Hey Frank, cool audio of the Apple Store opening! I didn’t actually realize there was a chat room set up for Nightstation; I’ll have to check that out. Arsenio… now that’s a name I’ve not heard in a long time…
I love the Jack Benny Program: it’s my favorite old-time radio show. When he did the Allen’s Alley parody, he called his version Benny’s Boulevard and I think he had Dennis Day and Phil Harris imitate all the characters. I’ve listened to some Fred Allen, and the guy was undeniably brilliant, but some of his material is hard to follow because it’s more topical than Benny’s and you don’t always get the proper context to “get” the jokes. The fake feud between the two is top-notch material.
Cheers!

Great show, I think the shows on onsug have been top class latly!
It’s also always interesting and cool to hear you talk about atlantis and all that. And I can’t get enough of the ambient sounds in the background with the traffic and city sounds, I love the mood!
