While this episode features a discussion on the life and works of synthesizer and electronic music pioneer Dr. Robert Moog (1934-2005), its focus is really just classic silliness. We introduce a few technical advances, audition some theme music options, introduce our first mailbag segment and t-shirt contest and, at the frantic request of a listener, we also address the plight of the Naperville Carillon. As if that's not enough, we also experience our first technical problems.
