WFMU: Dimestore Radio Theater with Austin Rich: Playlist from July 17, 2023

Listener comments!
	👻 6:20pm Austin Rich: Good Hello.
	8:13pm Arvo: howdy! just finished being interviewed by watt! now time for dimestore revelations!
	9:00pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Ahoy!
	👻 9:00pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @8:13 I saw that! I was gonna listen tomorrow. Looking forward to it.
	9:00pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Last?! Oh no!
	👻 9:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:00 Imaginos! Thanks for sticking around.
	9:01pm Charles: Candy's last case
	9:01pm Webhamster Henry: WE're getting to the bottom of the Candy Bowl. YU-20289
	👻 9:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ Charles @9:01 Yep. But we'll get one more episode next week...
	9:01pm Charles: I hope she wins.
	👻 9:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:01 It's true. There's always an end to... Handy's Fine Candies.
	👻 9:05pm Austin Rich: As indicated elsewhere, this is a transcription recording of the final episode of the original Candy Matson show, which had run for about 90 some episodes by the 29th of April, 1951. However, a little over a year later, they launched a new pilot... fully pre-recorded, instead of live, and with canned NBC music transitions, and SFX, like with many pre-produced shows. However, the show was not picked up... so all that exists is the pilot, which we will hear next week. Then... we'll take two weeks off for summer, and run some movies on the radio.
	9:06pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Got tunein. Feels weird hearing the show from the tv instead of my tablet.
	👻 9:06pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:06 Occasionally I listen to podcasts and radio on my TV, and it really does feel weird. Like, "We Now Live In The Future!"
	9:07pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:06 20 minutes into the Future
	👻 9:07pm Austin Rich: There was a little skip there. "...even in the dark glasses." I think the full line was, "I recognize that man anywhere..."
	9:08pm Arvo: I played Nosferatu on the radio in its entirety. True story
	👻 9:08pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:08 Very cool. The music is pretty fantastic.
	9:10pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: I have a hunch
	👻 9:10pm Austin Rich: As I have quipped before, "Candy's life will change forever after this episode."
	9:11pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:10 I suspect you're right.
	9:11pm Charles: i take it back then
	9:12pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Charles @9:11 Don't be so quick. I think she will, but not the way she thinks
	👻 9:15pm Austin Rich: "Wear these shades when you're carrying the ice." It's a pretty good gimmick.
	9:15pm Arvo: There is an LP where someone thought it was a good idea to do a "radio play" version of a Bogart film, "They Drive By Night", which was famously sampled by Foetus.
	👻 9:16pm Austin Rich: "Who would think to look in a woman's purse?" One thing I've learned in life: NEVER look through a woman's purse. EVER.
	👻 9:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:15 Oh! Interesting. I should track that down.
	9:16pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:16 Some women even hide dogs in their purses
	9:17pm Charles: oh that commercial made me sad it WILL be hard to say bye to Candy :(
	👻 9:17pm Austin Rich: "Slip slidin' away..."
	9:17pm Arvo: Now I am trying to think of all the movies I played on the radio: BEGOTTEN TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE DEMENTIA/DAUGHTER OF HORROR CARNIVAL OF SOULS JECKYLL & HYDE (SILENT)
	9:18pm Arvo: You can have an episode called "TV ON THE RADIO"
	👻 9:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:17 Nice! Carnival of Souls!
	👻 9:19pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:18 Perfect!
	9:20pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Arvo @9:17 How do you play a silent movie on radio?
	👻 9:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:20 Very carefully?
	9:20pm Charles: woah that Montgomery guy is awesome
	👻 9:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ Charles @9:20 And, again, it illustrates how Candy likes to hang out in bars, as referenced quite often in the show. In 1951, the kinds of seedy bars Candy goes to in this show would not usually have women hanging out in them. But... Candy does what Candy wants.
	9:23pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:22 Candy would be right at home at Caligula's Ouzo Bar.
	9:24pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @9:20 That's wot my grandma used to say!
	👻 9:24pm Austin Rich: I would love to do a story where she had to help Edison solve a crime.
	👻 9:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:24 Grandma's have the best sayings.
	👻 9:26pm Austin Rich: "Lysol Dip." Yikes.
	9:26pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:24 Three way crossover. Candy Matson, Max Headroom, and Doctor Who?
	👻 9:27pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:26 Maybe Candy gets a chance to be a companion?
	9:28pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:27 That's what I was thinking
	👻 9:28pm Austin Rich: For the record: Mallard is sort of a jerk in this exchange.
	9:29pm Charles: FINAL ORGAN STING
	9:29pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Knew it!
	👻 9:29pm Austin Rich: The show ends with a "Bang."
	👻 9:30pm Austin Rich: "Ta da."
	👻 9:31pm WR: ↳ Austin Rich @9:28 Also consider the script is written by the lead actress's husband. And consider that they are playing to how they conceive of their audience.
	9:32pm Webhamster Henry: Candy Mallard?Bleah.
	👻 9:32pm Austin Rich: I really hope Mallard is worth it. I sort of didn't like him.
	👻 9:32pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:32 Seriously.
	9:32pm Charles: I'm digging the clapping.
	9:33pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Austin Rich @9:32 They'll honeymoon in Havana and Shannon will plug him.
