From ten years ago, here’s the “Part II” second hour of our 228th episode, the “Banjo Noir” underdog instrument member drive special, featuring guest expertise from Linda Bull and Sue Malcolm.  At its original online home, it logged some 6167 listens, but thanks to the Internet Archive people can continue enjoying it on into the future.  Here’s its playlist:
