Listener comments!

thrown off for a bit hearing the show while doing the dishes. Now I see. And remember last year.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:17pm Your DJs:

We hope you didn't break any dishes mark...
  6:27pm mark vt:

This almost seems kind of like when Clay and Fabio do a similar thing at times on Thursdays. Is it going to be as wacky?
  6:31pm Ike:

"Type Q-Minus" -- ha ha, I'll have to use that to describe myself (in real life anyway, not on the comments).
  6:31pm Ken From Hyde Park:

RIP Hal David, age 91.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 6:34pm Your DJs:

Glad to amuse you Ike and thanks for the news Ken - not great news but 91 years, not a bad run...
  6:48pm slugluv1313:

Avatar Swag For Life Member 7:09pm Your DJs:

Thanks Ike!
  7:39pm mark vt:

I think I am finally coming down off of a strange blue moon trip and this show is just right for that right now. I am affected by those astral things. Like a where the heck am I wolf.

  8:51pm Bas, NL:

Yes!! Cornershop!
  8:59pm Bas, NL:

Thanks Katie and Rob!
  8:59pm mark vt:

Wacky
  9:01pm Ike:

Glad you didn't dump just because it slightly messes up the sound (makes it all stretchy and weird, a bit like bad MP3 artifacts) until the buffer is re-built.
