	11:08am Roger: Wow, this is a fun show!!!!
	👻 11:08am Austin Rich: In the 70's, presidents were so much more "hands-on" when it came to new tech.
	👻 11:09am Austin Rich: ↳ Roger @11:08 Roger! Are you free to play four-square later? Gotta finish listening to my stories, but it's a nice day out...
	11:09am Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @11:06 Why, yes I have! Funnily enough, my friend John Schnall aired his Cereal Mom special on the Inflatable Square Carcass last night (midnight to 3 am). I participated in the theme song. BTW-The video for the theme song, Blame It on the Added Sugar has been on the WFMU slider for weeks. www.wfmu.org...
	👻 11:10am Austin Rich: "In every dimension of time!" No pressure.
	👻 11:10am Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @11:09 Very cool! I need to check that out.
	11:11am Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @11:10 It's based on Blame It on the Bossa Nova: www.youtube.com...
	👻 11:11am Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "The Amazing Adventures Of Holo-Man - Birth Of A H... I really love the crazy SFX on this record. I would love to fine the original sound source, so I could use them for my own purposes.
	11:11am Krys O.: I love the sound effects on Holo-Man!
	11:12am Roger: I am! Meet you at the park.
	👻 11:12am Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @11:11 Someone at Peter Pan records was really good with the background sounds.
	11:12am Jan Turkenburg: Hi everybody!
	👻 11:13am Austin Rich: ↳ Jan Turkenburg @11:12 Jan! I think we have a few open bean-bag chairs. Sit and stay a spell.
	11:13am Jan Turkenburg: ↳ Austin Rich @11:13 👍
	11:14am Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @11:12 My ex used those sounds on a track in the 90s. Not sure what the source was.
	👻 11:14am Austin Rich: I want Molecular Teleportation! That sounds useful.
	👻 11:15am Austin Rich: ↳ Roger @11:12 Heck yeah!
	👻 11:15am Austin Rich: Fake Nukes! Fake Nukes!
	👻 11:18am Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Theme Song (Fan Edit)" by "Jem & The Holograms" Apparently, this is a fan-creation, using the voices from one version, and the music from an international, instrumental version. Very cool!
	11:18am Roger: Jem!
	👻 11:19am Austin Rich: ↳ Roger @11:18 I heard she's truly outrageous, but don't quote me on that.
	11:23am Roger: Aw shucks! u2kind
	11:23am Barno in Akron: How do you do, fellow lurkers?
	👻 11:24am Austin Rich: ↳ Barno in Akron @11:23 Barno! "Lurk, and the world lurks with you."
	👻 11:25am Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Mission of the Darians" by "Power Records" I am one of those kids that actually knows this record better than any actual broadcast of "Space: 1999."
	👻 11:26am Austin Rich: If anyone wants to imagine the conclusion to the "Holo-Man" story, I'll be curious what you come up with.
	11:28am Krys O.: My brother and I watched Space: 1999 and U.F.O. as kids. We were sci-fi/special effects geeks.
	11:29am Barno in Akron: I hate when the joint I'm holding with my index finger goes missing
	👻 11:30am Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @11:28 I'm sure I would have loved both, but all I had was this record. I bet I would love it, now.
	👻 11:31am Austin Rich: ↳ Barno in Akron @11:29 I'm sure it's around there somewhere...
	11:32am Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @11:30 Have you ever seen the movie Journey to the Far Side of the Sun? It's a Gerry & Sylvia Anderson live action movie.
	👻 11:33am Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @11:32 No, I haven't! I'll have to look for that. I do love 60's and 70's sci-fi.
	👻 11:33am Austin Rich: I love the sound of the computer room!
	11:33am Krys O.: ↳ Song: "Mission of the Darians" by "Power Records" More wonderful sound effects....
	👻 11:34am Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @11:33 Apparently, you and I need to be sound designers on 1970's audio dramas.
	👻 11:35am Mr Fab: Tell as a story, Unca Austin!
	11:35am Roger: Austin, lovin' the show but gotta go prep for a live set at the station. I'll pick it up in the archives!
