Here we are – the 2nd Annual Live Broadcast.

I should have known that something would happen. The show actually went off pretty well. I discovered after the show that the audio from my microphone wasn't really coming through well on the broadcast. What actually happens is that when the show is over, I have the option to download it, and post it like a regular episode – and THAT is when I heard the audio anomaly. Fortunately, I made a local recording WHILE I was broadcasting live (that's something I learned to do from my years in radio...long ago). I have taken the GOOD audio, and have married it with the rest of the file that I downloaded of the live broadcast.

Please enjoy the show!

This week marks a milestone in the podcast...a couple actually!

It is the 2nd anniversary of the show, and the 90th episode.

It was due to be live, but it is not.

I will endeavour to get that live thing happening soon – but what you'll here today is an unedited “live-to-tape” show. I'm going to call it the “Pseudo-Live Triple-Threat”. I'll be looking at a few of the subjects from my Canada T-Shirt, and a couple of other things.

Today – something new.

Today – an experiment.

Today – I am telling you a story.

I've been working on this for a while, and due to the electronic/computer issues I have been having lately, it is time. It expands a bit on what I did last with with The Halifax Explosion.

Canada, as I see it is still a thing. In fact, I will be back next week, with a new episode.

This week, I present to you: Theatre, as you hear it.

Radio drama, that let's YOU create the picture in your mind.

There will be more episodes of this – when I can get them completed. I have a few in various levels of “completedness”.

This episode fits in with the darker, and spookier season. Considering the time change in North America this week, we'll have a little bit more darkness, as the day moves on!

Please enjoy today's submission for your approval.
