A new set begins: Peter in Bryant Park
A new set begins: Trump and the Baby - Audio courtesy of AP
Comment: I lean a little too heavily on soundbytes during this episode. I was a little short on interview material.

A new set begins: Gold Star Father, Khizr Khan, at the DNC. Audio courtesy of ABC 15 Arizona.
A new set begins: Shy Woman in Grand Central Station

Comment: Danish envy. I sometimes imagine living there. Never been. My family has some Danish heritage.
A new set begins: Deepak Chopra from FOX Radio
A new set begins: Jason is Leaning Trump
A new set begins: Trump Gets A Purple Heart - Audio: CNN
Comment: I rather unfairly edited out the last part of the 'Purple Heart' audio clip in which Donald Trump introduces the soldier that gave it to him to the audience. Would have painted him in a more positive light.
A new set begins: Jennifer Chimes In
A new set begins: Senator Lindsay Graham (SC) on CNN
A new set begins: President Obama Calls Trump Unfit for Office. Audio courtesy of whitehouse.gov.
A new set begins: Peter and Joe in Bryant Square Park

A new set begins: A Call From Peter Seymour - A Random Caller
Comment: As is often the case, I was totally sleep-deprived during this show. I stayed awake until 8am the night before, putting things together, editing songs and interviews. Then off to the day job. So, by the time I get to WFMU, sometimes I am delerious.
Comment: Was my asking the blind man about his dreams out of line? And the Kenneth Jernigan reference. I might have offended him. And I made such a THING out of his blindness. I allowed it to DEFINE him. which was very unfair. I am always learning, but awfully late, in this instance. I am an a-whole, often.

Orichalcum The Curse of Uqbhar
A new set begins: David calls in from the Bronx
A new set begins: Makin' Love to Horse With No Name!

Chase Open Up Wide Chase
A new set begins: Aaron In Minneapolis Calls In - I Believe Aaron uses a keyboard to communicate. I handled it so poorly. Again, my weak-brained condition. How nice of Aaron to call and invite me to Minneapolis. THANK YOU Aaron. I would love to have brunch with you.
A new set begins: Last Minute Bernie-Person-Feminist - REALLY smart and I did not acknowledge that enough. I was trying to wrangle Hearty's Show and wrap things up.
Comment: I really enjoyed putting this show together, though I was at a rather low-energy ebb throughout the process. I originally intended to record the show outside in Union Square PArk after work on Wednesday, but it was windy, so I needed to record inside. I headed to LOUD Grand Central Station. I only ended up getting six interviews between 7:00PM and 8:30PM on 8/3/16. I was able to split one in half and bookend it at the beginning and end of the show. I also added lots of soundbytes to pad the program. I edited all songs to a target range of 2 minutes and 30 seconds. BEyond that, listeners lose focus and so do I. Thanks to those who called at the end of the show. I am still trying to learn to be a better listener. Often, I am anxious to 'speed things along' as I only have an hour and I am used to editing the sheet rock out of things to cram in as much as is humanly possible for your entertainment dollar. Did I make mistakes on this show. Oh, yes. Moral decisions which were questionable. Was someone a bit tipsy? Probably. But I liked him, and he was interesting and did not shame himself. I harangued the blind man a bit too much, and even now I am calling him The Blind Man. Stop that, Clay. How else can I punsih myself. I sang too much, and badly, and off cue. I would give this show a B, though I really dod enjoy it, as I do all of then, because of YOU and the fact that you listen. Thank you for that. Sincerely. After all these years, this has become more than a hobby to me. I do wor hard for this hour of radio. I'll say that for myself. I hope yoiu aren;t too bored with the politics. I got some 'bored' mail this week. Someone saying play more music and my politcis and interviews are boring. It hurts a bit, maybe because it's kind of true. But you know what. F--k it. I'm doing it anyway! Because I can. Thank you to William Zeuthen in Denmark. He likes it! Thanks to all of you for being here. I can't imagine more than one or two of you ever reads this stuff! Take care until next time, make the summer count, and always remember. CPNYC81699
