WFMU: Dimestore Radio Theater with Austin Rich: Playlist from September 30, 2024

Listener comments!
	👻 7:16pm Austin Rich: Good Hello.
	8:58pm Imaginos: Ahoy me hearties!
	9:01pm Imaginos: 7 minutes to whomp!
	👻 9:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @8:58 Nice to see you in the chat, Imaginos! Sit down and stay a spell in the Digital Salon. Cigar? Cocktail?
	9:01pm Maulydaft: Wow that Mucka Blucka song was equally awful and wonderful! :D
	👻 9:02pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @9:01 Maulydaft! Wonderful to see you tonight. The Digital Salon is at your disposal!
	9:02pm Webhamster Henry: Go 'way, scat!
	👻 9:02pm yerfriendpaul: Hey Austin, everyone!
	9:03pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:01 Milk plus and essence of man
	👻 9:04pm Austin Rich: You might recognize this story, if you've heard all the previous Rogue's Gallery episodes. At this point in the run of the show, Rogue's Gallery has moved to a new network, and they were running some of the "classics" again, to see if it would present their "best" qualities. Dick Powell wasn't enjoying it after years and years on the air, so he retired from the role, and it was taken over by Barry Sullivan. That version didn't last long at all. So yeah, you might recognize this show as the story, "Angela Mullens." Thanks to WR, who noticed we were hearing "repeats" last week, when I forgot to mention it.
	👻 9:04pm Austin Rich: Webhamster Henry and yerfriendpaul! The Digital Salon has room for all!
	👻 9:06pm Austin Rich: Dick Powell blows a few lines, and gets some names wrong as this episode goes. You can sort of hear how invested he is in the show at this point.
	9:07pm Maulydaft: No one blew so many lines as Powell on the radio! :o
	👻 9:07pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @9:07 And yet, he was so charming when he did it! I am a sucker for his voice at this point.
	9:07pm Imaginos: Well Rogue outlasted my expectations
	👻 9:08pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:07 Sometimes he outsmarts Eugor.
	👻 9:09pm Austin Rich: You might have noticed above that the 7th and 14th are now "special" shows, for our Hellraiser. FOUR HOURS EACH. ALL HORROR AND SCARY STORIES. I would love to see ya'll in the Digital Salon, for those.
	👻 9:10pm Austin Rich: Is that Gerald Mohr I hear?
	9:12pm Maulydaft: Austin do you happen to know any details about the timing/broadcasters of Rogue's Gallery and Philip Marlow? There must be SOME reason Gerald Mohr seems be on so many shows!
	9:12pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @9:09 hi Austin....wow that sounds super cool!
	👻 9:12pm Austin Rich: As you could hear, Gerald Mohr has a noticeable cold that he's fighting while he's working with other voice actors. You can even hear him cough ...
	👻 9:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @9:12 Good Question! I should look into that. I was just thinking that I might have to run Phillip Marlow after I'm done with all the Dick Powell shows.
	👻 9:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:12 laurapanic! Now the party in the Digital Salon can get started! Thanks for joining us.
	9:14pm Webhamster Henry: Rogue is still conscious!
	👻 9:15pm Austin Rich: I have probably mentioned this before, but I'll be missing shows on October 21st and October 28th. Miss Mei will fill in on the 21st. We're still trying to figure out what will happen on the 28th. But I am missing those shows for some VERY cool reasons... wfmu.org...
	👻 9:15pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:14 It happens, occasionally.
	9:15pm Maulydaft: ↳ Austin Rich @9:13 I would encourage it :D I'm close to finishing my 4th listen! Oh! This woman was on Philip Marlowe shows a lot too!
	9:15pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @9:13 woohooo! I'll have to block out my work calendar for the 4hr shows. "International Online Networking Session". That works, yeh?
	👻 9:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @9:15 I love those Marlowe shows. I think it's one of my faves, but I think I've said that on the show a NUMBER of times.
	9:16pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @9:15 well, ok, then I'll allow it for that cool as fuck outing
	👻 9:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:15 But of course? If we mention ONE work related thing, that makes it an official work meeting, right?
	👻 9:17pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:16 I still can't believe it is happening. I've probably been rehearsing a LITTLE more than usual, perhaps?
	👻 9:17pm Austin Rich: There he goes!
	9:18pm Maulydaft: it blows my mind that even in 1946 traffic was nuts :o
	9:18pm Maulydaft: I wonder if folks got tired of Eugor in 1946? I sure am LOL!
	👻 9:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @9:18 I was gonna comment on that! When, exactly, was it "great" to drive and park in California?