	👻 9:33pm Austin Rich: ↳ WR @9:31 Yeah. It really blows me away, every time I listen to that show. My theory: while it says that Monty "wrote" the show, I have to think that Natalie was telling him, "So, this is what I think Candy would do..."
	👻 9:33pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:33 Nice crossover idea!
	👻 9:35pm Austin Rich: "I might fog your glasses." Please?
	9:35pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:33 I agree
	9:36pm Arvo: I still tell certain ladies they are the bee's knees...
	👻 9:36pm David Shortell: The Bold Venture episode “Haven’s Venezuelan Isle” played last night on CHML. Have you gotten that far yet?
	👻 9:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:35 Yeah. She's dreamy...
	👻 9:37pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @9:36 Not yet. I think that's episode 50 something...?
	👻 9:37pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:36 I have both used that line, and had that line used on me. It's peachy, and I would like to encourage it more.
	9:37pm Arvo: I once found a cassette with episodes of The Honeymooners dubbed onto it, in a thrift store. I did air a good chunk of it.
	9:38pm Charles: I'll really miss BoOold Venture when we'll be done with it. I try to fight off sleep as much as I can during Dimestore (because it's late, not because I'm bored) and I usually drift off during that show. There's nothing like falling asleep with Bogart and Bacall. Very comforting.
	9:38pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @9:37 I don't think anybody ever said I'm the bee's knees. :-(
	👻 9:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:37 That's a great find! People used to tape the audio from TV shows. (I certainly did, to get theme songs, or samples for mix tapes.) I would love to stumble on tapes like that.
	👻 9:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ Charles @9:38 That does sound great.
	9:40pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: For our reading I am thinking of just reading as far as the kitchen scene at the bar.
	👻 9:41pm Austin Rich: "Direction / confection"? That was not where I thought King Moses would take that song.
	👻 9:42pm Austin Rich: Bogart says of King Moses, "You've got good eyes." Another indication that, while King Moses might not have been present for every moment of the show, he seems to have some sort of omniscient awareness of everything that happens everywhere, and can relate it to you... in song form.
	9:42pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: We can do more. But I'm thinking Heather has been through a lot lately.
	👻 9:43pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo @9:38 It's cause you're the elephant's eyebrows. Hi all!
	👻 9:43pm Austin Rich: Fluttering Bacall? Please?
	9:43pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:42 Makes you wonder if King Moses has the eyes of the Loa.
	👻 9:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @9:43 Hooray! Nice to see you in the chat tonight!
	👻 9:44pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @9:43 Tuned in and enjoying the show!
	👻 9:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:43 I'll have to read up on this. I don't know it!
	👻 9:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @9:44 I hope Brian knows he's on the show tonight?
	👻 9:46pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @9:45 I'll message him
	👻 9:47pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: ""Shannon's A Sucker"" by "Bold Venture" Something tells me that naming this episode "Shannon's A Sucker" sort of spoils that reveal that happens just before the commercial break. I have a feeling they were not so worried about "spoilers" in 1951.
	9:48pm Webhamster Henry: Well we got past the "Slate gets beat up " part of the show.
	👻 9:48pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:48 I can't count the number of times Shannon has been knocked out in this show, but certainly, as this point, he should probably be suffering from some sort of boxer-style brain damage.
	👻 9:49pm Austin Rich: "With your brain in a sling." Ouch.
	👻 9:51pm Austin Rich: A rare guitar passage that is not King Moses' usual song.
	9:53pm Brian: I'm on the show?
	👻 9:53pm Austin Rich: ↳ Brian @9:53 Brian! Yes, in the next 20 minutes, even.
	👻 9:54pm Heather Z: ↳ Brian @9:53 Hey Brian!!
	9:55pm Webhamster Henry: its about 106 miles to Key West from Havana.
	9:55pm Arvo: ↳ Heather Z @9:43 Aw shucks! Thanks, kitty cat!
	👻 9:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:55 I almost looked that up! Thanks.
	9:56pm Arvo: I'm the bee in your bonnet.
	9:57pm Arvo: The jig is up!
	👻 9:57pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo @9:56 I'm the bat in your belfry.
	10:00pm Brian: Radio needs more close magic
	10:00pm Webhamster Henry: Card tricks on the radio... sure. Like ventriloquism.
	10:01pm Arvo: I'm invisible! See?
	10:01pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Brian @10:00 There's always Blackstone
	10:03pm Arvo: Thank you!
	👻 10:03pm Heather Z: I would like a link to this Watt interview for later on! Maybe Weds as tonight is Sounds From Space after this and MVM is tomorrow!
	10:04pm Nick K: Hi
	👻 10:05pm Heather Z: Hungry hungry cement mixers.....
	10:06pm Arvo: ↳ Heather Z @10:03 Gosh! Thanks! It's about three hours and I speak for around 45 mins between music. I understand if that's too long... https://www.twfps.com/past-episodes/on-air-guest-arvo-zylo-from-seattle-wa-via-skype
	10:06pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: That reminds me of the Twilight Zone episode of the Old Man in the cave.
	10:06pm Brian: Worse, they don't eat because they're hungry. They like the taste.
	👻 10:06pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo @10:06 I'm here all night! Every night pretty much! Thanks so much!
	👻 10:07pm Heather Z: ↳ Brian @10:06 That's too true!
