Listener comments!
	🎸 ♥ 6:23pm Austin Rich: Good Hello.
	9:00pm ChristinaInCanada: Good evening!
	9:00pm Imaginos: Ahoy!
	9:00pm Imaginos: ↳ ChristinaInCanada @9:00 Hope you had a great week
	🎸 ♥ 9:01pm Austin Rich: Christina & Imaginos! Thanks for stoppin' by the Digital Salon. Strap in for an EXPLOSIVE show tonight.
	9:01pm ChristinaInCanada: ↳ Imaginos @9:00 I did,, Imaginos. Did you have a good week too?
	9:02pm Imaginos: ↳ ChristinaInCanada @9:01 Yes. Got some creative stuff done
	9:03pm Imaginos: Looks at the picture "some days you just can't get rid of a bomb"
	🎸 ♥ 9:03pm Austin Rich: I haven't been in a union for a while, but I remember it being a good benefit when I did. I wonder if there's a Radio DJ's union?
	♥ 9:03pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: ""The Tom Waxman Bombing Case"" by "Richard Diamon... Hi Radio pals.. I hope the Union comes out OK.
	9:03pm ChristinaInCanada: ↳ Imaginos @9:02 Well done
	🎸 ♥ 9:04pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:03 Webhamster Henry! Don't forget to look for the Union Label!
	🎸 ♥ 9:04pm Asheville Jon: lurking
	🎸 ♥ 9:05pm Austin Rich: ↳ Asheville Jon @9:04 (Still working on those, "We Love Our Lurkers," t-shirts. I also heart racoons.)
	9:05pm ChristinaInCanada: Momma is poking holes in the condoms.
	🎸 ♥ 9:07pm Austin Rich: ↳ ChristinaInCanada @9:05 While it has really petered out as I approach 50, both of my parents would regularly badger me about having kids every time I see either of them. I'm one of the few kids of theirs who never had any.
	9:07pm ChristinaInCanada: and now there's a hole in the wall
	♥ 9:07pm Webhamster Henry: Kids are goats... we weren't supposed to call children kids' either.
	🎸 ♥ 9:08pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:07 I worked on a goatfarm for a few years, and I usually think of goats when I hear someone talking about kids.
	♥ 9:08pm WR: Hello Austin and folks.
	🎸 ♥ 9:09pm Austin Rich: ↳ WR @9:08 WR! Now it's a party!
	9:10pm wenzo: Greetings fellow classic radio enthusiasts!
	9:11pm Imaginos: ↳ wenzo @9:10 Ahoy
	🎸 ♥ 9:11pm Austin Rich: ↳ wenzo @9:10 And wenzo too? I should be so lucky!
	🎸 ♥ 9:13pm Austin Rich: I do like that "cornball" meant the same thing 76 years ago.
	♥ 9:15pm WR: I'm reading some early William Burroughs and his tone is very informed by detective mode. Should revisit some appropriate literature of the time (besides Chandler).
	9:16pm Imaginos: I hear they have a version of their shampoo for dogs too (chuckles under breath)
	🎸 ♥ 9:19pm Austin Rich: ↳ WR @9:15 I do love a lot of Burroughs books, but I think I have read more detective fiction SINCE I first read Burroughs. I should revisit his stuff. I recall really enjoying the stuff I read. I think I read a bunch of Hunter Thompson, Bukowski, and Burroughs all in a run in my 20s. Probably a bad idea, considering how insufferable I was in my 20s.
	🎸 ♥ 9:19pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:16 If only they could know what future dog products would come to pass.
	9:20pm JM in Texas: ↳ Austin Rich @9:08 Howdy! Austin - did you make any field recordings or capture barnyard sounds when working on the goat farm???
	9:21pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:19 I once saw a label on pet shampoo that said "guaranteed. Not tested on animals"
	🎸 ♥ 9:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ JM in Texas @9:20 I didn't! That was well before I became interested in Field Recordings. I wish I had, though. Those goats would make a pretty good noise from time to time.
