WFMU: Dimestore Radio Theater with Austin Rich: Playlist from September 2, 2024

Listener comments!
	7:14pm Austin Rich: Good Hello.
	9:00pm Imaginos: Ahoy, me hearties! Another amazing show starting with Awesome Austin! Looks like an excellent line-up, but what else do you expect from him? Only the best from the best!
	9:01pm Webhamster Henry: Hi there Austin and Laborers!
	9:02pm Austin Rich: Thanks for joining us tonight, Imaginos and Webhambster Henry! The Digital Salon is open. Sit and stay a spell.
	9:03pm Imaginos: Colin Baker?!
	9:03pm yerfriendpaul: Hey Austin, everyone! I’m more present today than last week. Last Monday I was still loopy from all the post surgery meds they put me on. I’m feeling more alert today! New hip and clearer noggin (well, less foggy ha ha)
	9:04pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: ""The Impossible Murder"" by "Rogue's Gallery" There's a fair amount of background noise on this episode. Digital Salon regulars know I do my best to restore the sound on these shows. But for this one, when I tried to isolate that background noise, it actually killed the sound for the rest of the show. So I used a few other tricks to make it sound a little better anyway, and in particular, I think the voices are much more crisp.
	9:05pm Austin Rich: ↳ yerfriendpaul @9:03 A clear head and a solid hip is an important pair to have in life!
	9:05pm David The Splatter: Tuning in while Richard Rogue helps me finish some chores around here.
	9:05pm Austin Rich: Sounds like we have Gerald Mohr in this show tonight!
	9:05pm Maulydaft: AGAIN!!!! wow!
	9:05pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:03 Not the same Colin Baker. I sort of made that same "jump."
	9:06pm Austin Rich: Thanks for listening, yerfriendpaul, David The Splatter, and Maulydaft! Hooray!
	9:06pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:05 Lol! Didn't think so
	9:08pm Austin Rich: Since we'll be hitting the end of "Rogue's Gallery," at the end of the year, I was thinking I might try to use technology to create an album of, "Music From The Show." I don't have time for a project like that... but maybe someday...
	9:10pm Austin Rich: Dick Powell is an interesting actor, and he certainly flubs lines and repeats himself during these shows. (Which were usually recorded live to transcription disc.) As we reach the end of the run of this show, you'll hear Dick Powell blow all sorts of lines. I think the tolerance for that kind of "live" performance was higher in 1946. There's not a lot of live shows broadcast like this in the modern age, for comparison.
	9:12pm Austin Rich: "I need you, Mr. Rogue." Where have I heard THAT before?
	9:13pm Austin Rich: I like how Betty gives him plenty of crap. Rogue deserves it; he's absolutely a jerk, and Betty deserves better. I mean, Gerald Mohr is pretty handsome...
	9:14pm Austin Rich: "Like acid goes through cotton."
	9:15pm Austin Rich: "Romantic as a tub full of wet wash." Wait a minute: doing the laundry for my partner goes a LONG way toward making everyone in our house happy. Maybe he's implying someone is not finishing the wash?
	9:16pm Maulydaft: ↳ Austin Rich @9:08 That would be awesome! You could put out a collection of different show's music!? :o
	9:16pm Webhamster Henry: I didn't think you were going to drop in either, Eugor!
	9:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @9:16 That's what I was thinking. I really do love some of the background music on these shows.
	9:17pm yerfriendpaul: Love Eugor! The laugh
	9:17pm Austin Rich: I might make a Eugor "Supercut" someday. They are all VERY surreal.
	9:18pm Maulydaft: ↳ Austin Rich @9:17 I don't think I could listen - he's just too bizarre! :D
	9:20pm Austin Rich: Rogue takes a couple pills that a cop has, and suddenly he's well enough to finish the adventure. I do like how easy it is to bounce back from an injury in stories like this.
	9:20pm Austin Rich: On a personal note: not sure I would trust any "pills" a cop might just "happen to have."
	9:22pm Maulydaft: ↳ Austin Rich @9:20 Hahahah you got that right Austin!
	9:23pm David The Splatter: ↳ Austin Rich @9:20 Back then, a pill and a Pall Mall was the cure for anything.
	9:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @9:22 As I get older, I struggle more and more with Detective stories, as they seem to reinforce too much behavior I do not like. I had to tap out of watching The Wire, as it was hard to watch all this stuff about cops.