	9:21pm wenzo: Howdee howdee!
	9:22pm Maulydaft: hhhhhaaaaaa!
	9:22pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:18 In the 80s Missing Persons had a song called Walking in LA where they said nobody walks in LA
	👻 9:23pm yerfriendpaul: Wow! What a colossal flub! Holy Christ! Ha ha
	9:23pm Maulydaft: Whoah yeah this is his worst eh? Flubbs galore!
	👻 9:24pm Austin Rich: Wenzo! Nice to see you in the chat.
	👻 9:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:22 I remember that song.
	👻 9:24pm Austin Rich: Listen to Gerald do his lines with a cold!
	9:25pm Maulydaft: I wonder if Powell was just over confident? He was a film star, after all, and most of the other actors weren't.
	9:25pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @9:17 its so exciting, I hope its a bunch of fun and fills your creative bucket
	👻 9:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @9:23 Yeah. This seems like recorded evidence that he was a little checked out for this show. Maybe just this episode, but... something else was on his mind this day.
	👻 9:26pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:25 It'll be fun, for sure. I just want to make sure I have all my chops at my disposal. I've seen him play a few times. It's always fun.
	👻 9:28pm Austin Rich: Flubs his lines, sexist... yeah, he's hard to love.
	👻 9:29pm Austin Rich: I know I've talked about this before, but as you start to piece together Rogue's personality, he is a TERRIBLE person. I might love Dick Powell as a performer, but Rogue is a pretty awful person.
	👻 9:29pm Austin Rich: The Dick Powell movie that the announcer was talking about. en.wikipedia.org...
	9:29pm drowsy: A Fez? Let's GOOOO.
	👻 9:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ drowsy @9:29 Yeah. You know you're having a good time in a Fez! Thanks for dropping by the Digital Salon, drowsy!
	👻 9:33pm Austin Rich: While it was hopefully not noticeable, the original archived version of that episode of Rogue's Gallery was at the wrong speed. In addition to my usual clean-up for that episode, I had to change the speed to make it sound normal. (It was archived at a slower, much more noticable speed. But I couldn't find anyone online who had tried to fix it yet. Hopefully it sounded "normal," which was the goal.)
	9:34pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @9:33 surely there is some fancy archival job that needs you to use these amazing skills and knowledge
	9:35pm Imaginos: Night or knight? Lol
	👻 9:35pm Austin Rich: On the subject of restoration: I did my usual "clean up" on this Rocky Jordan, too. There were a few spots that had too much background noise, and I did my best to clean it up without ruining the rest of the sound.
	👻 9:37pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:34 I wonder? I do find it sort of soothing to get very detail-oriented on that kind of project. I could probably spend a lot more time on all of this, but I have to tap out after a point. I could spend forever on some.
	👻 9:38pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:35 So much pun-tential.
	9:39pm drowsy: ↳ Austin Rich @9:35 v cool.
	9:41pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:38 Indeed
	👻 9:41pm Austin Rich: "I'm not so bad to wait with." That's a 1949 line if I've ever heard one.
	9:41pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @9:37 which is why it would be great ot get paid to actually to the exact correct time consuming work...cuz yeh, when its personal you have to tap out for sure
	9:42pm drowsy: shots fired.
	👻 9:42pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:41 I was thinking about making some 'zines where I write about it, and have links to the "restored" recordings. Seems like there might be an audience for it, if a small one, anyway.
	9:42pm drowsy: Sam Spade beef track coming in hot.
	👻 9:43pm Austin Rich: I heard Snoop might produce.
	👻 9:45pm Austin Rich: I smoked tobacco for FAR TOO LONG, and have now stopped for almost 10 years. But damn, I still think about cigarettes a LOT. Nicotine is a beast.
	9:47pm laurapanic: I feel her. Too often I have "poured tea for a slob in a fez"
	9:47pm drowsy: ↳ Austin Rich @9:45 YES - stay strong on that.
	👻 9:48pm Austin Rich: Apparently Jordan likes a slice of lemon in his tea. Interesting.
	9:48pm David The Splatter: ↳ Austin Rich @9:45 I've lost count of the number of times I have attempted to quit. But I keep trying.
	9:49pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:45 You can do it! I quit in 1991
	👻 9:49pm Austin Rich: ↳ David The Splatter @9:48 It reminds me of an Oswald 5-0 song, with the line, "We quit so many times we forgot how to begin." Keep trying. It took me a NUMBER of tries to quit in the end. But it finally took.
	👻 9:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:47 Yeah. I've never had any jobs like that, but I can only imagine how hard it might be to bite your tongue. Or not, which I would prefer.