	🎸 ♥ 9:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:21 Hmmmmmm. It's like instructions on a toothpick box: It doesn't make sense.
	🎸 ♥ 9:23pm Austin Rich: ↳ JM in Texas @9:20 And: thanks for dropping in! I didn't realize this kind of thing was your bag, too!
	♥ 9:23pm WR: There was that who's on first type round with the Lieutenant. Bye.
	9:24pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:22 Or a sign on a container of peanuts that says "may contain peanuts"
	🎸 ♥ 9:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ WR @9:23 That sort of "back and forth" pops up in a lot of Richard Diamond episodes. It really only stands out when you listen to them all in a run. Spaced out it doesn't seem so repetitive.
	🎸 ♥ 9:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:24 I hope it contains peanuts. It's why I bought the jar.
	🎸 ♥ 9:27pm Austin Rich: "Why can't you get mixed up in a wife-beating or something?" Yikes! Only the darkest of jokes on Richard Diamond, a show hosted by a SINGING detective. Shows from 1949 were... different, for sure.
	♥ 9:27pm WR: ↳ Austin Rich @9:24 Not repetitive. Charming.
	🎸 ♥ 9:28pm Austin Rich: Dammit, it looks like we lost connection for a moment. Sorry about that! We've got some pretty stormy weather in the Mid-Valley tonight, and I was worried about our connectivity.
	♥ 9:29pm Webhamster Henry: Are we getting”my Yiddish Mama” as the song of the show?
	9:29pm ChristinaInCanada: Glad I'm not hallucinating.
	🎸 ♥ 9:29pm Austin Rich: ↳ WR @9:27 I always think so, but I'm often nervous how others will take it. Some gimmicks like that don't always work for everyone.
	🎸 ♥ 9:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ ChristinaInCanada @9:29 I will try to post a complete version of the show to the archive, for completists.
	9:31pm JM in Texas: ↳ Austin Rich @9:23 Can’t say I ever considered it “my bag,” but you use to do something old radio related at the end of WTC? I’m always intrigued and appreciate the amount of work and effort it must take to make it all happen. As for Dime Store Radio Theater, it’s sometimes hit & miss with me. I absolutely LOVED the armed forces show you did to end 2024, also some of the themed shows.
	♥ 9:32pm WR: I'm glad they owned how poor Powell's Yiddish singing it was. More a pastiche than the actual song. But it was cute.
	🎸 ♥ 9:34pm Austin Rich: ↳ WR @9:32 I only know Yiddish from movies and TV, so I never know when it's good or bad. It's nice to know those kinds of jokes are based in contexts that I don't fully get at first.
	🎸 ♥ 9:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ JM in Texas @9:31 Yeah, I've been playing old radio dramas and stuff like that on my show since the early 2000's. But this program on WFMU is the first time that I have tried to play old series in order, and do a little research when I do.
	🎸 ♥ 9:37pm Austin Rich: Matt Gallagher is an old sailing pal of Rocky Jordan, and the music on this show is by Richard Aurandt. Richard Aurandt also did the music on, "The Voyage of The Scarlet Queen," a show about a sailing crew, featuring a First Mate named Red Gallagher. I think Red and Matt are probably related.
	♥ 9:43pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Song: ""The Big Ditch"" by "The Adventures of Rocky Jordan" It’s a bomb!
	🎸 ♥ 9:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:43 Ha! Well, only history can tell if this show is a "bomb" compared to the rest of the series.
	♥ 9:45pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Austin Rich @9:44 No Paul Frees yet….
	🎸 ♥ 9:45pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:45 He might have been busy doing four voices in another show next door to this studio.
	🎸 ♥ 9:49pm Austin Rich: I have heard Bob & Ray do three voices each in a scene, and occasionally would have conversations with themselves. I wonder what was the most voices that Paul Frees performed in a single show?
	9:55pm Imaginos: It would be Rocket luck if the shares were real
	10:03pm David Shortell: ↳ Austin Rich @9:19 I like some Burroughs too: John Carter, Carson Napier, Tarzan of the Apes, The Land That Time Forgot.