	9:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ David The Splatter @9:23 I do want to write a detective story where the booze and injuries catch up with him, and he has to spend a chapter recovering.
	9:26pm David The Splatter: ↳ Austin Rich @9:25 Great idea!
	9:28pm Austin Rich: Sometimes he's the bad guy, sometimes he's the hero, sometimes he's just an NPC. Gerald Mohr can play them all!
	9:29pm yerfriendpaul: Mike makes a good jump scream!
	9:29pm Maulydaft: While I've heard Gerald as "the bad guy" I've never heard him as a psychopath!
	9:29pm Austin Rich: ↳ yerfriendpaul @9:29 I'm sure that's one of the tests they give you when they are hiring for voice actors.
	9:29pm Austin Rich: Bad LA Traffic joke in 1946...
	9:30pm Imaginos: Getting sleepy earlier than usual
	9:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @9:29 The gent's got range!
	9:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:30 I understand. It's later for you than us. Sleep well!
	9:30pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:30 Thank you
	9:31pm Austin Rich: I had to repair the end of this episode, as it just "cut off" on the archived version.
	9:31pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Austin Rich @9:31 ... with a somewhat better copy
	9:34pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: ""The Two O'Clock Man"" by "The Adventures of Rock... I never know how much "sausage making" the Digital Salon is interested in, but I will say that Rocky Jordan often needs help, and I do what I can to balance the presentation for our ears. Some tools sand off too much of the rest of the ambience when you run them, so I try my best to land somewhere in the middle, where you can hear everything, as clearly as possible. It's a bit of a dance, sometimes.
	9:36pm David The Splatter: It sounds pretty clear, though, so whatever you're doing is working.
	9:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ David The Splatter @9:36 For me, making sure the voices are clear seems like a priority.
	9:37pm Austin Rich: Even in Cairo, the cops think some kids are just "doomed" to a life of crime. "Same as it ever was..."
	9:39pm Austin Rich: There are some very dark episodes of Rocky Jordan. But one that starts off with a street kid dying is pretty intense.
	9:39pm laurapanic: hi dimestore kids. Bit late, had a thoroughly pleasant coffee date and thrifting outing with my mum.
	9:40pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:39 Thrifting is an important part of any rich social life.
	9:40pm Austin Rich: "It was all there, all very nice." Uhm... what does THAT mean?
	9:41pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @9:40 I came away empty handed, which is disappointing. But the blow was softened by an almond croissant.
	9:41pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:41 Did Mom find anything, aside from croissant-joy?
	9:44pm Austin Rich: In her retirement, my mom now has an e-bay store, where she sells t-shirts she finds at thrift stores. She also inherited a massive CD collection from some friend of a friend, so she now sells CDs and Tee's. She seems to enjoy it.
	9:45pm Maulydaft: ↳ Austin Rich @9:39 Yeah this show goes places most others at the time wouldn't touch/aren't as articulate about...
	9:46pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @9:41 I had to leave her there and return home and do some work. She appeared to have an armful of items. I'd love to browse your mom's store.
	9:47pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:46 www.ebay.com...
	9:47pm Austin Rich: She's an ex-biker, so there's a fair amount of motorcycle images on her page.
	9:48pm Maulydaft: "As easy as tailing an elephant in a clothes closet" !!! LOL
	9:49pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @9:48 I LOVE the dialog on these shows! I like to say I'm "studying" so I can write like this, but really, I'm just in awe.
	9:50pm Maulydaft: ↳ Austin Rich @9:47 fun!
	9:50pm laurapanic: 2 seconds in and I love her
	9:50pm David The Splatter: "Visitor's Day at the Morgue"??
	9:50pm laurapanic: ↳ laurapanic @9:50 her avatar is perfect
	9:51pm laurapanic: hocum is a cool word I need more
	9:51pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:50 Yeah! I sort of wish she still rode, but she's in her 70's, and she's worried about falling off at her age, etc. It's a good idea to leave it behind, but... damn, that sucks.
	9:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ David The Splatter @9:50 What does that mean, exactly?
	9:54pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @9:51 yeh I stopped sportsing for similar reasons. Too many folks my age getting round in moonboots from doing things. Sole carer of kids, too risky to be injured.
	9:54pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @9:51 loving the shirts. should be working not browsing.