	9:53pm David The Splatter: Did he say, "A word with your oddest friend."? 😂
	9:56pm laurapanic: WHO IS THIS AUSTRALIAN??
	👻 9:56pm Austin Rich: Lot of women with guns tonight. And in both our shows, our heroes have been knocked out. Synchronicity!
	9:56pm univac: Jeanie's got a gun!
	9:56pm Imaginos: ↳ laurapanic @9:56 Wrong time for Ned Kelly
	9:57pm univac: Hello, all!
	👻 9:57pm Austin Rich: ↳ univac @9:56 univac! Lovely to see you in the chat.
	👻 10:00pm yerfriendpaul: Yep, leaves falling here in Rockaway NJ
	10:00pm laurapanic: ↳ Imaginos @9:56 aaaah, our most famous outlaw!
	10:01pm David The Splatter: No leaves falling here in South FL. Damn.
	10:05pm wenzo: Ello ello
	10:05pm laurapanic: throws waaaay too much confetti and has party whistles** #partysalon
	👻 10:06pm David Shortell: Mike Dringenberg! The first artist to draw Neil Gaiman's Death (like most characters in "The Sandman", misrepresented in the Netflix series).
	10:08pm univac: You can find UBradio's 4th Sunday Players here:
	10:08pm univac: archive.org...
	10:10pm univac: The most popular Live-Streamed Semi-Scripted/Semi-Improv Absurd Sci-Fi Experimental Noise Radio Show in the 7 Galaxies.
	👻 10:11pm David Shortell: ↳ David Shortell @10:06 I just read the model for Death died 6 years ago: findagrave.com...
	10:12pm Imaginos: We're always glad to be here
	10:12pm univac: ↳ David Shortell @10:11 Sad. Mike's iteration of Death is sublime.
	👻 10:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:06 Mike drew the flyers for my shows with Mike Watt next month! He's been a good friend to Myself, and the Big City Orchestra family. wfmu.org...
	10:14pm David The Splatter: Thanks, Austin. I have to get going, but I'll catch the rest on the archives tomorrow.
	👻 10:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @10:13 (The Witch sort of has that "Death" look to her.)
	👻 10:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ David The Splatter @10:14 See ya next time, David!
	👻 10:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:12 I do enjoy these old shows. And it's even better with digital friends!
	10:15pm Imaginos: Gonna get some sleep
	👻 10:15pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:15 Sleep well! We'll see ya next time.
	10:15pm laurapanic: the "You must Remember This" podcast series on Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff is AMAZING
	10:15pm laurapanic: ↳ laurapanic @10:15 no really folks, if it is interesting to you, this is VITAL listening
	👻 10:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:15 Well, that show is AMAZING, in general. I really love her style of podcasting.
	👻 10:16pm yerfriendpaul: Is that the voice of Mr Hand?
	👻 10:17pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:15 Here's the show laurapanic and I are talking about. Corina Longworth is a really excellent researcher, and her style of storytelling is excellent. www.youmustrememberthispodcast.com
	👻 10:18pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Bela Lugosi: Hollywood's Dark Prince Part 1" by "... Is there any dramatic portrayal of Lugosi besides Martin Landau's in Tim Burton's "Ed Wood"?
	👻 10:19pm Austin Rich: I quite appreciate the Ray Walston interview clips in this documentary.
	👻 10:20pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ David Shortell @10:18 I loved Ed Wood. I haven’t seen it since it came out. I wonder if it still holds up
	👻 10:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:18 Not that I know of, but it would be VERY hard to top that one. That movie is possible perfection.
	👻 10:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ yerfriendpaul @10:20 It does. It's ridiculous and perfect.
	👻 10:20pm yerfriendpaul: I gotta watch it with my son. I bet he’d like it too
	👻 10:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ yerfriendpaul @10:20 Oh, yeah. If they are a teenager, it will go over like gangbusters.
	👻 10:21pm yerfriendpaul: Yes, he’s 20. Perfect age to appreciate that movie
	👻 10:23pm David Shortell: ↳ Austin Rich @10:19 I wasn't listening. What's Walston's connection to Bela?
	👻 10:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ yerfriendpaul @10:21 Yeah, I think I was around that age when it came out. I wanted to see it because some of the people who made it also worked on Heathers. I remember leaving that movie wanting to make cheap movies.
	👻 10:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:23 Ray Walston was one of the talking heads in that documentary, talking about knowing Bela.
	👻 10:26pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:15 At one point, I thought about running some of her commentary during "Dimestore Revelations," but her show is so good, I would feel weird about cutting up her work. But I do recommend it, as she talks about actors and directors that are relevant for fans of this show.
