Episode 9: Dan Telfer

ETA: My apologies to my friend Mont Chris Hubbard, who composed and performed the incidental music used in this episode — I’ve always credited him on-air when using his music, but this time I plumb forgot.  Here’s a link to Chris’s website and here’s where you can buy recordings of the Permutations of 88 series.
