Welcome to ORly Radio Show 79 for Friday October 2nd, 2015 - where we dismantle the current events for your edutainment through mostly rational conversations that make you go ‘Oh Really’! I’m your host Andy Cowen with my usual suspect Michael and Ophelia Falls.

Errata From Last Week: We make mistakes. Please, if you find one, pause the podcast, and send us a note. orlyradiopodcast@gmail.com or phone it in 470-222-6759  

Due to some crazy echo issues last week, many of the listeners had slightly less patience than we did and stopped listening before we switched to an alternate microphone.  It doesn’t sound as good but it doesn’t have that horrible echo. Persevere until 7m30s and you will have an alright time. Sorry about that.

Also, there seems to be something wrong with the Patreon page, that lovely site that helps independent media creators like us take donations to fund these little endeavors. I will be working on getting that repaired. If you are desperate to help out the show, word of mouth and positive reviews on iTunes, Spreaker, Stitcher and Likes on YouTube are the best way.