	👻 10:28pm David Shortell: ↳ Austin Rich @10:24 Ray Walston was an important source in Nick Tosches' biography "Dino" (having acted with Dean Martin in "Kiss Me, Stupid", the first film since "Baby Doll" to be condemned by the Catholic Legion of Decency).
	👻 10:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:28 I am a sucker for Ray's movies. His turn as, "Poopdeck Pappy" in Popeye hooked me as a fan, and I've loved him every since.
	👻 10:31pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:28 I'm also a sucker for Nick Tosches books, but I haven't read that one yet. I take it you liked it?
	👻 10:31pm David Shortell: ↳ Austin Rich @10:30 Both he and "Popeye" star Robin Williams became famous playing space aliens in TV sitcoms.
	👻 10:33pm Austin Rich: I was thinking about how radio shows featuring superheroes are sort of like early fanfiction. The people writing these stories had to be familiar with the comics, enough so they didn't anger fans, but creative enough to take advantage of radio, and the things those fans enjoy. A lot of radio writers dabbled in other print mediums, and I like the idea that if they couldn't sell the story to comics, that maybe it would work on radio?
	👻 10:33pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:31 Oh shit! I hadn't thought of that.
	👻 10:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: ""The Old Die Rich"" by "X-Minus One" This is a pretty weird, and creepy story. I like it, but it takes a few very strange turns that I did not see coming.
	10:36pm drowsy: I like x minus one!
	👻 10:37pm Austin Rich: ↳ drowsy @10:36 Yeah. This is probably my favorite Sci-Fi radio drama.
	👻 10:38pm David Shortell: ↳ Austin Rich @10:31 Yes. Nick plugged "Dino" on WFMU's greatest program, "Radio Hound". He spent a lot of time interviewing Jerry Lewis for the book. Nick lauded his candor, even if he thought Jerry was insane.
	👻 10:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:38 It's hard not to think that reading about his later life. If Jerry had a head on his shoulders, he seems to lose it as time went on.
	👻 10:42pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Austin Rich @10:24 Yes! It’s very inspiring!
	👻 10:48pm Austin Rich: I'm having a hard time remembering when the antagonist for an X-Minus One story was a woman. There have been plenty where the men have been down on women, or their wives. But it is rare that a woman is the primary "villain" in a very real way, for one of these stories. I'm sure the actor was excited to not just play another girlfriend of waitress.
	10:50pm Barno in Akron: How do you do, fellow kids?
	👻 10:50pm David Shortell: ↳ Austin Rich @10:33 Other media's adaptations of comics make me think of the phrase "the tail wags the dog". E.g., the Superman radio show invented Jimmy Olsen, Perry White and kryptonite. All that was then put into the comics. Likewise with the Fleischer Brothers' animated theatrical shorts. Not content with a Superman that merely leapt tall buildings in a single bound, they made him defy gravity. Later, Superman started flying in the comics. I understand that the 1978 movie's characters Eve Teschmacher (Valerie Perrine) and Otis (Ned Beatty) have also entered the comics.
	👻 10:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ Barno in Akron @10:50 Nice to see you in the chat, Barno!
	👻 10:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:50 I think you're right. This happens in fanfiction all the time, where stories that become popular in fan circles can occasionally become canon in future iterations of the property. I think Superman is particularly noticeable because we can see the progression across media, since so many people love that character. It's less obvious for people like The Blue Beetle.
	10:54pm Barno in Akron: ↳ Austin Rich @10:50 Just took a walk with m'lady.
	👻 10:54pm Austin Rich: Ha! What kind of fool would invest in uranium in the 30's? What a ma-roon!
	👻 10:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ Barno in Akron @10:54 Excellent.
	👻 10:58pm David Shortell: ↳ Austin Rich @10:52 That same kind of thing happened with Batman. Barbara Gordon and Harley Quinn were invented for TV, but became part of the comics canon.
	👻 10:59pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:58 Totally. I love that kind of stuff.
	👻 10:59pm Austin Rich: We'll go over by a few minutes.
	11:00pm Barno in Akron: ↳ Austin Rich @10:54 Hey man. I really enjoyed the Akron segment of Midvalley Mutations. What fun. I had never heard that WHLO song before. That station is within walking distance of my home. I was a big fan of the station and friends of the DJs there in the late 80s. I still have WHLO bumper stickers from that era.
	👻 11:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ Barno in Akron @11:00 Glad you liked it! Xeres programmed all of that, but I thought it was a great idea, certainly.