	10:08pm Webhamster Henry: The Harry Limes are kind of international, but super repetitive plots, I think.
	10:08pm Arvo: I'm not making a request, per se, but I remember my favorites being The Shadow, Inner Sanctum, and Dimension X. Also, there was Batman old time radio that I quite enjoyed...
	10:10pm Arvo: I miss my barrelhouse piano record...
	10:10pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Who is shorter? Atom Ant or Inch High Private Eye?
	👻 10:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:08 Oh man, I do love Inner Sanctum. That show is VERY good, and there's not enough horror on this show.
	👻 10:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:10 Only Yoda can say for sure.
	10:12pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: What if Maximum Overdrive took place just before Night of the Comet?
	10:13pm Arvo: Stephen King was at his cocaine peak during that time. He wrote those books with kleenex in both nostrils... and listening to Metallica....
	👻 10:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:12 I really LOVE Night of The Comet. A friend of mine - who has passed away, unfortunately - worked on that movie, and did the music. for it. (Plus, I saw Night of The Comet as a kid, and it terrified me.)
	10:14pm Webhamster Henry: Hey! I was a catsitter for Keith Gordon!
	👻 10:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:13 I love that image!
	10:14pm AI Robot: Hello from super hot Tokyo to my favorite DJ, Austin Rich san!
	👻 10:15pm Austin Rich: ↳ AI Robot @10:14 Ahhh, you are too sweet, AI Robot!
	👻 10:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:14 Woah! Very cool!
	👻 10:17pm Austin Rich: My grandmother operated a punch-card computer for Boeing. She didn't do any programming; she just operated, as she was taught to do. But certainly... that was one of her jobs at Boeing after the war.
	10:17pm Webhamster Henry: Talking computers! www.wfmu.org...
	10:18pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: The women programmed the computers to take over to show overconfident men they weren't the top of the food chain.
	10:19pm Webhamster Henry: I used to do a lot of dialup .. to home computers and to IBM Mainframes.
	10:20pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:19 Go one letter to the left.
	👻 10:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:19 My introduction to the internet was via dial-up in the early 90's. And the only reason I knew about that stuff was because all my nerd friends were on it, telling me I had to get online.
	10:20pm Arvo: I'm still waiting for picture frames that project looping video art and alternate between mirrors or different themes, depending on guests and so forth.
	10:21pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Austin Rich @10:20 Austin san! We're you a Compuserve user?
	10:21pm Brian: In 1984, I saw a demonstration of a bbs that went over the shortwave
	👻 10:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:20 That seems like it should be possible... but I guess I wouldn't know how to do it.
	10:21pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Mike Rogers @10:21 I used to use The Source.
	10:22pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @10:21 It's possible, but I guess you would have to make it look more like real art to have a mass appeal.
	👻 10:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mike Rogers @10:21 We had a local service in Eugene, Oregon, called The Eugene Freenet. (I think they are, technically, still around.) You gave them your phone number, and some other information, and they hooked you up with an account. Then you dialed in... and you could look at text-pages on the internet. (I couldn't load images in those days... what was it... 1400 baud?)
	10:23pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Austin Rich @10:20 My Jr. High's math lab's teletype was hard-wired to Dartmouth Time Sharing System in 1968-9 or so. Yes, I'm the one guy that benefitted from "New Math".
	👻 10:23pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:22 That's what I would like to see... some visual artists make cool, interactive picture frames.
	👻 10:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:23 That's pretty cool! I always read about that era of computing and I really feel like it was something special.
	👻 10:24pm Austin Rich: While I do try to sort of follow the story of Chandu, I have to admit: I mostly listen for the music.
	👻 10:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @10:24 (Is that like reading Playboy for the articles?)
	10:24pm Arvo: They make kindle readers that replicate book pages. I just think they would have the equivalent with framed art by now, so that one could change their mind often, as they do with most everything else. It's an invention that seems inevitable but certainly not one I am willing to patent or pursue.
	10:26pm Arvo: I think Perry Mason was the only one that I listened to as something other than music.
	👻 10:26pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:24 I bet if I posed the question to some tech guys I know, they could make something that could do that. But I'm not sure if there's a bespoke one on the market that is easy to use. Someday...
	10:26pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:24 Its like watching horror movies for the wallpaper.
	👻 10:27pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:26 I do like to watch 70's movies for the way rooms and houses are decorated.
	👻 10:27pm Heather Z: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:26 Or watching The Circle for the set design!
	10:27pm Brian: horror movies have the best wallpaper
	10:27pm Arvo: Horror is almost entirely nostalgia for me.
	👻 10:27pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:27 I know you were impressed, but the design was only so-so for me, in The Circle. While it was good design... it was not for me.
	10:28pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Arvo @10:24 Did you ever see Antitrus?
	👻 10:28pm Austin Rich: The romantic music behind this scene is really a-typical of this show, and yet... is perfect!
	👻 10:28pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:27 Sometimes I need Wayfair chic! Maybe a little Crate and Barrel thrown in? Wee bit o shiplap.
	10:29pm Arvo: I could just watch a guided tour of the Addams Family mansion or any other Victorian nouveau riche vintage celluloid.
	10:29pm Arvo: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:28 I have not!
	10:29pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Arvo @10:29 Gull Cottage.
