X, the sound quality of the recording was awful. So it's nice to have this X-Minus One version, where the audio is much more clear.
	10:35pm Mike Rogers: X Minus One!!!!!
	10:35pm Mike Rogers: This is my AI Robots' favorite show!
	10:36pm Webhamster Henry: I've been binge listening to X-1 on archive.org
	👻 10:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mike Rogers @10:35 It's one of my faves, too!
	10:36pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Austin Rich @10:35 Yes, the quality is great on these!
	👻 10:36pm Heather Z: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:32 It really is. My friend says it's all the firefighters working together and not a government thing but the governments do endorse the sharing!
	👻 10:37pm Austin Rich: While the radio adaptation is by George Lefferts - who did a LOT of scripts for X-Minus One. The original story is from the 30's, by Fletcher Pratt. It's another detective story... sort of...
	👻 10:37pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:31 Even here last week, people were complaining about fire pit fires. But... I did have friends over on Saturday and we had a good fire hang! 🔥
	👻 10:38pm Austin Rich: I think the "dark" tone of X-Minus One, and Dimension X, comes from the dark sense of humor of George Lefferts and Ernest Kinoy. They seem to find all sorts of "dark" sci-fi stories for this series, and the ones they write themselves are pretty dark, too. It's great... but... it makes me wonder what their bull-sessions were like? I can only imagine they had some pretty strange ideas.
	👻 10:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:37 It's so much more rare up here, now. Hopefully it doesn't get so bad there.
	10:40pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Austin, let me know if you need any other info for our show
	👻 10:43pm Austin Rich: Playing cards seems to connect the shows tonight. Weird...
	👻 10:43pm Austin Rich: Completely by accident... but... curious...
	10:43pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Sanitariums don't cure people. Like they say in Johnny Mnemonic says treating the disease is more profitable.
	👻 10:44pm Austin Rich: "Junk." Heroin addict. Interesting.
	👻 10:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:43 Another institution, to separate people from their money.
	10:47pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: I wonder if the charity ward is like live spare parts
	👻 10:48pm Heather Z: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:47 Perhaps almost.... a body bank?
	👻 10:49pm David Shortell: Fletcher Pratt’s “Dr. Grimshaw's Sanitarium” was first printed in the May 1934 issue of Amazing Stories. Read it here: archive.org...
	10:49pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Heather Z @10:48 Maybe
	👻 10:49pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:49 Yes! Nice find!
	👻 10:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:49 The bookstore I work at, here in the Mid-Valley, has a rare book room, with a number of old Amazing Stories issues for sale. I've been tempted to buy some... but... they are not cheap.
	👻 10:51pm Austin Rich: Oh, he's a war criminal? Of course...
	👻 10:52pm David Shortell: Ken Kesey's sanitarium novel publicized illegal lobotomies. A stop was soon put to them.
	👻 10:53pm Austin Rich: No connection issues this week! (So far.) Seems like that was just a glitch, for a couple weeks.
	👻 10:53pm Austin Rich: We're just about to wrap up here. Thanks everyone for joining us! Stick around for Mike Rogers new show!
	10:54pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:53 It was a lot of fun tonight.
	👻 10:55pm Heather Z: Thanks for a fun time, all! I'll be tuned in for Mike's show, too! Last week's debut was awesome!
	👻 10:55pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:54 Thanks for joining. Steve Roberts interview tomorrow!
	10:55pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: What about the cat?
	👻 10:56pm Austin Rich: This episode had a dog and a cat, between all the shows. Another accident... but... curious...
	10:59pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:55 Yay
	👻 11:00pm WR: Thank you! Austin! Laters.

	👻 9:56pm Austin Rich: "Let's wrap this thing up." Code for: there's not much plot left.
	👻 10:00pm Austin Rich: "Find the lost chord." Oh my!
	10:02pm Webhamster Henry: I'm here, I was just in the other room , beating up Slade.
