During my announcement at the beginning of episode 426, I briefly slipped up and called the album "Daryl Hall and John Oates Maneater", instead of "H2O".
Episode 427 was a "double feature" of the audio from two episodes of the HBO series "Not Necessarily The News", which was the American version of the British news parody series "Not The Nine O'Clock News". As with the TRS "airings" of the audio from "The Benny Hill Show", only SOME of the humor translates, since there was a lot of visual humor in the series.
As you can see, I was using "quality" blank cassettes at the time! (/sarcasm)