	👻 11:35am Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @11:35 Mr. Fab! Nice PJs! What kind of cereal are you having?
	👻 11:35am Austin Rich: ↳ Roger @11:35 Thanks Roger! Hopefully we'll be back to back more often!
	👻 11:39am Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "I'm Off To Cape Kennedy / A Tune About The Moon" ... This is one of my favorite kids records, and the cover is as good as the songs!
	👻 11:39am Austin Rich: Elepha-naut!
	👻 11:43am Austin Rich: Almost unscathed.
	👻 11:45am Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "The Crier In Emptiness" by "Peter Pan Records" This record was a gift from my wife recently, and it is corny and wonderful.
	👻 11:46am Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "The Crier In Emptiness" by "Peter Pan Records" As I understand it, this was produced around the time of the Star Trek Animated Series, and follows some of the stories / characters that were introduced on that show.
	👻 11:47am Austin Rich: I'm having oatmeal, with homemade strawberry jam, and blueberries we dehydrated not long ago. Tastes even better with Sci-Fi!
	👻 11:48am Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @11:35 Sugar-Coasted Sugar Glitchies! Don't tell mom!
	👻 11:49am Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @11:48 That's the one with Max Headroom on the box! Right on.
	👻 11:51am Mr Fab: a creature of pure music is a pretty cool idea.
	👻 11:51am Austin Rich: It's a Star Trek noise-off.
	👻 11:52am Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @11:51 If I recall correctly, there was a Green Lantern story about a race of aliens that were raised in darkness, and they only communicated through music and language. It's been a long time since I've read that one... can't remember exactly...
	👻 11:54am Austin Rich: Connors can PLAY, but apparently he's not ready for a long concert.
	👻 11:55am Mr Fab: Who's "Conners"? Mr. Scott?
	👻 11:56am Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @11:55 I think he's from the Animated series, which this is connected to... I think?
	👻 12:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Time Tells You" by "Laura Olsher And Tutti Camarata" I see Camarata's name on a lot of 60's Disney records. I keep meaning to read up; I be that person has some stories.
	👻 12:02pm Austin Rich: Kids song encouraging kids to get married and have kids...
	👻 12:03pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "The Clock Song" by "Steve Clayton & Gail Contini" This is one of my favorite "specific" kids records: all songs about telling time, and about the different months of the year.
	👻 12:05pm Austin Rich: A Disney Sandwich is when you play two Disney released songs, with an indie-label in-between.
	👻 12:06pm Austin Rich: "Oh no, no, I never go to work..." I just make radio and music. And sling books, I guess...
	👻 12:06pm Austin Rich: "Work is the last thing on my mind..."
	👻 12:07pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Fun In Fall" by "Kay Lande & Wade Denning" I usually start pulling this record out around this time of year...
	12:09pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @12:07 I can get behind that song.
	👻 12:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @12:09 It's so sweet. While the summer is nice, I'm ready for sweaters and cooler temps.
	👻 12:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "https://drive.google.com/file/d/1K5NIcGr3xoFWM4Op... You can read along in this low quality version of the comic that came with this record... but you don't really need it.
	12:14pm egould: Superman wears his underpants on the outside of his suit.
	👻 12:15pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Alien Creatures" by "Superman" While this marketing gimmick never really took off, a number of "comic book and record sets" came with an original story that you couldn't get in the comics. (usually.) The idea was to try and get kids to graduate to comics (or to get comics readers to start buying story records.) Not many of the comic / record sets were made, as the ones for even younger audiences sold better. So there are some - like Holo-Man - where they intended to make several, and never did.
	👻 12:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ egould @12:14 I think a lot of superheroes like wearing the costumes, as it allows them to express something about their personalities they can't express in their regular lives. Not to quote from a paper I might have written in college...
	👻 12:19pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @12:16 The costumes differentiate the superheroes from the regular heroes.
	👻 12:19pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @12:19 The fetish component is just a practical upshot.
	👻 12:21pm Austin Rich: This story really leans on Superman's "mind" being a superpower for him.
	👻 12:21pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @12:19 Ha! So who’s a superhero in fishnet stockings and high heels?
