    Excellent show. Look forward to each episode.

    Can someone sort out the sound levels. Can barely hear the conversation sometimes then it goes to an ad break and that sound level nearly bursts my eardrums!

Q: Up until Walter's death, did he still work to push out of you for that interview?
No, I couldn't. The interview took a while to explain the whole story.