	9:55pm David The Splatter: I don't know. Rocky said it was pretty quiet, though.
	9:55pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:54 I fell a few weeks back listening to the new X album - it LITERALLY knocked me off my feet - and I'm still recovering from that little "boo-boo." Getting older is dumb. I need to work out more and ride my bike everywhere.
	9:58pm Austin Rich: Rocky does a little "telephone" comedy.
	10:00pm Austin Rich: "Romantic fade-out with a girl...."
	10:03pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @9:55 at least it was a "cool" fall!!
	10:06pm yerfriendpaul: I was lucky. One of my best friends in high school (and today) is Cuban American and he shared his Dad’s records with me and my brothers. Perez is great.
	10:07pm yerfriendpaul: Benny Moré too. Really enjoy his music
	10:11pm Maulydaft: Awww thanks Austin! Siue is just "Sue" - ignore the "I" :D
	10:16pm laurapanic: So you you all have just a good mic, and a laptop? I've always wondered...
	10:16pm laurapanic: when I did radio in the 80s/90s it was in a studio....I miss it.
	10:17pm David The Splatter: I've got to split. Headed back to work in the morning, so it's time for bed. G'night, everyone and thanks for the fun, Austin.
	10:17pm laurapanic: wow, your set up sounds terrific. Thanks for sharing
	10:18pm Webhamster Henry: Otis Fodder might have a Zoom party.
	10:20pm Webhamster Henry: Uncle Michael streams a live cam from his studio during his show. Listeners can't join in though.
	10:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:17 When covid hit, I didn't want to miss shows, and I wanted a place to record songs without going into studios. So I made something that could work best for all those needs. It's could use a little re-build, as it's a couple years old now. But it works, so I'm afraid of changing anything.
	10:21pm Maulydaft: I'm going to miss this audio doc :D
	10:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:20 I have been asked about why I don't do a camera, or discord, or something... but it's sort of boring to watch. I just sit around a lot, and push buttons. Maybe I should wear a gorilla mask?
	10:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @10:21 I love this person's voice! And they really love the 20's, and do the research so they know what they're talking about. It's very cool.
	10:22pm Maulydaft: I'm 50 and honesty I don't understand the appeal of all those podcasts with camera! LOL
	10:23pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Austin Rich @10:22 Gorilla masks are a proven boost for any medium. Something to consider
	10:23pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @10:22 I think there's a place for video podcasts, but I don't think I do that kind of show. I did an "All video" show for my 300th episode of MVM. It was fun, but a lot of work.
	10:24pm Webhamster Henry: Duquesne is pronounced "du KANE"
	10:24pm Maulydaft: ↳ Austin Rich @10:23 True and true!!
	10:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ yerfriendpaul @10:23 I have wanted to wear a gorilla costume for a Halloween event for years. Someday...
	10:25pm Maulydaft: ha! Who'd have thought the Episcopalians would the hardest to record!
	10:25pm Austin Rich: Dimestore fans might appreciate: I did a Kids Show recently, for "Summer Camp," where I played a lot of narrative stories. I thought of it as "Saturday Morning Cartoons" for your ears: wfmu.org...
	10:26pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Austin Rich @10:24 Ha ha! I fell in love with idea of a gorilla suit back when I used to watch old reruns of MAS*H. The early episodes feature Hawkeye and Trapper in the suits and I ate it up. One day, my wife gifted me my very own gorilla suit. If that’s not love I don’t know what is!
	10:27pm Maulydaft: ↳ Austin Rich @10:25 That looks so fun! I have a thing for music from kids records in the 60s. Some of that music is SO AWESOME and you'll likely never know who it was! :o
	10:27pm Austin Rich: ↳ yerfriendpaul @10:26 Wow! I would wear that OFTEN! My partner found me a Ghostbusters jumpsuit, and I wore that until it no longer fit.
	10:27pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Austin Rich @10:27 Ha ha! Beautiful!!
	10:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @10:27 Me too! I have a lot of kids records, so doing "Summer Camp" fill-ins is going to be how I play that stuff.
	10:29pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Austin Rich @10:25 I have a few of these story records. I sent the link to my brother.
	10:29pm Maulydaft: ↳ Austin Rich @10:28 It's those garage bands they'd get to play on the super hero story records... wow!