	10:03pm Imaginos: Rob McKenna must be visiting
	♥ 10:04pm WR: Your mic break is braking up, yeah.
	10:06pm wenzo: Re. Raccoons… are you familiar with James Blackwood Raccoon Whisperer? Also, how do you feel about Japanese Raccoon Dogs?
	10:09pm wenzo: They look like raccoons lol. There’s a studio ghibli movie about them that’s the only reason I know about them
	♥ 10:09pm WR: ↳ David Shortell @10:03 I should read some E. R. Burroughs. I just read some comics based on Tarzan back in the 50s.
	10:09pm wenzo: Folk lore ascribes them shape shifting abilities
	10:10pm Heather Z: A quick google image search reveals I now desperately want to pet a Japanese Raccoon Dog!
	10:12pm Imaginos: Cousins?
	10:15pm laurapanic: hello friends
	10:15pm Heather Z: Can confirm there's at least one meme about being at a party and hanging with the cat and I send it to my meme friends every time I come across it!
	10:15pm Imaginos: ↳ laurapanic @10:15 Ahoy
	🎸 ♥ 10:17pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:15 Even without Social Media, I still see too many memes.
	10:17pm Imaginos: Getting sleepy. Looking forward to tomorrow
	🎸 ♥ 10:17pm Austin Rich: "Men love their toys." The most insightful thing in any of these documentaries that I've played on Dimestore Revelations.
	🎸 ♥ 10:17pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:17 Yes! Thanks for tuning in. And: sleep well! Dreams and sleep are important...
	10:19pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:17 I will not add you to my meme friends list then.
	10:19pm laurapanic: Ida Lupino...bless
	🎸 ♥ 10:19pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:19 "Oh, Say, Can You Meme?" youtu.be...
	🎸 ♥ 10:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:19 Oh, yeah! Ida is the best. You Must Remember This has some great stuff about her in a few episodes.
	10:21pm David Shortell: ↳ WR @10:09 I was mostly kidding; I only read the first Tarzan novel. However, I loved Russ Manning's run on the comic strip in the 60’s and 70’s. Before that, Russ adapted 10 of the novels for Gold Key Comics. In 1999, Dark Horse began to reprint them but stopped after the first 7. I loved how Lord Greystoke looted gold from the lost city of Opar when Queen La wasn’t looking. That set him up for life!
	🎸 ♥ 10:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:21 I would love to get those Gold Key comics. Dark Horse seems to abandon as many projects as they start.
	10:24pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:19 I just emailed this to myself to watch later! I don't want to play it over The Blue Beetle!
	🎸 ♥ 10:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:24 October, 2019 seems like a whole other universe from now.
	🎸 ♥ 10:26pm Austin Rich: Looks like we'll go over tonight by five minutes. Sorry about that!
	10:27pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:25 Doesn't it? Probably because it was in so many ways....
	🎸 ♥ 10:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:21 I recall, in an interview I was listening to with Len Wein, that he talked about working at Gold Key after DC and Marvel had both screwed him. If any of his other friends complained about the big two, he tried to get them work at Gold Key. I have no idea if that positive relationship lasted, but the way he tells it, he helped bolster their writers and artists with dissatisfied DC and Marvel folk.
	10:34pm David Shortell: ↳ Austin Rich @10:30 Len was one of the creators who left Marvel when Jim Shooter became Editor-in-Chief, then came back after Shooter was gone.
	🎸 ♥ 10:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:34 Ah! I have only heard negative things about Jim Shooter. I have never really looked into him, because I was never really a Marvel person, save for selective books. (Son of Satan, Defenders, John Carter, stuff like that.)
	10:36pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: ""Protective Mimicry"" by "X-Minus One" archive.org...
