Arnie Winrob helped us out with that. He ran a car rental place (he used 
to walk around saying "Hi!  This is Ken Chan for Big O Tires!") and had 
been involved in the Luxe Radio Plays, usually as a musician. Arnie 
showed up one day with an unclaimed collection of The Columbia School 
of Broadcasting records that had been left in the trunk of a rented car.

	FRANK: Say Bob. Why is your voice so low and 
	mellow, and why are you able to talk for so long 
	without breathing.  

	BOB: That's because of rubber band breathing, 
	Frank.

	FRANK: Gee Bob, I've never heard of rubber 
	band breathing. What is it?

That's what the records were like. We played them on the air sometimes 
as a means of using radio to poke fun at itself and gradually, 
unconsciously, whether we liked it or not, our radio voices changed 
because of this exposure.

After a few weeks the station changed our time slot to Saturday 
evenings and the length of the show went from a half hour to an hour 
and a half. In fact, because it was the last show in the evening it was 
open ended and bands would come in, poets, or visiting artists and we'd 
open the phone lines.