	👻 10:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:29 My favorite genre of movie is, "People wandering around in an old house / mansion where there are ghosts and old suits of armor." I could watch a movie like that every night.
	10:30pm Arvo: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:29 nice!
	10:30pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Arvo @10:29 There's a framed picture that changes
	10:32pm Arvo: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:30 Any mansion with a painting that has missing eyeholes!
	👻 10:32pm Austin Rich: Brian and Heather: in case I haven't said it enough: thanks for having that conversation about "Nightmare." There will be more installments of that chat, the next one being... next week!
	👻 10:32pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:32 Yes!
	10:33pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Had a chocolate Undae.
	👻 10:33pm Austin Rich: This is one of my all-time favorite "wandering around a castle" style movie: en.wikipedia.org...
	10:33pm Arvo: I used to watch my VHS of Scooby Doo Meets The Boo Brothers, and also Groovie Goolies, basically every day after school....
	👻 10:34pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @10:33 "Horror Island" is only about 60 minutes, has jokes and some good jump scares, and is largely a lot of people confusingly wandering around a castle, on an island. It's GREAT.
	10:34pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:33 That's hot chocolate sauce over frozen whipped cream.
	👻 10:34pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:33 I was certainly rushing home for Scooby Doo after school!
	10:34pm AI Robot: X Minus One!!!!
	👻 10:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ AI Robot @10:34 Our favorite show!
	10:35pm AI Robot: Yes!
	10:35pm Arvo: If I remember right, Scooby Doo Meets The Boo Brothers is a feature film entirely set in a haunted castle.
	10:35pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:35 I watched Scooby on weekends and The Monkees after school
	👻 10:36pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:32 Thank you for having me on! It's always fun to talk with you two and I'm a fan of X Minus One from way back when! I'm so up for any more chats you want me for!
	10:36pm Brian: 23
	10:37pm Webhamster Henry: June 3, 1997 - my son was about 1 month old.
	👻 10:38pm Austin Rich: Conveniently, my book store has many back issues of "Astounding Science Fiction" magazine, the magazine that sponsored this show. They are usually about 25 - 50 dollars each, depending on how much Bradbury is in them. The magazine eventually became "Analog," which is still in publication, and you can still submit to, with a fairly good chance they will run yours story, if you keep trying.
	10:39pm Arvo: The serum never works the first time...
	10:41pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Dozing off.
	👻 10:41pm Austin Rich: "Street & Smith" published "Astounding," and was one of the first pulp publishers at the end of the 1800s. Street & Smith, which had some success with sci-fi, decided to try a magazine entirely dedicated to it, and took submissions from fans and readers, who were often skilled sci-fi authors. Quickly, the magazine began to cultivate a good crew of excellent authors, who all went on to fame afterwards.
	👻 10:42pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:41 Sleep well! Thanks for joining us!
	👻 10:42pm Heather Z: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:41 Good night! See you here tomorrow maybe!
	10:42pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:42 See you tomorrow
	👻 10:42pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:37 I think I was living in Eugene by then, and my first band was winding down. But we had some good times.
	10:42pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Heather Z @10:42 Good night
	👻 10:43pm Austin Rich: The "ethnic slur" they use in this show almost sounds worse, in 2023, than it did when I first heard this story. But most likely, it was just as shocking, even then.
	10:43pm AI Robot: "Dignity of earth men???"
	👻 10:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ AI Robot @10:43 Yeah, that's not the case.
	👻 10:44pm Heather Z: ↳ AI Robot @10:43 I rolled my very human eyes at that, too!
	10:44pm wenzo: Yo
	👻 10:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ wenzo @10:44 Wenzo! Now it's a party.
	👻 10:48pm Austin Rich: If you want a good taste of Clifford Simak's writing, I recommend, "The City," a "fix-up" novel, made up of a number of short-stories from his early career. I can't remember what stories exactly are in it, but it's in the public domain, and easy to find a download of online.
	10:48pm wenzo: I brought some chips
	👻 10:49pm Austin Rich: ↳ wenzo @10:48 Hell yeah.
	👻 10:51pm Austin Rich: Simak seems to have an interest in depicting military-type characters, with that kind of background, by in Sci-Fi settings. I'm sure there's a paper that could be written there.
	👻 10:51pm Austin Rich: This might be one of the more grim X-Minus One Episodes. Certainly several are in the running for that title, but this one has a pretty high body count.
	👻 10:54pm Austin Rich: 1971! This guy was probably at my High School.
	👻 10:54pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:54 Mine too!
	👻 10:55pm Austin Rich: Unfortunately, the show is just about over. Thanks everyone for joining us! This is always my favorite way to spend a Monday Night.
	👻 10:56pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:55 Thanks for a great show and a fun chat, all!
	👻 10:56pm Austin Rich: "The Plague Is Greed And Arrogance."
	10:56pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Austin Rich @10:56 Yep! Cured by Placebos and Courtesy.
	👻 10:57pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:56 A little heavy handed, but... meh, it was 1955.
	10:59pm AI Robot: No courtesy? Savages!
	👻 10:59pm Austin Rich: ↳ AI Robot @10:59 Yep.
	10:59pm Brian: Maybe if he stopped calling that one guy "batears"
	11:00pm wenzo: Adios… gracias
	👻 11:00pm Austin Rich: ↳ Brian @10:59 Maybe?