	👻 12:22pm Austin Rich: That cowardly Clark Kent...
	👻 12:27pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @12:21 Black Canary, I think...
	👻 12:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @12:21 romitaman.b-cdn.net...
	12:28pm egould: Faye Dunaway as the voice of Diana Prince / Wonder Woman.
	👻 12:31pm Austin Rich: ↳ egould @12:28 Ha!
	👻 12:31pm Austin Rich: I do love the weird SFX on this story. The writer realized that for a story on a record, it made sense to lean in.
	👻 12:32pm Austin Rich: "Despotic Male."
	12:33pm egould: That turned dark.
	👻 12:33pm Austin Rich: ↳ egould @12:33 Yeah. This story gets wild.
	12:34pm WR: Sound as subtext to many of the features. Nice touch. The Woodstock cameo nearly made me choke on my oatmeal.
	👻 12:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ WR @12:34 Yeah. It sort of comes out of NOWHERE. That whole section is pretty bonkers.
	👻 12:39pm Austin Rich: There was a bit of a struggle to pick WHICH Hawaiian shirt I should wear for the photo above. I have to thank Marla, my partner, who suggested that one. She is, as usual, the secret sauce in everything I do.
	👻 12:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "https://drive.google.com/file/d/1K5NIcGr3xoFWM4Op... You can read along here, but you don't really need to enjoy the story. The images are low-quality, unfortunately.
	👻 12:41pm Austin Rich: The other story on this record implies that either Sherlock Holmes - or a very clever descendant - assists Batman to solve the case. I love how casually this story introduces kids to the idea of Transcendental Meditation.
	12:41pm WR: ↳ Song: "Gorilla City" by "Batman" TM shout out in the mid 70s.
	👻 12:42pm Austin Rich: ↳ WR @12:41 I wanna know how many kids asked their parents to get them books on TM, so they could be like Batman.
	12:43pm MHLee: Hello
	👻 12:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ MHLee @12:43 MHLee! Hooray!
	12:44pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @12:42 Ha!
	👻 12:45pm Austin Rich: I weigh more than Batman. More than I should, anyway.
	👻 12:47pm Austin Rich: I don't like the phrase "darkest Africa," but that phrase is almost always used when a comic book refers to anything in Africa.
	👻 12:47pm Austin Rich: I will totally end on time! Hooray! It's a Summer Camp Miracle!
	12:49pm Krys O.: Uncle Austin, your show has been incredible! Thank you!
	12:50pm David The Splatter: I had to go take care of a few things after DDR, but I've been listening the last hour or so. Great show, Austin!
	👻 12:51pm Austin Rich: Gorilla Grodd was one of those villains that went up against almost every DC hero at one point or another. I think these days the character is associated with The Flash, but he's appeared in almost every major comic.
	12:51pm MHLee: You forget I'm a super gorilla
	👻 12:51pm Austin Rich: David The Splatter! Thanks for joining. I appreciate all the kind words. I LOVED making this show. You can count on more Uncle Austin as the months go on.
	👻 12:52pm Austin Rich: Yoga Too! The kids must have been wild for Eastern Thought in the 70's.
	👻 12:53pm Austin Rich: The gorillas made Batman a jet! That's the kind of summary I love hearing.
	12:53pm Barno in Akron: Fun show funcle Austin!
	12:55pm Barno in Akron: We have an autographed photo of Mr Rogers framed in our livingroom. He's the best!
	👻 12:55pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Some Things I Don't Understand" by "Fred Rogers" I think about this song all the time.
	12:55pm WR: ↳ Barno in Akron @12:55 wow. A family treasure!
	👻 12:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ Barno in Akron @12:55 Yeah, that's seriously cool!
	12:56pm David The Splatter: ↳ Song: "Some Things I Don't Understand" by "Fred Rogers" I feel like we need more of this these days.
	👻 12:56pm Austin Rich: I think Mr. Roger's is scared of dogs.
	👻 12:56pm Austin Rich: Why do big people say no?
	👻 12:58pm Austin Rich: Why do I wonder a lot? Someday I'll know what to say.
