I think I mentioned a long time ago that there were a small handful of your earlier Silver Age episodes that were missing coverage of stories. This is one of them, as "The Most Amazing Camera in the World" (SPJO #34, story 3) doesn't appear anywhere in the episode. As this episode is from before you started doing single-issue episodes and is quite long, I can imagine that this just got lost in the editing shuffle. I don't know if you keep your scripts (for 5+ years!) or have any desire to re-record and splice in coverage of that story, but I just thought I'd let you know. This story does reappear in SPJO #131, so you will eventually get to it in one of your last few Silver Age episodes, regardless.
ReplyDeleteSorry I don't comment on episodes as they come out; I am perpetually behind on my podcast listening. Thanks for agreeing to take the time to sync up your coverage of the main books with the Family books; it's much appreciated. I continue to enjoy your show.
