Close Your Eyes And Make Believe You Can Do Whatever You Please: Transmission 150, 2014 September 9

Milestones: what are they? I remember wondering, in the beginning, whether this program would make it to episode 10. Here we are, at a robust 150, not feeling or looking a day older than 149. I thought I would try a new thing, that being a cassette, and where better to start than the excellent Meridians 2?

Were there glitches? Of course. Adventures in pronunciation? You betcha. Radio magic Cheating? HELL YES. This is a weird, wonderful episode, probably not the kind that boosts my credibility with the kids, but #YOLO.
