"Quiet Please: The Thing On The Fourble Board" - The story of a man who discovered a creature from the depths of the earth which climbed up through an oil well. A radio classic from September 18, 1948. / "Monty Python's Flying Circus: The Buzz Aldrin Show" - Skits: Gumby Announcement, Architects Sketch, How to Recognise a Mason, Anti-Masonic Therapy (Cartoon), Insurance Sketch, The Bishop, Living Room on Pavement, Poets, An Interview with a Nude Man, The Five Frog Curse (Cartoon), Chemist Sketch, A Less Naughty Chemist. / "The Audio Artist: AM Radio"."
The Monty Python "movie" on episode 429 isn't ACTUALLY the movie audio, but instead it's the soundtrack album to "The Meaning of Life", which contains mostly audio FROM the film. The "Audio Artist" is another of the short segments I created loosely based on the old USA Network "Night Flight" segment "The Video Artist" which featured avant-garde short films, this segment features an annoying few minutes of me crunching celery into a microphone.
Episode 430 featured a classic radio show from 1948, a classic "Monty Python's Flying Circus" episode from 1970, and another short "Audio Artist" segment. The segment included in this episode isn't quite as annoying as the one in the previous episode, since it's just audio of me manually going up and down the local AM band radio dial. There were a couple more AM stations in the area back then than today. Haven't tuned into AM in ages, but I think we are down to TWO stations on that bandwidth today, consisting of mainly conservative radio blather. Fun Fact: A "fourble board" is a platform at a height of 80 feet or more above the floor of an oil derrick.