	10:30pm Austin Rich: On the subject of Gorilla's: my old roommate once found a Gorilla mask, wore a deerstalker hat over it, carried a pipe, dressed in a very snazzy suit, and called himself "The Gorilla "Soul" Detective." It was my favorite costume I've seen at a party.
	10:30pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ yerfriendpaul @10:26 Wait --- you people are NOT wearing Gorilla suits? no wonder you're not live vlogging!
	10:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @10:29 Seriously! I played this record about an elephant musician that falls in love with an ant, then goes to the moon because their love can never be. It's got WILD music.
	10:31pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:30 I would but it’s at the dry cleaners
	10:31pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @10:30 www.discogs.com...
	10:35pm Austin Rich: Of course the Blue Beetle has a Cell Phone in 1940. It took me until 2004.
	10:35pm Maulydaft: ↳ Austin Rich @10:30 Whoah! Can't wait to hear it!
	10:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @10:35 It's wonderfully weird.
	10:36pm Maulydaft: ↳ Austin Rich @10:35 Ha! Well don't feel bad, I got my own flip phone in 2017 and graduated to an actual smart phone last year ;)
	10:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:30 "Vlog, if you want to. Vlog, around the world..."
	10:37pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @10:36 You weren't missing much. Part of me wishes I'd never gotten a smart phone, so I never knew what I was missing.
	10:38pm Maulydaft: Until I got the stupid smart phone (which is huge because I didn't realize how big it was in the kiosk) everyone commented about how they would prefer to have a flip phone like mine...
	10:38pm Austin Rich: I've never played Bridge. Ever since I heard Ghoulardi make fun of Bridge, I never bothered to learn how to play.
	10:43pm Austin Rich: I think we'll go about 10 minutes over. Sorry everyone!
	10:44pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @10:43 I would be mad if we didn't
	10:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:44 Sometimes I think I want a 3 hour show. Then I think about the extra work...
	10:46pm Maulydaft: ↳ Austin Rich @10:44 So much work!!!
	10:47pm laurapanic: ↳ Song: ""Project Trojan"" by "X-Minus One" MMMMMMM pop psychology
	10:47pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: ""Project Trojan"" by "X-Minus One" When it comes to sound on X-Minus One, from here on out, we have PRETTY GOOD quality. Fans were archiving the show, and Sci-Fi was more popular in 1956, so the transcription discs that contained these stories became valuable, and not just at the stations that kept and played them over and over again. So we have very high quality archives of this show, to our benefit here and now. Still, I do a little clean-up here and there, even on good episodes.
	10:48pm Austin Rich: I appreciate that this episode sort of acknowledges that Galaxy Magazine exists, and how the stories and essays in the publication blur the line between reality and Sci-Fi. It's a good frame device for almost any kind of story...
	10:49pm Austin Rich: X-Minus One breaks the Fourth Wall often, and old radio seemed to revel in doing it. Still, I appreciate it when I hear a bit of 4th Wall Breaking in the wild.
	10:50pm Maulydaft: Sometimes I'm shocked at how good quality X-Minus One is... the stories themselves are NOT shockingly good to be because it's my fav time of SciFi :D
	10:50pm Austin Rich: Based on all available evidence, I think my tombstone should read, "I Have So Much To Say..."
	10:51pm Maulydaft: ↳ Austin Rich @10:49 I'm such a fan of 4th wall breaking of any kind :D
	10:53pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @10:51 I wrote about that in my Shakespeare classes in college, too. I like the idea of art interacting with us, the way we interact with it.
	10:53pm Austin Rich: The 14th of February. Valentine's Day. A good day to launch a deceptive war project?
	10:53pm yerfriendpaul: Nothing motivates like the threat of pulling the plug on your department
	10:54pm Maulydaft: ↳ Austin Rich @10:53 Gosh I'd never really made that connection to Shakespeare! But yeah... all those soliloquies
	10:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ yerfriendpaul @10:53 It was the only way to get anyone from my college departments to attend ANY budget meetings, so that tracks...
	10:54pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Austin Rich @10:54 Ha ha!
	10:55pm Austin Rich: I like that this writer has a varied background in the kind of writing he does. That's VERY accurate to the kind of people who wrote in pulps in those days. "Follow the trends..."
	10:56pm Maulydaft: ↳ Austin Rich @10:55 Very true
	10:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @10:55 Also: he's the low-man on the seniority chart at work. That tracks for writers, too.
	10:58pm Austin Rich: "Call it a... DEATH RAY!"
	10:59pm Austin Rich: I do love the NBC Library Music that you hear on a lot of their shows, Dimension X and X-Minus One, included. I should make an album of that music.
	11:00pm Austin Rich: "Oh dear. Lucky it won't work." These actors got the english "dryness" quite right, indeed.
	11:01pm Austin Rich: 8:40 left in the story. Thanks for you patience!
	11:01pm Webhamster Henry: The army actually had a whole ghost army project where fake tanks made of cardboard or inflated as baloons were set up, including faked battle noises. ghostarmy.com
	11:02pm Austin Rich: The "comedy" cues in the NBC Library Music are particularly strange and curious to me. Who's idea was that?
	11:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @11:01 I thought I remembered something like that! Thanks for the link.
	11:04pm Austin Rich: "Fill the glasses up again." One thing you can count on in X-Minus One episodes: they find excuses to drink. OFTEN.
	11:06pm Austin Rich: "We lost the war." <Comedy Cue> Like, who's idea was that?
	11:08pm Austin Rich: Thanks again, everyone!
	11:08pm WR: Thank you, Austin!
	11:08pm laurapanic: thanks Austin
	11:08pm yerfriendpaul: Thank you Austin! Good night everyone!

	9:01pm Webhamster Henry: Hi there Austin and Laborers!
	9:02pm Austin Rich: Thanks for joining us tonight, Imaginos and Webhambster Henry! The Digital Salon is open. Sit and stay a spell.
	9:03pm Imaginos: Colin Baker?!
	9:03pm yerfriendpaul: Hey Austin, everyone! I’m more present today than last week. Last Monday I was still loopy from all the post surgery meds they put me on. I’m feeling more alert today! New hip and clearer noggin (well, less foggy ha ha)

	9:05pm Austin Rich: Sounds like we have Gerald Mohr in this show tonight!
	9:05pm Maulydaft: AGAIN!!!! wow!
	9:05pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:03 Not the same Colin Baker. I sort of made that same "jump."
	9:06pm Austin Rich: Thanks for listening, yerfriendpaul, David The Splatter, and Maulydaft! Hooray!
	9:06pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:05 Lol! Didn't think so
	9:08pm Austin Rich: Since we'll be hitting the end of "Rogue's Gallery," at the end of the year, I was thinking I might try to use technology to create an album of, "Music From The Show." I don't have time for a project like that... but maybe someday...

	9:22pm Maulydaft: ↳ Austin Rich @9:20 Hahahah you got that right Austin!
	9:23pm David The Splatter: ↳ Austin Rich @9:20 Back then, a pill and a Pall Mall was the cure for anything.
	9:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @9:22 As I get older, I struggle more and more with Detective stories, as they seem to reinforce too much behavior I do not like. I had to tap out of watching The Wire, as it was hard to watch all this stuff about cops.
	9:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ David The Splatter @9:23 I do want to write a detective story where the booze and injuries catch up with him, and he has to spend a chapter recovering.
	9:26pm David The Splatter: ↳ Austin Rich @9:25 Great idea!
	9:28pm Austin Rich: Sometimes he's the bad guy, sometimes he's the hero, sometimes he's just an NPC. Gerald Mohr can play them all!
	9:29pm yerfriendpaul: Mike makes a good jump scream!
	9:29pm Maulydaft: While I've heard Gerald as "the bad guy" I've never heard him as a psychopath!
	9:29pm Austin Rich: ↳ yerfriendpaul @9:29 I'm sure that's one of the tests they give you when they are hiring for voice actors.
	9:29pm Austin Rich: Bad LA Traffic joke in 1946...
	9:30pm Imaginos: Getting sleepy earlier than usual
	9:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @9:29 The gent's got range!
	9:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:30 I understand. It's later for you than us. Sleep well!
	9:30pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:30 Thank you
	9:31pm Austin Rich: I had to repair the end of this episode, as it just "cut off" on the archived version.
	9:31pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Austin Rich @9:31 ... with a somewhat better copy
	9:34pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: ""The Two O'Clock Man"" by "The Adventures of Rock... I never know how much "sausage making" the Digital Salon is interested in, but I will say that Rocky Jordan often needs help, and I do what I can to balance the presentation for our ears. Some tools sand off too much of the rest of the ambience when you run them, so I try my best to land somewhere in the middle, where you can hear everything, as clearly as possible. It's a bit of a dance, sometimes.
