Let Me Take You Down the Corridors of My Life: Transmission 463, 2019 May 1

I must admit that I've been looking through my social media timelines for clues as to what was happening at the time these old programs were aired. It's been so long, and we seem to have passed through so many worlds, that I have reached a new order of magnitude of not-remembering, if that even makes sense. (Apologies, I am on my second vodka-and-Pompelmo as I write this.) Anyway, I must not have been doing much on social media at around this time. And it's just as well. Do you remember when Facebook and Twitter were fun? Or am I just hallucinating? At any rate it has been a crazy couple of months, I have been extremely offline, and I have little idea what is going on in the world.

This program is from a different era, and it begins a bit low-key. It gets going eventually, and I admit that I like where it goes. But it sounds foreign to me, for long stretches. How things have changed. This warrants an explanation, and I will try to provide it, by and by. But for now, try to live with the sounds.
