Thanks to Jim for pointing me to this thread, I've been out all day babysitting and hadn't seen it. It's gratifying to read that my article is on the otterproject website for all to see. There are a couple of errors to correct and perhaps a comment or two that could have been deleted but as far I know it's as accurate as I could make it.

ORCA mentioned a couple of episode introductions that I'd reversed, but it's minor stuff.

I also originated for many of the mp3 shows that are doing the rounds on sale, I made them a while ago to swap with fellow fans but of course somebody's sold them on.

If you're looking for old time radio, you don't have to buy CDs from America.

If you join Yahoo groups and search on old time radio there's at least one group that issues distros of shows on CD or DVD. Someone in the group prepares a series of shows on CD and offers it to the group. Members say they either want or don't want that particular CD. The administrator starts the distribution by making a list of members who want it, the CD is posted to the first. He copies it and sends the original disc to the second person, and so on, until it reaches the librarian. Old distro CDs can be obtained from him. It's all free other than costs of postage and blank CDs.

My original mp3s were added to by others and a 2-CD distro of LWTL was circulated some time ago.

A member is working on a Jimmy Clitheroe distribution at the moment, so far there's 130 episodes, but I may have a few more to add.

The URL for the OTR groups is groups.yahoo.com/search?q...&sg=0&ss=1

There are lots of groups to choose from and all have similar aims, and I see the otter project is listed on page 1.

The group I belong to is otrcdme-omega, and has two branches, Canada and UK. There may be other international branches. The main rule is - You must not sell the CDs.

Anybody wants to discuss the group etc, pleae contact me at the address on the otterproject article, not this Whirlygig address which is obsolete and I can't see how to change it.

Cheers
Phil
