Seemed too be another station on frequency with a moaning sound during the interval signal. Off with the introduction to the broadcast. S3 with noise here.



Thank you for the broadcast tonight.

Stepping on WANK just as he was set to beat the two hour "Grandma Got Ran Over By A Reindeer." Challenge. You should be ashamed. Christmas comes but once a year and you ruined it for pirate listeners
everywhere. You could have taken up the dare, but you were too lily-livered to give it a try.
