Magic Whistle Radio Hour 10

I changed the name. I really didn't like “Audio Elucidation”

You can also right click this to save a file of it. The previous 9 shows can be accessed through this hyperlink.

These are all things I've collected over the years or acquired on mixtapes and comps or gathered from the internet. I make no claims to "discovering" or "owning" anything and I'm making no profit from it. It's whatever I feel like playing that week. Things that may or may not be familiar. Who knows.

Here's the information I've tried to find on everything:

This was the cover story drawn by John Severin.

I wonder if the writers knew what would become of O.J. Simpson twenty years later.
Here's the original art to that story.