	🎸 ♥ 10:39pm Austin Rich: The host talks about getting letters from listeners. "Dimension X," the show that preceeded "X-Minus One," was saved thanks to a letter-writing campaign, even though it didn't last for very long after it was saved. (Maybe a few more months.) "X-Minus One" ran, initially, as a "test" show, but after so many fans wrote in about the test shows, "X-Minus One" continued.
	♥ 10:40pm WR: ↳ David Shortell @10:36 thank you.
	🎸 ♥ 10:42pm Austin Rich: Sci-Fi had been on the radio since nearly the beginning of broadcasting, but it was often considered "kiddie" radio. Letters from fans of the shows that were for adults proved that Sci-Fi on the Radio had a broader audience than some producers believed. Letter-writing campaigns were one of the few tools Sci-Fi fans could use to flex their strength in the 50's, and it was a tool that they would use to save Star Trek, and other shows in the years to come.
	10:46pm wenzo: “Take off your pants and pull up a chair”… that’s not a phrase you hear often.
	🎸 ♥ 10:47pm Austin Rich: I'm sure there's parties that you could get invited to where you would hear that phrase more often. If you're into those sorts of parties.
	🎸 ♥ 10:48pm Austin Rich: "The old fashioned Presley style."
	🎸 ♥ 10:52pm Austin Rich: "Spillane, the Scrivener."
	10:57pm David Shortell: ↳ Austin Rich @10:52 I don't know what a scrivener is, except to say that it was Bartleby's job in the Herman Melville story.
	🎸 ♥ 10:58pm Austin Rich: Whoops. Another disconnection. Sorry everyone! The storm here is bad.
	10:59pm Heather Z: During the slight disconnect, there was a brief burst of roll n rock! Fit right in, in a way!
	🎸 ♥ 10:59pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:57 If I recall correctly, Bartleby's job was to copy documents, file them, draw up contracts, etc. In an era before copiers and carbon paper, you had to hire people who could write quickly, nicely, and accurately. Sort of like Business Monks.
	🎸 ♥ 11:00pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:57 I think, more broadly, the word, "scrivener," can be used in place of, "writer."
	11:02pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @11:00 I always took it to be "scribe." I had a ferret named Bartleby years ago. He was a sweet boy. Named after the story, of course, which I haven't read in decades.
	🎸 ♥ 11:02pm Austin Rich: Thanks for tuning in everyone! Hopefully we'll have better weather connections next week!
	11:02pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @10:59 so.....where could I find me one of these.....business monks?
	🎸 ♥ 11:03pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @11:02 I guess you place an ad?
	11:03pm Heather Z: Thanks for a fun show, Austin, and I hope everyone has a great day or night wherever you are!
	11:03pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: ""Protective Mimicry"" by "X-Minus One" Deneb is in the constellation Cygnus. You may be able to see it after midnight (EST) when it rises in the northeast.
	11:04pm ChristinaInCanada: thanks, Austin. Take care, everyone.
	♥ 11:06pm WR: Thank you! Austin! Laters, folks.

	🎸 ♥ 10:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:19 Oh, yeah! Ida is the best. You Must Remember This has some great stuff about her in a few episodes.
	10:21pm David Shortell: ↳ WR @10:09 I was mostly kidding; I only read the first Tarzan novel. However, I loved Russ Manning's run on the comic strip in the 60’s and 70’s. Before that, Russ adapted 10 of the novels for Gold Key Comics. In 1999, Dark Horse began to reprint them but stopped after the first 7. I loved how Lord Greystoke looted gold from the lost city of Opar when Queen La wasn’t looking. That set him up for life!
	🎸 ♥ 10:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:21 I would love to get those Gold Key comics. Dark Horse seems to abandon as many projects as they start.
	10:24pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:19 I just emailed this to myself to watch later! I don't want to play it over The Blue Beetle!
	🎸 ♥ 10:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ Heather Z @10:24 October, 2019 seems like a whole other universe from now.
	🎸 ♥ 10:26pm Austin Rich: Looks like we'll go over tonight by five minutes. Sorry about that!
	10:27pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @10:25 Doesn't it? Probably because it was in so many ways....