	11:00pm Webhamster Henry: Thanks for the radio!

Listener comments!
	👻 6:20pm Austin Rich: Good Hello.
	8:13pm Arvo: howdy! just finished being interviewed by watt! now time for dimestore revelations!
	9:00pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Ahoy!
	👻 9:00pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @8:13 I saw that! I was gonna listen tomorrow. Looking forward to it.
	9:00pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Last?! Oh no!
	👻 9:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:00 Imaginos! Thanks for sticking around.
	9:01pm Charles: Candy's last case
	9:01pm Webhamster Henry: WE're getting to the bottom of the Candy Bowl. YU-20289
	👻 9:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ Charles @9:01 Yep. But we'll get one more episode next week...
	9:01pm Charles: I hope she wins.
	👻 9:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:01 It's true. There's always an end to... Handy's Fine Candies.
	👻 9:05pm Austin Rich: As indicated elsewhere, this is a transcription recording of the final episode of the original Candy Matson show, which had run for about 90 some episodes by the 29th of April, 1951. However, a little over a year later, they launched a new pilot... fully pre-recorded, instead of live, and with canned NBC music transitions, and SFX, like with many pre-produced shows. However, the show was not picked up... so all that exists is the pilot, which we will hear next week. Then... we'll take two weeks off for summer, and run some movies on the radio.
	9:06pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Got tunein. Feels weird hearing the show from the tv instead of my tablet.
	👻 9:06pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:06 Occasionally I listen to podcasts and radio on my TV, and it really does feel weird. Like, "We Now Live In The Future!"
	9:07pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:06 20 minutes into the Future
	👻 9:07pm Austin Rich: There was a little skip there. "...even in the dark glasses." I think the full line was, "I recognize that man anywhere..."
	9:08pm Arvo: I played Nosferatu on the radio in its entirety. True story
	👻 9:08pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:08 Very cool. The music is pretty fantastic.
	9:10pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: I have a hunch
	👻 9:10pm Austin Rich: As I have quipped before, "Candy's life will change forever after this episode."
	9:11pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:10 I suspect you're right.
	9:11pm Charles: i take it back then
	9:12pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Charles @9:11 Don't be so quick. I think she will, but not the way she thinks
	👻 9:15pm Austin Rich: "Wear these shades when you're carrying the ice." It's a pretty good gimmick.
	9:15pm Arvo: There is an LP where someone thought it was a good idea to do a "radio play" version of a Bogart film, "They Drive By Night", which was famously sampled by Foetus.
	👻 9:16pm Austin Rich: "Who would think to look in a woman's purse?" One thing I've learned in life: NEVER look through a woman's purse. EVER.
	👻 9:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:15 Oh! Interesting. I should track that down.
	9:16pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:16 Some women even hide dogs in their purses
	9:17pm Charles: oh that commercial made me sad it WILL be hard to say bye to Candy :(
	👻 9:17pm Austin Rich: "Slip slidin' away..."
	9:17pm Arvo: Now I am trying to think of all the movies I played on the radio: BEGOTTEN TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE DEMENTIA/DAUGHTER OF HORROR CARNIVAL OF SOULS JECKYLL & HYDE (SILENT)
	9:18pm Arvo: You can have an episode called "TV ON THE RADIO"
	👻 9:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:17 Nice! Carnival of Souls!
	👻 9:19pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:18 Perfect!
	9:20pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Arvo @9:17 How do you play a silent movie on radio?
	👻 9:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:20 Very carefully?
	9:20pm Charles: woah that Montgomery guy is awesome
	👻 9:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ Charles @9:20 And, again, it illustrates how Candy likes to hang out in bars, as referenced quite often in the show. In 1951, the kinds of seedy bars Candy goes to in this show would not usually have women hanging out in them. But... Candy does what Candy wants.
	9:23pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:22 Candy would be right at home at Caligula's Ouzo Bar.
	9:24pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @9:20 That's wot my grandma used to say!
	👻 9:24pm Austin Rich: I would love to do a story where she had to help Edison solve a crime.
	👻 9:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:24 Grandma's have the best sayings.
	👻 9:26pm Austin Rich: "Lysol Dip." Yikes.
	9:26pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:24 Three way crossover. Candy Matson, Max Headroom, and Doctor Who?
	👻 9:27pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:26 Maybe Candy gets a chance to be a companion?
	9:28pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:27 That's what I was thinking
	👻 9:28pm Austin Rich: For the record: Mallard is sort of a jerk in this exchange.
	9:29pm Charles: FINAL ORGAN STING
	9:29pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Knew it!
	👻 9:29pm Austin Rich: The show ends with a "Bang."
	👻 9:30pm Austin Rich: "Ta da."
	👻 9:31pm WR: ↳ Austin Rich @9:28 Also consider the script is written by the lead actress's husband. And consider that they are playing to how they conceive of their audience.
	9:32pm Webhamster Henry: Candy Mallard?Bleah.
	👻 9:32pm Austin Rich: I really hope Mallard is worth it. I sort of didn't like him.
	👻 9:32pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:32 Seriously.
	9:32pm Charles: I'm digging the clapping.
	9:33pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Austin Rich @9:32 They'll honeymoon in Havana and Shannon will plug him.
