Retrogram #2130: This & That Episode

The week of July 26th, 2021: Commander Koenig and Dr. Russell sound completely different.  Travis sounds the same (but which one?).  Kolchak is about to be clearer than ever.  Moonbase Alpha’s Eagles and little color TVs are getting smaller.  It’s a very different kind of Retrogram.  (35:58) Right-click here and “save as” to download the podcast to something that hopefully has a better speaker than those tiny TV things.