	11:02pm Barno in Akron: ↳ Austin Rich @11:01 my daughter sydnie and kreightoven are friends of Emma Shepard of Small Wood House, a band played that night. Syd is currently in a book club with Emma.
	👻 11:02pm yerfriendpaul: Good stuff, Austin! Thanks for the great show!
	11:02pm drowsy: That was good. Thank you Austin!
	👻 11:03pm David Shortell: I want to check out your s-f/comedy/musical radio program. Any links besides the one univac provided?
	👻 11:04pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @11:03 Here's another link, but it doesn't have everything. There's a few new ones not on the page yet: midvalleymutations.com...
	👻 11:05pm Austin Rich: ↳ Barno in Akron @11:02 Small world! Xeres has a lot of connections, all over!

	9:01pm Imaginos: 7 minutes to whomp!
	👻 9:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @8:58 Nice to see you in the chat, Imaginos! Sit down and stay a spell in the Digital Salon. Cigar? Cocktail?

	👻 9:10pm Austin Rich: Is that Gerald Mohr I hear?
	9:12pm Maulydaft: Austin do you happen to know any details about the timing/broadcasters of Rogue's Gallery and Philip Marlow? There must be SOME reason Gerald Mohr seems be on so many shows!
	9:12pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @9:09 hi Austin....wow that sounds super cool!
	👻 9:12pm Austin Rich: As you could hear, Gerald Mohr has a noticeable cold that he's fighting while he's working with other voice actors. You can even hear him cough ...
	👻 9:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @9:12 Good Question! I should look into that. I was just thinking that I might have to run Phillip Marlow after I'm done with all the Dick Powell shows.
	👻 9:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:12 laurapanic! Now the party in the Digital Salon can get started! Thanks for joining us.
	9:14pm Webhamster Henry: Rogue is still conscious!
	👻 9:15pm Austin Rich: I have probably mentioned this before, but I'll be missing shows on October 21st and October 28th. Miss Mei will fill in on the 21st. We're still trying to figure out what will happen on the 28th. But I am missing those shows for some VERY cool reasons... wfmu.org...
	👻 9:15pm Austin Rich: ↳ Webhamster Henry @9:14 It happens, occasionally.
	9:15pm Maulydaft: ↳ Austin Rich @9:13 I would encourage it :D I'm close to finishing my 4th listen! Oh! This woman was on Philip Marlowe shows a lot too!
	9:15pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @9:13 woohooo! I'll have to block out my work calendar for the 4hr shows. "International Online Networking Session". That works, yeh?
	👻 9:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @9:15 I love those Marlowe shows. I think it's one of my faves, but I think I've said that on the show a NUMBER of times.
	9:16pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @9:15 well, ok, then I'll allow it for that cool as fuck outing
	👻 9:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:15 But of course? If we mention ONE work related thing, that makes it an official work meeting, right?
	👻 9:17pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:16 I still can't believe it is happening. I've probably been rehearsing a LITTLE more than usual, perhaps?
	👻 9:17pm Austin Rich: There he goes!
	9:18pm Maulydaft: it blows my mind that even in 1946 traffic was nuts :o
	9:18pm Maulydaft: I wonder if folks got tired of Eugor in 1946? I sure am LOL!
	👻 9:18pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @9:18 I was gonna comment on that! When, exactly, was it "great" to drive and park in California?
	9:21pm wenzo: Howdee howdee!
	9:22pm Maulydaft: hhhhhaaaaaa!
	9:22pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:18 In the 80s Missing Persons had a song called Walking in LA where they said nobody walks in LA
	👻 9:23pm yerfriendpaul: Wow! What a colossal flub! Holy Christ! Ha ha
	9:23pm Maulydaft: Whoah yeah this is his worst eh? Flubbs galore!
	👻 9:24pm Austin Rich: Wenzo! Nice to see you in the chat.
	👻 9:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:22 I remember that song.
	👻 9:24pm Austin Rich: Listen to Gerald do his lines with a cold!
	9:25pm Maulydaft: I wonder if Powell was just over confident? He was a film star, after all, and most of the other actors weren't.
	9:25pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @9:17 its so exciting, I hope its a bunch of fun and fills your creative bucket
	👻 9:25pm Austin Rich: ↳ Maulydaft @9:23 Yeah. This seems like recorded evidence that he was a little checked out for this show. Maybe just this episode, but... something else was on his mind this day.
	👻 9:26pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:25 It'll be fun, for sure. I just want to make sure I have all my chops at my disposal. I've seen him play a few times. It's always fun.
	👻 9:28pm Austin Rich: Flubs his lines, sexist... yeah, he's hard to love.
	👻 9:29pm Austin Rich: I know I've talked about this before, but as you start to piece together Rogue's personality, he is a TERRIBLE person. I might love Dick Powell as a performer, but Rogue is a pretty awful person.
	👻 9:29pm Austin Rich: The Dick Powell movie that the announcer was talking about. en.wikipedia.org...
	9:29pm drowsy: A Fez? Let's GOOOO.
	👻 9:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ drowsy @9:29 Yeah. You know you're having a good time in a Fez! Thanks for dropping by the Digital Salon, drowsy!
	👻 9:33pm Austin Rich: While it was hopefully not noticeable, the original archived version of that episode of Rogue's Gallery was at the wrong speed. In addition to my usual clean-up for that episode, I had to change the speed to make it sound normal. (It was archived at a slower, much more noticable speed. But I couldn't find anyone online who had tried to fix it yet. Hopefully it sounded "normal," which was the goal.)
	9:34pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @9:33 surely there is some fancy archival job that needs you to use these amazing skills and knowledge
	9:35pm Imaginos: Night or knight? Lol
	👻 9:35pm Austin Rich: On the subject of restoration: I did my usual "clean up" on this Rocky Jordan, too. There were a few spots that had too much background noise, and I did my best to clean it up without ruining the rest of the sound.
	👻 9:37pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:34 I wonder? I do find it sort of soothing to get very detail-oriented on that kind of project. I could probably spend a lot more time on all of this, but I have to tap out after a point. I could spend forever on some.
	👻 9:38pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @9:35 So much pun-tential.
	9:39pm drowsy: ↳ Austin Rich @9:35 v cool.
	9:41pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:38 Indeed
	👻 9:41pm Austin Rich: "I'm not so bad to wait with." That's a 1949 line if I've ever heard one.
	9:41pm laurapanic: ↳ Austin Rich @9:37 which is why it would be great ot get paid to actually to the exact correct time consuming work...cuz yeh, when its personal you have to tap out for sure
	9:42pm drowsy: shots fired.
	👻 9:42pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:41 I was thinking about making some 'zines where I write about it, and have links to the "restored" recordings. Seems like there might be an audience for it, if a small one, anyway.
	9:42pm drowsy: Sam Spade beef track coming in hot.
	👻 9:43pm Austin Rich: I heard Snoop might produce.
	👻 9:45pm Austin Rich: I smoked tobacco for FAR TOO LONG, and have now stopped for almost 10 years. But damn, I still think about cigarettes a LOT. Nicotine is a beast.
	9:47pm laurapanic: I feel her. Too often I have "poured tea for a slob in a fez"
	9:47pm drowsy: ↳ Austin Rich @9:45 YES - stay strong on that.
	👻 9:48pm Austin Rich: Apparently Jordan likes a slice of lemon in his tea. Interesting.
	9:48pm David The Splatter: ↳ Austin Rich @9:45 I've lost count of the number of times I have attempted to quit. But I keep trying.
	9:49pm Imaginos: ↳ Austin Rich @9:45 You can do it! I quit in 1991
	👻 9:49pm Austin Rich: ↳ David The Splatter @9:48 It reminds me of an Oswald 5-0 song, with the line, "We quit so many times we forgot how to begin." Keep trying. It took me a NUMBER of tries to quit in the end. But it finally took.
	👻 9:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @9:47 Yeah. I've never had any jobs like that, but I can only imagine how hard it might be to bite your tongue. Or not, which I would prefer.
	9:53pm David The Splatter: Did he say, "A word with your oddest friend."? 😂
	9:56pm laurapanic: WHO IS THIS AUSTRALIAN??
	👻 9:56pm Austin Rich: Lot of women with guns tonight. And in both our shows, our heroes have been knocked out. Synchronicity!
	9:56pm univac: Jeanie's got a gun!
	9:56pm Imaginos: ↳ laurapanic @9:56 Wrong time for Ned Kelly
	9:57pm univac: Hello, all!
	👻 9:57pm Austin Rich: ↳ univac @9:56 univac! Lovely to see you in the chat.
	👻 10:00pm yerfriendpaul: Yep, leaves falling here in Rockaway NJ
	10:00pm laurapanic: ↳ Imaginos @9:56 aaaah, our most famous outlaw!
	10:01pm David The Splatter: No leaves falling here in South FL. Damn.
	10:05pm wenzo: Ello ello
	10:05pm laurapanic: throws waaaay too much confetti and has party whistles** #partysalon
	👻 10:06pm David Shortell: Mike Dringenberg! The first artist to draw Neil Gaiman's Death (like most characters in "The Sandman", misrepresented in the Netflix series).