	👻 9:33pm Austin Rich: ↳ WR @9:31 Yeah. It really blows me away, every time I listen to that show. My theory: while it says that Monty "wrote" the show, I have to think that Natalie was telling him, "So, this is what I think Candy would do..."
	👻 9:33pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:33 Nice crossover idea!
	👻 9:35pm Austin Rich: "I might fog your glasses." Please?
	9:35pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:33 I agree
	9:36pm Arvo: I still tell certain ladies they are the bee's knees...
	👻 9:36pm David Shortell: The Bold Venture episode “Haven’s Venezuelan Isle” played last night on CHML. Have you gotten that far yet?
	👻 9:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:35 Yeah. She's dreamy...
	👻 9:37pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @9:36 Not yet. I think that's episode 50 something...?
	👻 9:37pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:36 I have both used that line, and had that line used on me. It's peachy, and I would like to encourage it more.
	9:37pm Arvo: I once found a cassette with episodes of The Honeymooners dubbed onto it, in a thrift store. I did air a good chunk of it.
	9:38pm Charles: I'll really miss BoOold Venture when we'll be done with it. I try to fight off sleep as much as I can during Dimestore (because it's late, not because I'm bored) and I usually drift off during that show. There's nothing like falling asleep with Bogart and Bacall. Very comforting.
	9:38pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @9:37 I don't think anybody ever said I'm the bee's knees. :-(
	👻 9:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @9:37 That's a great find! People used to tape the audio from TV shows. (I certainly did, to get theme songs, or samples for mix tapes.) I would love to stumble on tapes like that.
	👻 9:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ Charles @9:38 That does sound great.
	9:40pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: For our reading I am thinking of just reading as far as the kitchen scene at the bar.
	👻 9:41pm Austin Rich: "Direction / confection"? That was not where I thought King Moses would take that song.
	👻 9:42pm Austin Rich: Bogart says of King Moses, "You've got good eyes." Another indication that, while King Moses might not have been present for every moment of the show, he seems to have some sort of omniscient awareness of everything that happens everywhere, and can relate it to you... in song form.
	9:42pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: We can do more. But I'm thinking Heather has been through a lot lately.
	👻 9:43pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo @9:38 It's cause you're the elephant's eyebrows. Hi all!
	👻 9:43pm Austin Rich: Fluttering Bacall? Please?
	9:43pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @9:42 Makes you wonder if King Moses has the eyes of the Loa.
	👻 9:43pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @9:43 Hooray! Nice to see you in the chat tonight!
	👻 9:44pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @9:43 Tuned in and enjoying the show!
	👻 9:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @9:43 I'll have to read up on this. I don't know it!
	👻 9:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @9:44 I hope Brian knows he's on the show tonight?
	👻 9:46pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @9:45 I'll message him
	👻 9:47pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: ""Shannon's A Sucker"" by "Bold Venture" Something tells me that naming this episode "Shannon's A Sucker" sort of spoils that reveal that happens just before the commercial break. I have a feeling they were not so worried about "spoilers" in 1951.
	9:48pm Webhamster Henry: Well we got past the "Slate gets beat up " part of the show.
	👻 9:48pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:48 I can't count the number of times Shannon has been knocked out in this show, but certainly, as this point, he should probably be suffering from some sort of boxer-style brain damage.
	👻 9:49pm Austin Rich: "With your brain in a sling." Ouch.
	👻 9:51pm Austin Rich: A rare guitar passage that is not King Moses' usual song.
	9:53pm Brian: I'm on the show?
	👻 9:53pm Austin Rich: ↳ Brian @9:53 Brian! Yes, in the next 20 minutes, even.
	👻 9:54pm Heather Z: ↳ Brian @9:53 Hey Brian!!
	9:55pm Webhamster Henry: its about 106 miles to Key West from Havana.
	9:55pm Arvo: ↳ Heather Z @9:43 Aw shucks! Thanks, kitty cat!
	👻 9:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:55 I almost looked that up! Thanks.
	9:56pm Arvo: I'm the bee in your bonnet.
	9:57pm Arvo: The jig is up!
	👻 9:57pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo @9:56 I'm the bat in your belfry.
	10:00pm Brian: Radio needs more close magic
	10:00pm Webhamster Henry: Card tricks on the radio... sure. Like ventriloquism.
	10:01pm Arvo: I'm invisible! See?
	10:01pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Brian @10:00 There's always Blackstone
	10:03pm Arvo: Thank you!
	👻 10:03pm Heather Z: I would like a link to this Watt interview for later on! Maybe Weds as tonight is Sounds From Space after this and MVM is tomorrow!
	10:04pm Nick K: Hi
	👻 10:05pm Heather Z: Hungry hungry cement mixers.....
	10:06pm Arvo: ↳ Heather Z @10:03 Gosh! Thanks! It's about three hours and I speak for around 45 mins between music. I understand if that's too long... https://www.twfps.com/past-episodes/on-air-guest-arvo-zylo-from-seattle-wa-via-skype
	10:06pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: That reminds me of the Twilight Zone episode of the Old Man in the cave.
	10:06pm Brian: Worse, they don't eat because they're hungry. They like the taste.
	👻 10:06pm Heather Z: ↳ Arvo @10:06 I'm here all night! Every night pretty much! Thanks so much!
	👻 10:07pm Heather Z: ↳ Brian @10:06 That's too true!
