Real Fool Time

Welcome to the long-awaited debut of Real Cool Time's online archive presence. Long-awaited by us, at least. Our mothership CIUT has yet to put up archives on its page, so we asked our pal-in-programming Steve of the Electric Sound Basement for advice on how to take matters into our own hands. Here's the result!

We'll be gradually adding previous programs along with current ones. Unfortunately this one from April 1 is the most recent show we have at the moment (the downloading computer at the station was dismantled for a couple of weeks to make room for the funding drive phone volunteers).

Real Cool Time Podcast, 4/1/2008: Real Fool Time, celebrating April Fool's Day. The first couple of songs got cut off as we had to start a few minutes early.