	🎸 ♥ 10:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:21 I recall, in an interview I was listening to with Len Wein, that he talked about working at Gold Key after DC and Marvel had both screwed him. If any of his other friends complained about the big two, he tried to get them work at Gold Key. I have no idea if that positive relationship lasted, but the way he tells it, he helped bolster their writers and artists with dissatisfied DC and Marvel folk.
	10:34pm David Shortell: ↳ Austin Rich @10:30 Len was one of the creators who left Marvel when Jim Shooter became Editor-in-Chief, then came back after Shooter was gone.
	🎸 ♥ 10:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:34 Ah! I have only heard negative things about Jim Shooter. I have never really looked into him, because I was never really a Marvel person, save for selective books. (Son of Satan, Defenders, John Carter, stuff like that.)
	10:36pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: ""Protective Mimicry"" by "X-Minus One" archive.org...
	🎸 ♥ 10:39pm Austin Rich: The host talks about getting letters from listeners. "Dimension X," the show that preceeded "X-Minus One," was saved thanks to a letter-writing campaign, even though it didn't last for very long after it was saved. (Maybe a few more months.) "X-Minus One" ran, initially, as a "test" show, but after so many fans wrote in about the test shows, "X-Minus One" continued.
	♥ 10:40pm WR: ↳ David Shortell @10:36 thank you.
	🎸 ♥ 10:42pm Austin Rich: Sci-Fi had been on the radio since nearly the beginning of broadcasting, but it was often considered "kiddie" radio. Letters from fans of the shows that were for adults proved that Sci-Fi on the Radio had a broader audience than some producers believed. Letter-writing campaigns were one of the few tools Sci-Fi fans could use to flex their strength in the 50's, and it was a tool that they would use to save Star Trek, and other shows in the years to come.
	10:46pm wenzo: “Take off your pants and pull up a chair”… that’s not a phrase you hear often.
	🎸 ♥ 10:47pm Austin Rich: I'm sure there's parties that you could get invited to where you would hear that phrase more often. If you're into those sorts of parties.
	🎸 ♥ 10:48pm Austin Rich: "The old fashioned Presley style."
	🎸 ♥ 10:52pm Austin Rich: "Spillane, the Scrivener."
	10:57pm David Shortell: ↳ Austin Rich @10:52 I don't know what a scrivener is, except to say that it was Bartleby's job in the Herman Melville story.
	🎸 ♥ 10:58pm Austin Rich: Whoops. Another disconnection. Sorry everyone! The storm here is bad.
	10:59pm Heather Z: During the slight disconnect, there was a brief burst of roll n rock! Fit right in, in a way!
	🎸 ♥ 10:59pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:57 If I recall correctly, Bartleby's job was to copy documents, file them, draw up contracts, etc. In an era before copiers and carbon paper, you had to hire people who could write quickly, nicely, and accurately. Sort of like Business Monks.
	🎸 ♥ 11:00pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:57 I think, more broadly, the word, "scrivener," can be used in place of, "writer."
	11:02pm Heather Z: ↳ Austin Rich @11:00 I always took it to be "scribe." I had a ferret named Bartleby years ago. He was a sweet boy. Named after the story, of course, which I haven't read in decades.
	🎸 ♥ 11:02pm Austin Rich: Thanks for tuning in everyone! Hopefully we'll have better weather connections next week!
	11:02pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @10:59 so.....where could I find me one of these.....business monks?
	🎸 ♥ 11:03pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @11:02 I guess you place an ad?
	11:03pm Heather Z: Thanks for a fun show, Austin, and I hope everyone has a great day or night wherever you are!
	11:03pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: ""Protective Mimicry"" by "X-Minus One" Deneb is in the constellation Cygnus. You may be able to see it after midnight (EST) when it rises in the northeast.
	11:04pm ChristinaInCanada: thanks, Austin. Take care, everyone.
	♥ 11:06pm WR: Thank you! Austin! Laters, folks.
