A Portion Has Distortion

Cripes.  Here we go again -- we've experienced technical difficulties with our switchover to a new recording interface.  Somehow, somewhere, the signal got distorted to hell and back.  I'm pretty hanked off about it, and will probably remove this podcast sometime soon; but you, the public, deserve to know the truth... or hear Larry's dad jokes, as the case may be.  So, listen.  Or don't.  I couldn't say I blame you.