	10:08pm univac: You can find UBradio's 4th Sunday Players here:
	10:08pm univac: archive.org...
	10:10pm univac: The most popular Live-Streamed Semi-Scripted/Semi-Improv Absurd Sci-Fi Experimental Noise Radio Show in the 7 Galaxies.
	👻 10:11pm David Shortell: ↳ David Shortell @10:06 I just read the model for Death died 6 years ago: findagrave.com...
	10:12pm Imaginos: We're always glad to be here
	10:12pm univac: ↳ David Shortell @10:11 Sad. Mike's iteration of Death is sublime.
	👻 10:13pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:06 Mike drew the flyers for my shows with Mike Watt next month! He's been a good friend to Myself, and the Big City Orchestra family. wfmu.org...
	10:14pm David The Splatter: Thanks, Austin. I have to get going, but I'll catch the rest on the archives tomorrow.
	👻 10:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ Austin Rich @10:13 (The Witch sort of has that "Death" look to her.)
	👻 10:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ David The Splatter @10:14 See ya next time, David!
	👻 10:14pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:12 I do enjoy these old shows. And it's even better with digital friends!
	10:15pm Imaginos: Gonna get some sleep
	👻 10:15pm Austin Rich: ↳ Imaginos @10:15 Sleep well! We'll see ya next time.
	10:15pm laurapanic: the "You must Remember This" podcast series on Bela Lugosi and Boris Karloff is AMAZING
	10:15pm laurapanic: ↳ laurapanic @10:15 no really folks, if it is interesting to you, this is VITAL listening
	👻 10:16pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:15 Well, that show is AMAZING, in general. I really love her style of podcasting.
	👻 10:16pm yerfriendpaul: Is that the voice of Mr Hand?
	👻 10:17pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:15 Here's the show laurapanic and I are talking about. Corina Longworth is a really excellent researcher, and her style of storytelling is excellent. www.youmustrememberthispodcast.com
	👻 10:18pm David Shortell: ↳ Song: "Bela Lugosi: Hollywood's Dark Prince Part 1" by "... Is there any dramatic portrayal of Lugosi besides Martin Landau's in Tim Burton's "Ed Wood"?
	👻 10:19pm Austin Rich: I quite appreciate the Ray Walston interview clips in this documentary.
	👻 10:20pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ David Shortell @10:18 I loved Ed Wood. I haven’t seen it since it came out. I wonder if it still holds up
	👻 10:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:18 Not that I know of, but it would be VERY hard to top that one. That movie is possible perfection.
	👻 10:20pm Austin Rich: ↳ yerfriendpaul @10:20 It does. It's ridiculous and perfect.
	👻 10:20pm yerfriendpaul: I gotta watch it with my son. I bet he’d like it too
	👻 10:21pm Austin Rich: ↳ yerfriendpaul @10:20 Oh, yeah. If they are a teenager, it will go over like gangbusters.
	👻 10:21pm yerfriendpaul: Yes, he’s 20. Perfect age to appreciate that movie
	👻 10:23pm David Shortell: ↳ Austin Rich @10:19 I wasn't listening. What's Walston's connection to Bela?
	👻 10:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ yerfriendpaul @10:21 Yeah, I think I was around that age when it came out. I wanted to see it because some of the people who made it also worked on Heathers. I remember leaving that movie wanting to make cheap movies.
	👻 10:24pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:23 Ray Walston was one of the talking heads in that documentary, talking about knowing Bela.
	👻 10:26pm Austin Rich: ↳ laurapanic @10:15 At one point, I thought about running some of her commentary during "Dimestore Revelations," but her show is so good, I would feel weird about cutting up her work. But I do recommend it, as she talks about actors and directors that are relevant for fans of this show.
	👻 10:28pm David Shortell: ↳ Austin Rich @10:24 Ray Walston was an important source in Nick Tosches' biography "Dino" (having acted with Dean Martin in "Kiss Me, Stupid", the first film since "Baby Doll" to be condemned by the Catholic Legion of Decency).
	👻 10:30pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:28 I am a sucker for Ray's movies. His turn as, "Poopdeck Pappy" in Popeye hooked me as a fan, and I've loved him every since.
	👻 10:31pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:28 I'm also a sucker for Nick Tosches books, but I haven't read that one yet. I take it you liked it?
	👻 10:31pm David Shortell: ↳ Austin Rich @10:30 Both he and "Popeye" star Robin Williams became famous playing space aliens in TV sitcoms.
