The biggest problem we encountered with the changeover from 
afternoons to evenings was keeping straight until the show ended. 
Although we were unbelievably broke all the time we lived what, 
looking back on it now, was an extremely social life style. Friends were 
showing up constantly from Vancouver or out of town on the day of the 
show and  get incorporated into the production.14 We kept our ears open 
all week for material that would be useful. And broadcast day was 
intense with preparation from early morning until it was time to go on 
the air. 15 There was always a box of sound effects including a large 
wooden box with various small doors, latches, door bells and door 
buzzers on it, and a box of records and tapes, which we'd pack up on our 
bicycles and peddle with to the studio. Many times small audiences 
would be in the studio with us, but somehow we usually maintained 
sobriety until we got off the air.  

Content varied a lot, but as in any art form the medium itself provided 
a lot of material to work with. There was the time factor involved with 
playing back pre-recorded tapes which involved the listener in both the 
past and present in the present.  Pieces were scripted involving the 
first part of the dialogue being taped and then played back to interact 
with the continuing dialogue.  Hank did a religious bit,16  for example, 
where he said "I am now going to split my voice into two. This is a 
miracle! This is a miracle!" into a cassette tape recorder. Then he 
rewound it and played it back while saying live into the mike, "This is a 
miracle. My voice is now split in two."   It was effective on the air.
