Also: A listener asked me recently to edit out portions of episodes in which I mention the listener, and suggested I then re-post the shows - something that's virtually impossible to accomplish without making a total hash of the feed. I'd like your thoughts - should I leave the shows as they are, or take those shows down completely? Use the email button on the right side of this page to send me your thoughts, send an audio file, or call the Murphy's Saloon comment line: 312-239-0678. Remember, if you write or call, your comments may be read or played as part of a future Murphy's Saloon episode.