	9:36pm David The Splatter: It sounds pretty clear, though, so whatever you're doing is working.
	9:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ David The Splatter @9:36 For me, making sure the voices are clear seems like a priority.
	9:37pm Austin Rich: Even in Cairo, the cops think some kids are just "doomed" to a life of crime. "Same as it ever was..."
	9:39pm Austin Rich: There are some very dark episodes of Rocky Jordan. But one that starts off with a street kid dying is pretty intense.
	9:39pm laurapanic: hi dimestore kids. Bit late, had a thoroughly pleasant coffee date and thrifting outing with my mum.
	9:40pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:39 Thrifting is an important part of any rich social life.
	9:40pm Austin Rich: "It was all there, all very nice." Uhm... what does THAT mean?
	9:41pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @9:40 I came away empty handed, which is disappointing. But the blow was softened by an almond croissant.
	9:41pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:41 Did Mom find anything, aside from croissant-joy?
	9:44pm Austin Rich: In her retirement, my mom now has an e-bay store, where she sells t-shirts she finds at thrift stores. She also inherited a massive CD collection from some friend of a friend, so she now sells CDs and Tee's. She seems to enjoy it.
	9:45pm Maulydaft: ↳ Austin Rich @9:39 Yeah this show goes places most others at the time wouldn't touch/aren't as articulate about...
	9:46pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @9:41 I had to leave her there and return home and do some work. She appeared to have an armful of items. I'd love to browse your mom's store.
	9:47pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:46 www.ebay.com...
	9:47pm Austin Rich: She's an ex-biker, so there's a fair amount of motorcycle images on her page.
	9:48pm Maulydaft: "As easy as tailing an elephant in a clothes closet" !!! LOL
	9:49pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @9:48 I LOVE the dialog on these shows! I like to say I'm "studying" so I can write like this, but really, I'm just in awe.
	9:50pm Maulydaft: ↳ Austin Rich @9:47 fun!
	9:50pm laurapanic: 2 seconds in and I love her
	9:50pm David The Splatter: "Visitor's Day at the Morgue"??
	9:50pm laurapanic: ↳ laurapanic @9:50 her avatar is perfect
	9:51pm laurapanic: hocum is a cool word I need more
	9:51pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:50 Yeah! I sort of wish she still rode, but she's in her 70's, and she's worried about falling off at her age, etc. It's a good idea to leave it behind, but... damn, that sucks.
	9:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ David The Splatter @9:50 What does that mean, exactly?
	9:54pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @9:51 yeh I stopped sportsing for similar reasons. Too many folks my age getting round in moonboots from doing things. Sole carer of kids, too risky to be injured.
	9:54pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @9:51 loving the shirts. should be working not browsing.
	9:55pm David The Splatter: I don't know. Rocky said it was pretty quiet, though.
	9:55pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:54 I fell a few weeks back listening to the new X album - it LITERALLY knocked me off my feet - and I'm still recovering from that little "boo-boo." Getting older is dumb. I need to work out more and ride my bike everywhere.
	9:58pm Austin Rich: Rocky does a little "telephone" comedy.
	10:00pm Austin Rich: "Romantic fade-out with a girl...."
	10:03pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @9:55 at least it was a "cool" fall!!
	10:06pm yerfriendpaul: I was lucky. One of my best friends in high school (and today) is Cuban American and he shared his Dad’s records with me and my brothers. Perez is great.
	10:07pm yerfriendpaul: Benny Moré too. Really enjoy his music
	10:11pm Maulydaft: Awww thanks Austin! Siue is just "Sue" - ignore the "I" :D
	10:16pm laurapanic: So you you all have just a good mic, and a laptop? I've always wondered...
	10:16pm laurapanic: when I did radio in the 80s/90s it was in a studio....I miss it.
	10:17pm David The Splatter: I've got to split. Headed back to work in the morning, so it's time for bed. G'night, everyone and thanks for the fun, Austin.
	10:17pm laurapanic: wow, your set up sounds terrific. Thanks for sharing
	10:18pm Webhamster Henry: Otis Fodder might have a Zoom party.