	👻 12:58pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @12:47 I would love to hear a show where they say “from lightest Africa.“ Super fun-ness today, thanks Unc!
	👻 12:58pm Austin Rich: Thank you everyone! See you next time!
	12:58pm Barno in Akron: Three people who inspire me the most, Fred Rogers, Henry Rollins, and my friend Philipos Melaku-Bello - georgetownvoice.com...
	1:06pm WR: ↳ Barno in Akron @12:58 Thanks for the link, Barno Thanks for the great show, Austin!

	👻 11:51am Mr Fab: a creature of pure music is a pretty cool idea.
	👻 11:51am Austin Rich: It's a Star Trek noise-off.
	👻 11:52am Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @11:51 If I recall correctly, there was a Green Lantern story about a race of aliens that were raised in darkness, and they only communicated through music and language. It's been a long time since I've read that one... can't remember exactly...
	👻 11:54am Austin Rich: Connors can PLAY, but apparently he's not ready for a long concert.
	👻 11:55am Mr Fab: Who's "Conners"? Mr. Scott?
	👻 11:56am Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @11:55 I think he's from the Animated series, which this is connected to... I think?
	👻 12:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Time Tells You" by "Laura Olsher And Tutti Camarata" I see Camarata's name on a lot of 60's Disney records. I keep meaning to read up; I be that person has some stories.
	👻 12:02pm Austin Rich: Kids song encouraging kids to get married and have kids...
	👻 12:03pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "The Clock Song" by "Steve Clayton & Gail Contini" This is one of my favorite "specific" kids records: all songs about telling time, and about the different months of the year.
	👻 12:05pm Austin Rich: A Disney Sandwich is when you play two Disney released songs, with an indie-label in-between.
	👻 12:06pm Austin Rich: "Oh no, no, I never go to work..." I just make radio and music. And sling books, I guess...
	👻 12:06pm Austin Rich: "Work is the last thing on my mind..."
	👻 12:07pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Fun In Fall" by "Kay Lande & Wade Denning" I usually start pulling this record out around this time of year...
	12:09pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @12:07 I can get behind that song.
	👻 12:10pm Austin Rich: ↳ Krys O. @12:09 It's so sweet. While the summer is nice, I'm ready for sweaters and cooler temps.
	👻 12:12pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "https://drive.google.com/file/d/1K5NIcGr3xoFWM4Op... You can read along in this low quality version of the comic that came with this record... but you don't really need it.
	12:14pm egould: Superman wears his underpants on the outside of his suit.
	👻 12:15pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Alien Creatures" by "Superman" While this marketing gimmick never really took off, a number of "comic book and record sets" came with an original story that you couldn't get in the comics. (usually.) The idea was to try and get kids to graduate to comics (or to get comics readers to start buying story records.) Not many of the comic / record sets were made, as the ones for even younger audiences sold better. So there are some - like Holo-Man - where they intended to make several, and never did.
	👻 12:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ egould @12:14 I think a lot of superheroes like wearing the costumes, as it allows them to express something about their personalities they can't express in their regular lives. Not to quote from a paper I might have written in college...
	👻 12:19pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @12:16 The costumes differentiate the superheroes from the regular heroes.
	👻 12:19pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @12:19 The fetish component is just a practical upshot.
	👻 12:21pm Austin Rich: This story really leans on Superman's "mind" being a superpower for him.
	👻 12:21pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @12:19 Ha! So who’s a superhero in fishnet stockings and high heels?
	👻 12:22pm Austin Rich: That cowardly Clark Kent...
	👻 12:27pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @12:21 Black Canary, I think...
	👻 12:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ Mr Fab @12:21 romitaman.b-cdn.net...
	12:28pm egould: Faye Dunaway as the voice of Diana Prince / Wonder Woman.
	👻 12:31pm Austin Rich: ↳ egould @12:28 Ha!
	👻 12:31pm Austin Rich: I do love the weird SFX on this story. The writer realized that for a story on a record, it made sense to lean in.
	👻 12:32pm Austin Rich: "Despotic Male."
	12:33pm egould: That turned dark.
