Our Intro and Outro Music is Funky Radio, from Jet Grind Radio on the Sega Dreamcast, composed by BB Rights. 

Produced [for the first time in almost three years, and so far as I can tell, the last time ever] using GarageBand in macOS (with a teeny, tiny assist from Audacity) using the Audio Technica AT2020 XLR condenser mic and the M-Audio MobilePre XLR-to-USB interface, and deliberately using circa 2019-caliber production techniques. 

You can also find all of our audio episodes on Archive.org as well as the occasional additional release only available there, such as remixes of previous releases and other content. 

Our YouTube Channel, for the time being is in dormancy, but will be returning with content, hopefully, in 2022. Meanwhile, all the old stuff is still there, and can be found here:
