AccNoir 2017-02-15

We’ve, ahem, slipped a little — barring exceptional catastrophe, all of our episodes are still airing more or less on schedule, there are just distracting interferences getting in the way of our announcing their availability online. But here, our most “recent” episode, from mid-February, now available online for your enjoyment via digital audio stream or (recommended) MP3 download from the Internet Archive.
