Show Description
Shep has trouble with his earphones say his pair came from a Disc Jockey kit for kids. Mentions being on Barry Farber that night. Disc Jockey kit for kids Trends of disbelief, letter to Shep doubting he went to Peru. He reads the letter. People think I go to libraries read up on countries and do shows on them. "creeping showbizisms" Football season, cheerleading, remote broadcasts to and from empty stadiums. Newspaper strike - who misses the papers? Fairy tales on TV, panel shows. The era of true escape fiction. We're moving further from reality. Selling products - "the new improved…", "secret ingredient" Because of the newspaper strike Shep has to read Red Smiths column about the Milwaukee Braves moving. Peru, Incan Ruins - Shep finishes up recounting the trip he took to the Amazon and had talked about in the previos few shows.
