Even on a Test Show, never ever think you can get what you want when you call Tom. That's my lesson of the day.
I'm really happy with how everything sounds and feels. After some minor tweaking, the Best Show will sound at least as good as it did on WFMU -- probably better actually. I listened to a Best Show Gem, and there's always some slight hiss in the background of the WFMU era shows. This is going to be great.