	👻 10:33pm Austin Rich: I was thinking about how radio shows featuring superheroes are sort of like early fanfiction. The people writing these stories had to be familiar with the comics, enough so they didn't anger fans, but creative enough to take advantage of radio, and the things those fans enjoy. A lot of radio writers dabbled in other print mediums, and I like the idea that if they couldn't sell the story to comics, that maybe it would work on radio?
	👻 10:33pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:31 Oh shit! I hadn't thought of that.
	👻 10:36pm Austin Rich: ↳ Song: ""The Old Die Rich"" by "X-Minus One" This is a pretty weird, and creepy story. I like it, but it takes a few very strange turns that I did not see coming.
	10:36pm drowsy: I like x minus one!
	👻 10:37pm Austin Rich: ↳ drowsy @10:36 Yeah. This is probably my favorite Sci-Fi radio drama.
	👻 10:38pm David Shortell: ↳ Austin Rich @10:31 Yes. Nick plugged "Dino" on WFMU's greatest program, "Radio Hound". He spent a lot of time interviewing Jerry Lewis for the book. Nick lauded his candor, even if he thought Jerry was insane.
	👻 10:39pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:38 It's hard not to think that reading about his later life. If Jerry had a head on his shoulders, he seems to lose it as time went on.
	👻 10:42pm yerfriendpaul: ↳ Austin Rich @10:24 Yes! It’s very inspiring!
	👻 10:48pm Austin Rich: I'm having a hard time remembering when the antagonist for an X-Minus One story was a woman. There have been plenty where the men have been down on women, or their wives. But it is rare that a woman is the primary "villain" in a very real way, for one of these stories. I'm sure the actor was excited to not just play another girlfriend of waitress.
	10:50pm Barno in Akron: How do you do, fellow kids?
	👻 10:50pm David Shortell: ↳ Austin Rich @10:33 Other media's adaptations of comics make me think of the phrase "the tail wags the dog". E.g., the Superman radio show invented Jimmy Olsen, Perry White and kryptonite. All that was then put into the comics. Likewise with the Fleischer Brothers' animated theatrical shorts. Not content with a Superman that merely leapt tall buildings in a single bound, they made him defy gravity. Later, Superman started flying in the comics. I understand that the 1978 movie's characters Eve Teschmacher (Valerie Perrine) and Otis (Ned Beatty) have also entered the comics.
	👻 10:50pm Austin Rich: ↳ Barno in Akron @10:50 Nice to see you in the chat, Barno!
	👻 10:52pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:50 I think you're right. This happens in fanfiction all the time, where stories that become popular in fan circles can occasionally become canon in future iterations of the property. I think Superman is particularly noticeable because we can see the progression across media, since so many people love that character. It's less obvious for people like The Blue Beetle.
	10:54pm Barno in Akron: ↳ Austin Rich @10:50 Just took a walk with m'lady.
	👻 10:54pm Austin Rich: Ha! What kind of fool would invest in uranium in the 30's? What a ma-roon!
	👻 10:54pm Austin Rich: ↳ Barno in Akron @10:54 Excellent.
	👻 10:58pm David Shortell: ↳ Austin Rich @10:52 That same kind of thing happened with Batman. Barbara Gordon and Harley Quinn were invented for TV, but became part of the comics canon.
	👻 10:59pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @10:58 Totally. I love that kind of stuff.
	👻 10:59pm Austin Rich: We'll go over by a few minutes.
	11:00pm Barno in Akron: ↳ Austin Rich @10:54 Hey man. I really enjoyed the Akron segment of Midvalley Mutations. What fun. I had never heard that WHLO song before. That station is within walking distance of my home. I was a big fan of the station and friends of the DJs there in the late 80s. I still have WHLO bumper stickers from that era.
	👻 11:01pm Austin Rich: ↳ Barno in Akron @11:00 Glad you liked it! Xeres programmed all of that, but I thought it was a great idea, certainly.
	11:02pm Barno in Akron: ↳ Austin Rich @11:01 my daughter sydnie and kreightoven are friends of Emma Shepard of Small Wood House, a band played that night. Syd is currently in a book club with Emma.
	👻 11:02pm yerfriendpaul: Good stuff, Austin! Thanks for the great show!
	11:02pm drowsy: That was good. Thank you Austin!
	👻 11:03pm David Shortell: I want to check out your s-f/comedy/musical radio program. Any links besides the one univac provided?
	👻 11:04pm Austin Rich: ↳ David Shortell @11:03 Here's another link, but it doesn't have everything. There's a few new ones not on the page yet: midvalleymutations.com...
	👻 11:05pm Austin Rich: ↳ Barno in Akron @11:02 Small world! Xeres has a lot of connections, all over!