	👻 10:03pm Heather Z: Can confirm, it is dark in NY!
	10:03pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Heather Z @10:03 And New England
	10:04pm Dean: Never thought much of Bogart as an actor. Can't tell from film, only slightly from radio. Did he work the stage? Do we have a record? West Coast here: not just "still afternoon," but the neighbor across the street to the east parked one of those big bloated fat vans (a la Amazon) across the street, and the sun beating down on its glossy white surface glares through my front window, blinding me.
	👻 10:04pm Heather Z: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:03 Late night radio party time for the two of us!
	10:05pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Heather Z @10:04 Best kind of party.
	👻 10:07pm Heather Z: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:05 I agree!!
	10:07pm Dean: My pleasure. Your remarks partly explain my query: I don't have a lot of exposure to Bogie's "range."
	10:07pm Arvo: I hope you all are handling the smoke okay.
	10:08pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Arvo @10:07 The rain is helping.
	10:08pm Dean: Berkeley represent!
	👻 10:09pm Austin Rich: After today, there is only one more installment of "Empire of The Air." I've been reviewing other documentaries to run, about radio. If anyone knows of a favorite "documentary about radio," I'll be interested!
	👻 10:10pm Heather Z: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:08 Here too. I just messaged a friend in Peterborough and asked how things are up there. I will report back if I hear!
	10:11pm Arvo: Only thing that comes to mind is that documentary of the BBC workshop with Delia Derbyshire, creator of the theme to Doctor Who, among other things, but that's probably not what you're thinking.
	👻 10:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:11 That is a good one! I think there's some radio stuff in that one? I'll have to review it.
	10:13pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @10:12 I will have to look again, but I thought it was a "radiophonic" workshop? I thought they did radio things, but maybe it is a video documentary, not a radio documentary.
	10:14pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: The way radio passed the baton to tv can be heard in the way early tv series had an announcer. Like the voice that exclaimed "Elizabeth Montgomery in... Bewitched"
	👻 10:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:13 That was my memory. But I haven't seen it in years.
	👻 10:15pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:14 A good chunk of the older radio shows also transitioned to TV, too. Most of the first wave of TV were all shows that started on radio.
	10:15pm Arvo: I wish The Shadow was on black and white TV.
	10:17pm Webhamster Henry: I think some of these subjects might have been made into documentaries: www.wfmu.org...
	10:17pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: When you do Lux, try to do Naughty Marietta. Nelson Eddie does a really good musical number called The Owl and the Bobcat.
	👻 10:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:17 Oh! Look at that...
	10:20pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Austin Rich @10:18 A page I put together in 1997....
	10:20pm Webhamster Henry: Just put on any other documentary with Jason Robards narrating....
	👻 10:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:20 Seriously! He's really good at it. Very soothing voice.
	👻 10:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:20 Perhaps this one about boating, I guess? www.imdb.com...
	👻 10:23pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @10:21 He also narrated this one: "Helen Hayes: The First Lady of the American Theatre"
	👻 10:27pm Heather Z: ↳ Heather Z @10:10 My Peterborough friend says the fires aren't too bad right now for property damage or injuries but it's a terrible amount of trees and land on fire.
	👻 10:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:27 It's always the trees and the smoke that is worrisome here. A few people loose houses, sure. But the smoke! The trees! Yikes!
	10:29pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Heather Z @10:27 I'm glad there wasn't too much property damage.
	👻 10:29pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:28 I know y'all have fire season, too, and it's awful. Here, fire season means I have people over to the patio for a fire pit.
	👻 10:30pm Heather Z: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:29 Me too! I didn't know this but my friend says the US and Canada send firefighters to help each other. It's sad that has to happen but also heartening in a way!
	👻 10:31pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:29 Yeah. Very soon we won't be able to have fire-pit fires until the fall. Though, if there is a bad fire, it's usually very hard to get people to want to sit around a fire pit after that. It's been pretty traumatic, the last few years.
