Episode 950

Poetic Interval
Leo breaks into poetry and botches Robert Frost's Mountain Interval: The Road Not Taken - Two roads diverged in a yellow wood ...
Wacky Interval
And then Leo breaks into a wacky promotion of the product of a sponsor, for which Leo suggests rather unconventional uses. It's almost as crazy as the Visa commercial in Episode 145. This time, Leo is wise enough to request an editing out of the segment, which is not included on the audio download.
Another Solution for FM Transmitters in Cars
Since Episode 921 in which a listener asked for a solution to interference to FM transmitters caused by local FM signals, we've had a raft of suggestions, including breaking off the antenna (Episode 934) and tuning in to 87.7MHz left open by analogue TV channels (Episode 936). Jason Ells has another solution to offer. Jason notes that most car radios allow you to select the country or region for FM reception, and he sets it to Japan. He can still tune in to American stations, but the Japan mode lets him select a much lower frequency than local stations, which does away with the interference giving him perfect sound from his FM transmitter.