	10:08pm Webhamster Henry: The Harry Limes are kind of international, but super repetitive plots, I think.
	10:08pm Arvo: I'm not making a request, per se, but I remember my favorites being The Shadow, Inner Sanctum, and Dimension X. Also, there was Batman old time radio that I quite enjoyed...
	10:10pm Arvo: I miss my barrelhouse piano record...
	10:10pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Who is shorter? Atom Ant or Inch High Private Eye?
	👻 10:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:08 Oh man, I do love Inner Sanctum. That show is VERY good, and there's not enough horror on this show.
	👻 10:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:10 Only Yoda can say for sure.
	10:12pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: What if Maximum Overdrive took place just before Night of the Comet?
	10:13pm Arvo: Stephen King was at his cocaine peak during that time. He wrote those books with kleenex in both nostrils... and listening to Metallica....
	👻 10:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:12 I really LOVE Night of The Comet. A friend of mine - who has passed away, unfortunately - worked on that movie, and did the music. for it. (Plus, I saw Night of The Comet as a kid, and it terrified me.)
	10:14pm Webhamster Henry: Hey! I was a catsitter for Keith Gordon!
	👻 10:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:13 I love that image!
	10:14pm AI Robot: Hello from super hot Tokyo to my favorite DJ, Austin Rich san!
	👻 10:15pm Austin Rich: ↳ AI Robot @10:14 Ahhh, you are too sweet, AI Robot!
	👻 10:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:14 Woah! Very cool!
	👻 10:17pm Austin Rich: My grandmother operated a punch-card computer for Boeing. She didn't do any programming; she just operated, as she was taught to do. But certainly... that was one of her jobs at Boeing after the war.
	10:17pm Webhamster Henry: Talking computers! www.wfmu.org...
	10:18pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: The women programmed the computers to take over to show overconfident men they weren't the top of the food chain.
	10:19pm Webhamster Henry: I used to do a lot of dialup .. to home computers and to IBM Mainframes.
	10:20pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:19 Go one letter to the left.
	👻 10:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:19 My introduction to the internet was via dial-up in the early 90's. And the only reason I knew about that stuff was because all my nerd friends were on it, telling me I had to get online.
	10:20pm Arvo: I'm still waiting for picture frames that project looping video art and alternate between mirrors or different themes, depending on guests and so forth.
	10:21pm Mike Rogers: ↳ Austin Rich @10:20 Austin san! We're you a Compuserve user?
	10:21pm Brian: In 1984, I saw a demonstration of a bbs that went over the shortwave
	👻 10:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:20 That seems like it should be possible... but I guess I wouldn't know how to do it.
	10:21pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Mike Rogers @10:21 I used to use The Source.
	10:22pm Arvo: ↳ Austin Rich @10:21 It's possible, but I guess you would have to make it look more like real art to have a mass appeal.
	👻 10:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mike Rogers @10:21 We had a local service in Eugene, Oregon, called The Eugene Freenet. (I think they are, technically, still around.) You gave them your phone number, and some other information, and they hooked you up with an account. Then you dialed in... and you could look at text-pages on the internet. (I couldn't load images in those days... what was it... 1400 baud?)
	10:23pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Austin Rich @10:20 My Jr. High's math lab's teletype was hard-wired to Dartmouth Time Sharing System in 1968-9 or so. Yes, I'm the one guy that benefitted from "New Math".
	👻 10:23pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:22 That's what I would like to see... some visual artists make cool, interactive picture frames.
	👻 10:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:23 That's pretty cool! I always read about that era of computing and I really feel like it was something special.
	👻 10:24pm Austin Rich: While I do try to sort of follow the story of Chandu, I have to admit: I mostly listen for the music.
	👻 10:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @10:24 (Is that like reading Playboy for the articles?)
	10:24pm Arvo: They make kindle readers that replicate book pages. I just think they would have the equivalent with framed art by now, so that one could change their mind often, as they do with most everything else. It's an invention that seems inevitable but certainly not one I am willing to patent or pursue.
	10:26pm Arvo: I think Perry Mason was the only one that I listened to as something other than music.
	👻 10:26pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:24 I bet if I posed the question to some tech guys I know, they could make something that could do that. But I'm not sure if there's a bespoke one on the market that is easy to use. Someday...
	10:26pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:24 Its like watching horror movies for the wallpaper.
	👻 10:27pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:26 I do like to watch 70's movies for the way rooms and houses are decorated.
	👻 10:27pm Heather Z: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:26 Or watching The Circle for the set design!
	10:27pm Brian: horror movies have the best wallpaper
	10:27pm Arvo: Horror is almost entirely nostalgia for me.
	👻 10:27pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:27 I know you were impressed, but the design was only so-so for me, in The Circle. While it was good design... it was not for me.
	10:28pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Arvo @10:24 Did you ever see Antitrus?
	👻 10:28pm Austin Rich: The romantic music behind this scene is really a-typical of this show, and yet... is perfect!
	👻 10:28pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:27 Sometimes I need Wayfair chic! Maybe a little Crate and Barrel thrown in? Wee bit o shiplap.
	10:29pm Arvo: I could just watch a guided tour of the Addams Family mansion or any other Victorian nouveau riche vintage celluloid.
	10:29pm Arvo: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:28 I have not!
