Listener comments!
	🎸 ♥ 7:45pm Austin Rich: Good Hello.
	🎸 ♥ 7:47pm Krys O.: Howdy!
	7:50pm Imaginos: Ahoy!
	♥ 7:52pm postconsumer: Hi, hi.
	7:53pm Imaginos: Interesting stream music
	♥ 7:53pm postconsumer: Gonna get super navel-gazey around here, in 6 minutes. Radio Perzine-Style.
	🎸 ♥ 7:59pm Austin Rich: I guess we can all look at your navel. I hope you don't mind if we enjoy it?
	8:00pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @7:59 Innes or Audi?
	♥ 8:01pm postconsumer: bit of both!
	♥ 8:02pm postconsumer: just eyeballing the wave file, Krys, you'll have to boost the volume a lot at 21:30. I'll remind you... sorry..
	8:03pm Imaginos: I create my own music videos.
	♥ 8:03pm postconsumer: ↳ Imaginos @8:03 that's perfect!
	♥ 8:04pm WR: Hello postconsumer and folks.
	♥ 8:05pm postconsumer: thanks for tuning in, every one!
	🎸 ♥ 8:06pm Krys O.: Niecy!!
	♥ 8:06pm postconsumer: 1984
	🎸 ♥ 8:07pm Austin Rich: These days, it's all about reading comics, making radio, and watching old Sherlock Holmes movies. I'm a sucker for those Basil Rathbone films. Everything else makes me sad, unfortunately...
	🎸 ♥ 8:08pm Krys O.: I was working in a record store in 1984. Well, I started working in a record store on July 5th, 1984. Prior to that I was working as a bank teller.
	♥ 8:08pm postconsumer: A record store in 1984. Yes, please.
	🎸 ♥ 8:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @8:08 Outside of yardwork and doing stuff for neighbors, my first job was working in my mom's books / records / comic book store. But that was in the late 80's.
	🎸 ♥ 8:12pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @8:07 In the early 70s, my Saturday TV watching was Laurel & Hardy, Shirley Temple movies, Basil and Nigel in Sherlock Holmes, then Star Trek reruns. This was on NYC TV channels. Now I watch TCM. I caught The 29th Parallel recently and was blown away by it. I had caught the ending of the film a couple of years ago.
	🎸 ♥ 8:13pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @8:10 That sounds awesome.
	🎸 ♥ 8:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @8:12 You keep talkin' about TCM! I need to get on the ball.
	🎸 ♥ 8:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @8:13 My mom was cooler than I was in a lot of ways.
	🎸 ♥ 8:18pm Austin Rich: I think most biographies are tempered with a lot of wish-fulfillment and perhaps a small percentage of genuine truth. Even good biographies about interesting people who don't tend to fabulate, are constructed in ways that don't exactly resemble the way real life plays out. Writing is an art, even from the start.
	♥ 8:18pm postconsumer: yeah. sorry I'm populatin the playlists and would rather be commenting...
	🎸 ♥ 8:20pm Austin Rich: I loved the Jungle Book as a kid. That movie rules.
	8:22pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @8:20 Loved the scat bit in I Wanna Be Like You
	♥ 8:22pm postconsumer: This is the quiet part. sorry krys
	🎸 ♥ 8:23pm Austin Rich: As a kid, I loved Return of The Jedi. It was the only of the three movies I saw in the Theater, and we didn't see a lot of movies in the theater then. My cousins showed us "Empire Strikes Back" at their house the day before we saw "Jedi" in the theater. There was something about that weekend that is still pretty memorable, all these years later.
	🎸 ♥ 8:23pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @8:22 Yeah, that song is still a banger.
	8:24pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @8:23 Its timeless
	♥ 8:25pm postconsumer: I got to see Empire, when it came out. In the theater. I think Star Wars re-ran, before it. All I really remember is playing with C-3po and r2-ds on the sticky floor of the theater, popping my head up over the backs of the seats, whenever dad would poke me. Usuyally because of c3-po being on-screen...
	♥ 8:25pm postconsumer: ↳ Imaginos @8:22 me, too. love that movie
	♥ 8:26pm WR: Jon, I remember an episode about your youth, in Dallas and then after you moved. Only remember contours, not much detail. But enjoyed very much.
	♥ 8:30pm postconsumer: ↳ WR @8:26 thanks so much for saying. I'm getting more confident about this one. this series. the main hangup being ...the fact that I was raised to never brag, never boast. Humility was the goal. Talking about yourself was seen as selfish and wrong. And then I grew up to be largely autobiographical, in my writing. Which I love. fun conflict! ha ha
	♥ 8:31pm postconsumer: ↳ Austin Rich @8:23 and that's why Star Wars is worth so much to Disney. It was all very memorable, to prety much all of us. :)
	🎸 ♥ 8:33pm Austin Rich: ↳ postconsumer @8:31 Certainly. I'm much less interested now, except in that I remember having a good time loving Star Wars then. But I'm a fan of different things now. I wish is no ill, but there's MST3K episodes I still haven't seen.
	🎸 ♥ 8:35pm Krys O.: Organized religion is basically about the powerful controlling other people.