	10:20pm Webhamster Henry: Uncle Michael streams a live cam from his studio during his show. Listeners can't join in though.
	10:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:17 When covid hit, I didn't want to miss shows, and I wanted a place to record songs without going into studios. So I made something that could work best for all those needs. It's could use a little re-build, as it's a couple years old now. But it works, so I'm afraid of changing anything.
	10:21pm Maulydaft: I'm going to miss this audio doc :D
	10:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:20 I have been asked about why I don't do a camera, or discord, or something... but it's sort of boring to watch. I just sit around a lot, and push buttons. Maybe I should wear a gorilla mask?
	10:22pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @10:21 I love this person's voice! And they really love the 20's, and do the research so they know what they're talking about. It's very cool.
	10:22pm Maulydaft: I'm 50 and honesty I don't understand the appeal of all those podcasts with camera! LOL
	10:23pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Austin Rich @10:22 Gorilla masks are a proven boost for any medium. Something to consider
	10:23pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @10:22 I think there's a place for video podcasts, but I don't think I do that kind of show. I did an "All video" show for my 300th episode of MVM. It was fun, but a lot of work.
	10:24pm Webhamster Henry: Duquesne is pronounced "du KANE"
	10:24pm Maulydaft: ↳ Austin Rich @10:23 True and true!!
	10:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ yerfriendpaul @10:23 I have wanted to wear a gorilla costume for a Halloween event for years. Someday...
	10:25pm Maulydaft: ha! Who'd have thought the Episcopalians would the hardest to record!
	10:25pm Austin Rich: Dimestore fans might appreciate: I did a Kids Show recently, for "Summer Camp," where I played a lot of narrative stories. I thought of it as "Saturday Morning Cartoons" for your ears: wfmu.org...
	10:26pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Austin Rich @10:24 Ha ha! I fell in love with idea of a gorilla suit back when I used to watch old reruns of MAS*H. The early episodes feature Hawkeye and Trapper in the suits and I ate it up. One day, my wife gifted me my very own gorilla suit. If that’s not love I don’t know what is!
	10:27pm Maulydaft: ↳ Austin Rich @10:25 That looks so fun! I have a thing for music from kids records in the 60s. Some of that music is SO AWESOME and you'll likely never know who it was! :o
	10:27pm Austin Rich: ↳ yerfriendpaul @10:26 Wow! I would wear that OFTEN! My partner found me a Ghostbusters jumpsuit, and I wore that until it no longer fit.
	10:27pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Austin Rich @10:27 Ha ha! Beautiful!!
	10:28pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @10:27 Me too! I have a lot of kids records, so doing "Summer Camp" fill-ins is going to be how I play that stuff.
	10:29pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ Austin Rich @10:25 I have a few of these story records. I sent the link to my brother.
	10:29pm Maulydaft: ↳ Austin Rich @10:28 It's those garage bands they'd get to play on the super hero story records... wow!
	10:30pm Austin Rich: On the subject of Gorilla's: my old roommate once found a Gorilla mask, wore a deerstalker hat over it, carried a pipe, dressed in a very snazzy suit, and called himself "The Gorilla "Soul" Detective." It was my favorite costume I've seen at a party.
	10:30pm Webhamster Henry: ↳ yerfriendpaul @10:26 Wait --- you people are NOT wearing Gorilla suits? no wonder you're not live vlogging!
	10:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @10:29 Seriously! I played this record about an elephant musician that falls in love with an ant, then goes to the moon because their love can never be. It's got WILD music.
	10:31pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:30 I would but it’s at the dry cleaners
	10:31pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @10:30 www.discogs.com...
	10:35pm Austin Rich: Of course the Blue Beetle has a Cell Phone in 1940. It took me until 2004.
	10:35pm Maulydaft: ↳ Austin Rich @10:30 Whoah! Can't wait to hear it!
	10:35pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @10:35 It's wonderfully weird.
	10:36pm Maulydaft: ↳ Austin Rich @10:35 Ha! Well don't feel bad, I got my own flip phone in 2017 and graduated to an actual smart phone last year ;)
	10:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @10:30 "Vlog, if you want to. Vlog, around the world..."
	10:37pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @10:36 You weren't missing much. Part of me wishes I'd never gotten a smart phone, so I never knew what I was missing.
