Steven Baum at [Ethel the Blog](http://stommel.tamu.edu/~baum/ethel/blogger.html) is my new hero. He uncovered a company that sells CDs jam-packed with old-time radio shows, such as 220 episodes of the wonderful [Goon Show](http://members.xoom.com/_XMCM/TradeMarks/GoonShow.html) on two CDs for only $35. Fantastic! In college, I produced (with much help from my friends) a live weekly radio drama show. Over four years we did _Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy_ , my own adaptation of _The Hobbit_ , the BBC's _Lord of the Rings_ , _Firesign Theater_ , and _The Goon Show_. All of them were great fun, but I really enjoyed being a Goon. I took Peter Seller's parts and had a blast. I found a few scripts via interlibrary loan, and a British professor in the Math Department had his family send tapes from England for us to listen to. And now, for $35, I can have them all. I'm overjoyed! Thanks, Steven.