	10:32pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Heather Z @10:30 It is good to know that such a friendship exists between the two places
	👻 10:34pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:32 I would hope a bad fire sort of transcends borders. That sort of seems practical.
	👻 10:35pm Austin Rich: When this particular story was run on Dimension X, the sound quality of the recording was awful. So it's nice to have this X-Minus One version, where the audio is much more clear.
	10:35pm Mike Rogers: X Minus One!!!!!
	10:35pm Mike Rogers: This is my AI Robots' favorite show!
	10:36pm Webhamster Henry: I've been binge listening to X-1 on archive.org
	👻 10:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mike Rogers @10:35 It's one of my faves, too!
	10:36pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Austin Rich @10:35 Yes, the quality is great on these!
	👻 10:36pm Heather Z: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:32 It really is. My friend says it's all the firefighters working together and not a government thing but the governments do endorse the sharing!
	👻 10:37pm Austin Rich: While the radio adaptation is by George Lefferts - who did a LOT of scripts for X-Minus One. The original story is from the 30's, by Fletcher Pratt. It's another detective story... sort of...
	👻 10:37pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:31 Even here last week, people were complaining about fire pit fires. But... I did have friends over on Saturday and we had a good fire hang! 🔥
	👻 10:38pm Austin Rich: I think the "dark" tone of X-Minus One, and Dimension X, comes from the dark sense of humor of George Lefferts and Ernest Kinoy. They seem to find all sorts of "dark" sci-fi stories for this series, and the ones they write themselves are pretty dark, too. It's great... but... it makes me wonder what their bull-sessions were like? I can only imagine they had some pretty strange ideas.
	👻 10:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:37 It's so much more rare up here, now. Hopefully it doesn't get so bad there.
	10:40pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Austin, let me know if you need any other info for our show
	👻 10:43pm Austin Rich: Playing cards seems to connect the shows tonight. Weird...
	👻 10:43pm Austin Rich: Completely by accident... but... curious...
	10:43pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Sanitariums don't cure people. Like they say in Johnny Mnemonic says treating the disease is more profitable.
	👻 10:44pm Austin Rich: "Junk." Heroin addict. Interesting.
	👻 10:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:43 Another institution, to separate people from their money.
	10:47pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: I wonder if the charity ward is like live spare parts
	👻 10:48pm Heather Z: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:47 Perhaps almost.... a body bank?
	👻 10:49pm David Shortell: Fletcher Pratt’s “Dr. Grimshaw's Sanitarium” was first printed in the May 1934 issue of Amazing Stories. Read it here: archive.org...
	10:49pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Heather Z @10:48 Maybe
	👻 10:49pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:49 Yes! Nice find!
	👻 10:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:49 The bookstore I work at, here in the Mid-Valley, has a rare book room, with a number of old Amazing Stories issues for sale. I've been tempted to buy some... but... they are not cheap.
	👻 10:51pm Austin Rich: Oh, he's a war criminal? Of course...
	👻 10:52pm David Shortell: Ken Kesey's sanitarium novel publicized illegal lobotomies. A stop was soon put to them.
	👻 10:53pm Austin Rich: No connection issues this week! (So far.) Seems like that was just a glitch, for a couple weeks.
	👻 10:53pm Austin Rich: We're just about to wrap up here. Thanks everyone for joining us! Stick around for Mike Rogers new show!
	10:54pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:53 It was a lot of fun tonight.
	👻 10:55pm Heather Z: Thanks for a fun time, all! I'll be tuned in for Mike's show, too! Last week's debut was awesome!
	👻 10:55pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:54 Thanks for joining. Steve Roberts interview tomorrow!
	10:55pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: What about the cat?
	👻 10:56pm Austin Rich: This episode had a dog and a cat, between all the shows. Another accident... but... curious...
	10:59pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:55 Yay
	👻 11:00pm WR: Thank you! Austin! Laters.