	10:38pm Maulydaft: Until I got the stupid smart phone (which is huge because I didn't realize how big it was in the kiosk) everyone commented about how they would prefer to have a flip phone like mine...
	10:38pm Austin Rich: I've never played Bridge. Ever since I heard Ghoulardi make fun of Bridge, I never bothered to learn how to play.
	10:43pm Austin Rich: I think we'll go about 10 minutes over. Sorry everyone!
	10:44pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @10:43 I would be mad if we didn't
	10:44pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:44 Sometimes I think I want a 3 hour show. Then I think about the extra work...
	10:46pm Maulydaft: ↳ Austin Rich @10:44 So much work!!!
	10:47pm laurapanic: ↳ Song: ""Project Trojan"" by "X-Minus One" MMMMMMM pop psychology
	10:47pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: ""Project Trojan"" by "X-Minus One" When it comes to sound on X-Minus One, from here on out, we have PRETTY GOOD quality. Fans were archiving the show, and Sci-Fi was more popular in 1956, so the transcription discs that contained these stories became valuable, and not just at the stations that kept and played them over and over again. So we have very high quality archives of this show, to our benefit here and now. Still, I do a little clean-up here and there, even on good episodes.
	10:48pm Austin Rich: I appreciate that this episode sort of acknowledges that Galaxy Magazine exists, and how the stories and essays in the publication blur the line between reality and Sci-Fi. It's a good frame device for almost any kind of story...
	10:49pm Austin Rich: X-Minus One breaks the Fourth Wall often, and old radio seemed to revel in doing it. Still, I appreciate it when I hear a bit of 4th Wall Breaking in the wild.
	10:50pm Maulydaft: Sometimes I'm shocked at how good quality X-Minus One is... the stories themselves are NOT shockingly good to be because it's my fav time of SciFi :D
	10:50pm Austin Rich: Based on all available evidence, I think my tombstone should read, "I Have So Much To Say..."
	10:51pm Maulydaft: ↳ Austin Rich @10:49 I'm such a fan of 4th wall breaking of any kind :D
	10:53pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @10:51 I wrote about that in my Shakespeare classes in college, too. I like the idea of art interacting with us, the way we interact with it.
	10:53pm Austin Rich: The 14th of February. Valentine's Day. A good day to launch a deceptive war project?
	10:53pm yerfriendpaul: Nothing motivates like the threat of pulling the plug on your department
	10:54pm Maulydaft: ↳ Austin Rich @10:53 Gosh I'd never really made that connection to Shakespeare! But yeah... all those soliloquies
	10:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ yerfriendpaul @10:53 It was the only way to get anyone from my college departments to attend ANY budget meetings, so that tracks...
	10:54pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Austin Rich @10:54 Ha ha!
	10:55pm Austin Rich: I like that this writer has a varied background in the kind of writing he does. That's VERY accurate to the kind of people who wrote in pulps in those days. "Follow the trends..."
	10:56pm Maulydaft: ↳ Austin Rich @10:55 Very true
	10:56pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @10:55 Also: he's the low-man on the seniority chart at work. That tracks for writers, too.
	10:58pm Austin Rich: "Call it a... DEATH RAY!"
	10:59pm Austin Rich: I do love the NBC Library Music that you hear on a lot of their shows, Dimension X and X-Minus One, included. I should make an album of that music.
	11:00pm Austin Rich: "Oh dear. Lucky it won't work." These actors got the english "dryness" quite right, indeed.
	11:01pm Austin Rich: 8:40 left in the story. Thanks for you patience!
	11:01pm Webhamster Henry: The army actually had a whole ghost army project where fake tanks made of cardboard or inflated as baloons were set up, including faked battle noises. ghostarmy.com
	11:02pm Austin Rich: The "comedy" cues in the NBC Library Music are particularly strange and curious to me. Who's idea was that?
	11:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @11:01 I thought I remembered something like that! Thanks for the link.
	11:04pm Austin Rich: "Fill the glasses up again." One thing you can count on in X-Minus One episodes: they find excuses to drink. OFTEN.
	11:06pm Austin Rich: "We lost the war." <Comedy Cue> Like, who's idea was that?
	11:08pm Austin Rich: Thanks again, everyone!
	11:08pm WR: Thank you, Austin!
	11:08pm laurapanic: thanks Austin
	11:08pm yerfriendpaul: Thank you Austin! Good night everyone!