	10:29pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Arvo @10:29 Gull Cottage.
	👻 10:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:29 My favorite genre of movie is, "People wandering around in an old house / mansion where there are ghosts and old suits of armor." I could watch a movie like that every night.
	10:30pm Arvo: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:29 nice!
	10:30pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Arvo @10:29 There's a framed picture that changes
	10:32pm Arvo: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:30 Any mansion with a painting that has missing eyeholes!
	👻 10:32pm Austin Rich: Brian and Heather: in case I haven't said it enough: thanks for having that conversation about "Nightmare." There will be more installments of that chat, the next one being... next week!
	👻 10:32pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:32 Yes!
	10:33pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Had a chocolate Undae.
	👻 10:33pm Austin Rich: This is one of my all-time favorite "wandering around a castle" style movie: en.wikipedia.org...
	10:33pm Arvo: I used to watch my VHS of Scooby Doo Meets The Boo Brothers, and also Groovie Goolies, basically every day after school....
	👻 10:34pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @10:33 "Horror Island" is only about 60 minutes, has jokes and some good jump scares, and is largely a lot of people confusingly wandering around a castle, on an island. It's GREAT.
	10:34pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:33 That's hot chocolate sauce over frozen whipped cream.
	👻 10:34pm Austin Rich: ↳ Arvo @10:33 I was certainly rushing home for Scooby Doo after school!
	10:34pm AI Robot: X Minus One!!!!
	👻 10:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ AI Robot @10:34 Our favorite show!
	10:35pm AI Robot: Yes!
	10:35pm Arvo: If I remember right, Scooby Doo Meets The Boo Brothers is a feature film entirely set in a haunted castle.
	10:35pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:35 I watched Scooby on weekends and The Monkees after school
	👻 10:36pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:32 Thank you for having me on! It's always fun to talk with you two and I'm a fan of X Minus One from way back when! I'm so up for any more chats you want me for!
	10:36pm Brian: 23
	10:37pm Webhamster Henry: June 3, 1997 - my son was about 1 month old.
	👻 10:38pm Austin Rich: Conveniently, my book store has many back issues of "Astounding Science Fiction" magazine, the magazine that sponsored this show. They are usually about 25 - 50 dollars each, depending on how much Bradbury is in them. The magazine eventually became "Analog," which is still in publication, and you can still submit to, with a fairly good chance they will run yours story, if you keep trying.
	10:39pm Arvo: The serum never works the first time...
	10:41pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: Dozing off.
	👻 10:41pm Austin Rich: "Street & Smith" published "Astounding," and was one of the first pulp publishers at the end of the 1800s. Street & Smith, which had some success with sci-fi, decided to try a magazine entirely dedicated to it, and took submissions from fans and readers, who were often skilled sci-fi authors. Quickly, the magazine began to cultivate a good crew of excellent authors, who all went on to fame afterwards.
	👻 10:42pm Austin Rich: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:41 Sleep well! Thanks for joining us!
	👻 10:42pm Heather Z: ↳ ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova @10:41 Good night! See you here tomorrow maybe!
	10:42pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Austin Rich @10:42 See you tomorrow
	👻 10:42pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:37 I think I was living in Eugene by then, and my first band was winding down. But we had some good times.
	10:42pm ImaginosBuzzardoDesdinova: ↳ Heather Z @10:42 Good night
	👻 10:43pm Austin Rich: The "ethnic slur" they use in this show almost sounds worse, in 2023, than it did when I first heard this story. But most likely, it was just as shocking, even then.
	10:43pm AI Robot: "Dignity of earth men???"
	👻 10:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ AI Robot @10:43 Yeah, that's not the case.
	👻 10:44pm Heather Z: ↳ AI Robot @10:43 I rolled my very human eyes at that, too!
	10:44pm wenzo: Yo
	👻 10:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ wenzo @10:44 Wenzo! Now it's a party.
	👻 10:48pm Austin Rich: If you want a good taste of Clifford Simak's writing, I recommend, "The City," a "fix-up" novel, made up of a number of short-stories from his early career. I can't remember what stories exactly are in it, but it's in the public domain, and easy to find a download of online.
	10:48pm wenzo: I brought some chips
	👻 10:49pm Austin Rich: ↳ wenzo @10:48 Hell yeah.
	👻 10:51pm Austin Rich: Simak seems to have an interest in depicting military-type characters, with that kind of background, by in Sci-Fi settings. I'm sure there's a paper that could be written there.
	👻 10:51pm Austin Rich: This might be one of the more grim X-Minus One Episodes. Certainly several are in the running for that title, but this one has a pretty high body count.
	👻 10:54pm Austin Rich: 1971! This guy was probably at my High School.
	👻 10:54pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:54 Mine too!
	👻 10:55pm Austin Rich: Unfortunately, the show is just about over. Thanks everyone for joining us! This is always my favorite way to spend a Monday Night.
	👻 10:56pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:55 Thanks for a great show and a fun chat, all!
	👻 10:56pm Austin Rich: "The Plague Is Greed And Arrogance."
	10:56pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Austin Rich @10:56 Yep! Cured by Placebos and Courtesy.
	👻 10:57pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:56 A little heavy handed, but... meh, it was 1955.
	10:59pm AI Robot: No courtesy? Savages!