	👻 12:33pm Austin Rich: ↳ egould @12:33 Yeah. This story gets wild.
	12:34pm WR: Sound as subtext to many of the features. Nice touch. The Woodstock cameo nearly made me choke on my oatmeal.
	👻 12:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ WR @12:34 Yeah. It sort of comes out of NOWHERE. That whole section is pretty bonkers.
	👻 12:39pm Austin Rich: There was a bit of a struggle to pick WHICH Hawaiian shirt I should wear for the photo above. I have to thank Marla, my partner, who suggested that one. She is, as usual, the secret sauce in everything I do.
	👻 12:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "https://drive.google.com/file/d/1K5NIcGr3xoFWM4Op... You can read along here, but you don't really need to enjoy the story. The images are low-quality, unfortunately.
	👻 12:41pm Austin Rich: The other story on this record implies that either Sherlock Holmes - or a very clever descendant - assists Batman to solve the case. I love how casually this story introduces kids to the idea of Transcendental Meditation.
	12:41pm WR: ↳ Song: "Gorilla City" by "Batman" TM shout out in the mid 70s.
	👻 12:42pm Austin Rich: ↳ WR @12:41 I wanna know how many kids asked their parents to get them books on TM, so they could be like Batman.
	12:43pm MHLee: Hello
	👻 12:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ MHLee @12:43 MHLee! Hooray!
	12:44pm Krys O.: ↳ Austin Rich @12:42 Ha!
	👻 12:45pm Austin Rich: I weigh more than Batman. More than I should, anyway.
	👻 12:47pm Austin Rich: I don't like the phrase "darkest Africa," but that phrase is almost always used when a comic book refers to anything in Africa.
	👻 12:47pm Austin Rich: I will totally end on time! Hooray! It's a Summer Camp Miracle!
	12:49pm Krys O.: Uncle Austin, your show has been incredible! Thank you!
	12:50pm David The Splatter: I had to go take care of a few things after DDR, but I've been listening the last hour or so. Great show, Austin!
	👻 12:51pm Austin Rich: Gorilla Grodd was one of those villains that went up against almost every DC hero at one point or another. I think these days the character is associated with The Flash, but he's appeared in almost every major comic.
	12:51pm MHLee: You forget I'm a super gorilla
	👻 12:51pm Austin Rich: David The Splatter! Thanks for joining. I appreciate all the kind words. I LOVED making this show. You can count on more Uncle Austin as the months go on.
	👻 12:52pm Austin Rich: Yoga Too! The kids must have been wild for Eastern Thought in the 70's.
	👻 12:53pm Austin Rich: The gorillas made Batman a jet! That's the kind of summary I love hearing.
	12:53pm Barno in Akron: Fun show funcle Austin!
	12:55pm Barno in Akron: We have an autographed photo of Mr Rogers framed in our livingroom. He's the best!
	👻 12:55pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: "Some Things I Don't Understand" by "Fred Rogers" I think about this song all the time.
	12:55pm WR: ↳ Barno in Akron @12:55 wow. A family treasure!
	👻 12:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ Barno in Akron @12:55 Yeah, that's seriously cool!
	12:56pm David The Splatter: ↳ Song: "Some Things I Don't Understand" by "Fred Rogers" I feel like we need more of this these days.
	👻 12:56pm Austin Rich: I think Mr. Roger's is scared of dogs.
	👻 12:56pm Austin Rich: Why do big people say no?
	👻 12:58pm Austin Rich: Why do I wonder a lot? Someday I'll know what to say.
	👻 12:58pm Mr Fab: ↳ Austin Rich @12:47 I would love to hear a show where they say “from lightest Africa.“ Super fun-ness today, thanks Unc!
	👻 12:58pm Austin Rich: Thank you everyone! See you next time!
	12:58pm Barno in Akron: Three people who inspire me the most, Fred Rogers, Henry Rollins, and my friend Philipos Melaku-Bello - georgetownvoice.com...
	1:06pm WR: ↳ Barno in Akron @12:58 Thanks for the link, Barno Thanks for the great show, Austin!
