55:43 – This episode was recorded and produced on 1-25-12 for the purpose of being released exactly three months later, on 4-25-12. I have not listened to it since it was completed. I remember very little about the episode’s content, apart from the inclusion of a song called Kenny Kat (Blasting Trout Overbite, Attribution 3.0 United States), so this should prove to be an exciting experiment for us all.
