Artificial Radio Hour with Rev. Dr. Dr. Phill: Artificial Radio Hour with Rev. Dr. Dr. Phill Part 26

Hello again!

The podcast went a bit over schedule but I put that on me. There are a heck of a lot of editing in this one, it took a while to come together.

Toronto's Shaw-Han Liem, aka i am robot and proud, starts it out, but right away you might be aware of the "special sauce" that's drizzled all over this episode: it's The Conet Project's recordings of Short Wave "Numbers Stations". These mysterious broadcasts, mostly coming from Europe, are presumably some kind of encrypted messages & spycraft so governments don't want to officially admit they exist. Spooky!

I heard the episode of the memory palace (hmm, more intentional lower-case) called "Numbers" that was about the 1969 televised draft lottery, but I only used a couple of seconds of Nate DiMeo (the memory palace host & creator) talking at the beginning, and instead used audio from a YouTube video of the CBS News segment. The Norelco ad aired in the middle of it, if you're wondering where that came from.

A lot of this episode's music is sort of dreamy, atmospheric stuff, often edited for length & also if there were any vocals I cut them out. I'm pretty proud of some of these edits actually, the Stereolab song had almost three minutes of vocals in the middle of it but I was able to join the beginning and end of that tune pretty seamlessly I think.

The music behind the Nick Kroll & John Mulaney interview segment is a recording of Judee Sill from a televised BBC concert. It was recorded by a mic held up to a TV speaker (in 1972), which is why it's so hissy. It was adjusted to make it more listenable, and then I adjusted it more because I wanted it in the background. I got it from Bob Claster's Judee Sill site. It's pretty great.

Oh, Hello! (Nick Kroll & John Mulaney's Broadway show) is fantastic, and is on Netflix. You should watch it.

Last note, I don't know who the Dellwoods were, but that song is from the album "Fink Along With MAD", from the usual gang of idiots.

Talk to you folks next time!

Enjoy!
