Maybe someone could add The Best Show Vault to the external links?

I don't know, I heard that blog was kind of freaky.

Done.

I made a template too, but it still needs some work.  Hopefully the Best Show logo image won't be deleted.

[A.M. Thomas]

I'd like to add the "No. of episodes" and "Opening Theme."  If anyone knows how many shows there have been or what the name of the band that does the "Best Show" song is, let me know.  I don't want to count the number of shows on the archives if I don't have to.

Also, was the first official Best Show aired on November 30, 1999?  I know there was a music show before the talk show, but was this the first date of the talk show?

[yesno]

Themeweavers, LLC does the opening music (the song that is then used as bed music)-- but I don't remember who does the "People's Theme."

edit:  And I don't have time now, but if you copy the whole text of the archive page and paste it into Numbers or Excel, it will give each line its own numbered row.  You can then delete the superfluous rows, and then you'd delete the ones where other DJs filled and, and then listen to the archive for the older shows that have no description to see if they were really Best Shows or not.  That's the only way I could think to get the number of shows easily.

[A.M. Thomas]

As for number of Best Shows so far, my best count is 327 as of July 1, 2008, counting the November 30, 1999 date in the archive.

The first show was on October 10th, 2000. I have no idea what that 1999 thing is doing on the archives, but the reason there's no 'listen' attached to it is because it doesn't exist.

History!

Okay, I fixed the "Air Dates."  I'll be updating the "No. of episodes" sometime soon.  I should probably just recount.

I have updated the Newbridgctionary.  Now the story is complete.

Except for those missing archives.

I noticed that Fredericks has a mention on the New Port Richey article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Port_Richey

Also, it blew my mind that Nathan Explosion is from the same town.

Has anyone read Tom's Wikipedia page recently?

I won't spoil it, but take a gander at the biography section...