	♥ 8:35pm postconsumer: ↳ Austin Rich @8:18 i love this. thanks, Austin. I'm trying to be honest, to a fault. Which just means, if I think i was lying in my joural, I will "out" myself, for lying. If a memory is half-remembered, I'll be honest about that, too. to me, this project is fun because its fact. FACT is becoming very valuable in our current time period. I think we all know why. The truth matters....
	🎸 ♥ 8:36pm Austin Rich: As a kid, my mom got a job at a Bowling Alley, and next door was a Skating Rink. (This was in Oakridge, Oregon.) There was some sort of deal that the two businesses had worked out, where the staff at each could take advantage of the other place. I recall a number of times my mom would drop me off at the skating rink because she had to work. I really loved it! There were video games, and candy. Girls! People wearing cool clothes. It seemed like a whole other universe from the rest of my life.
	♥ 8:37pm postconsumer: ↳ Krys O. @8:35 It's insidious. Because it's much more than that, to many, many people. But it absolutely is that, also. And the two things are hopelessly intertwined, at this point.
	🎸 ♥ 8:41pm Austin Rich: My dad worked for the railroad! Southern Pacific! He go injured on the job, and they took care of him, and gave him a job working in the offices afterwards. Eventually he became a Union Rep for the same gang that he worked at. I'm a big fan of trains. I understand wanting to impress your father. I never managed to, but I certainly tried for a while.
	8:46pm Imaginos: My two favorite travel based games as a child were Mille Bornes and Journey to San Francisco With the Glupps
	♥ 8:49pm postconsumer: His company was Norfolk and Western. And yes, they took great care of him. I can't imagine any modern american company looking out for its employees the way they took care of him. Practically like family. Compare that to my dad, who had a good, professional job, and had to go BACK to work, after retiring, in order to be able to afford his chemotherapy. I'm still very angry about that.
	🎸 ♥ 8:51pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @8:41 Being the youngest of five kids, my parents were exhausted by my coming of age. My older sisters used to tell me that I was lucky because our parents were more strict with them. I kind of felt forgotten in some ways, being called by other sisters' names and such. Something happened though when I was the only one left with my parents as the others were grown and had moved out. We enjoyed each other's company. Sure there were conflicts, but there were negotiations instead of ultimatums. I would come home from school and make dinner, clean, etc. I got more respect from my parents for being mature.
	8:52pm Imaginos: ↳ Krys O. @8:51 We have something in common. I was also the youngest of five
	🎸 ♥ 8:53pm Austin Rich: It's always so interesting to hear about other people's family life. I think we all assume some things are normal, to find... nothing is normal.
	♥ 8:53pm postconsumer: ↳ Austin Rich @8:53 this is the takeaway. yes. :)
	🎸 ♥ 8:53pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Personal Jesus" by "Depeche Mode" One of my earliest live shows - I think it was my third concert? - was Depeche Mode, Songs of Faith and Devotion. It was a GREAT show.
	♥ 8:54pm postconsumer: I went to my first concert around the time of this album. It was The Cure though.
	🎸 ♥ 8:54pm Krys O.: I never really saw marriage as a goal. I didn't dream about a wedding of my own.
	♥ 8:56pm postconsumer: okay. well, I recorded the breaks last night before bed and produced the show in about 3 hours, today. I thought some of the transitions were a bit rough, so I'll probably re-edit a bit, but overall, it think its' fine. calling it done. thanks for listening!
	♥ 8:56pm postconsumer: ↳ Krys O. @8:54 this is probably something for my therapist, but yeah... I was marriage minded, from a very early age. Just lonely, maybe? IDK
	🎸 ♥ 8:56pm Austin Rich: It was great! I do love these personal shows. It's inspiring.
	♥ 8:57pm postconsumer: ↳ Austin Rich @8:56 thanks, Austin! I appreciate you saying that. Maybe I will keep doing it.
	🎸 ♥ 8:57pm Krys O.: ↳ Krys O. @8:54 I guess it was the same about having children. I wasn't really planning on it. I like children, but procreation is not my bag. I played out Roman mythology with my Barbie dolls.
	♥ 8:58pm postconsumer: ↳ Krys O. @8:57 that's awesome. I never gave a thought to kids, at all, until marrying someone who wouldn't stop talking about it. I'm glad we did.
	🎸 ♥ 8:58pm Krys O.: ↳ postconsumer @8:56 The shows sounded really good. Thanks for sharing this, Jon!
	♥ 8:58pm postconsumer: thanks, Krys!
	♥ 8:59pm postconsumer: it's a minute short, Austin, sorry...
	♥ 8:59pm postconsumer: will the playlist kick in for sixty seconds, or?
	♥ 8:59pm postconsumer: yey!
	♥ 9:00pm postconsumer: I'm assuming I'm hearing Austin...
	🎸 ♥ 9:00pm Krys O.: ↳ postconsumer @9:00 Yes, he's always at the ready.
	♥ 9:00pm WR: Thank you!
	♥ 9:00pm postconsumer: thanks again, everybody. See you over in the Mid Valley Mutations Department. :)
