Show Notes:

1. It’s not known whether Petra Wojciehowicz attended the Muncie College of Business Administration at the same time as its most famous alumnus, Norville Barnes.

2. “Hurry, Kato! We’re out to smash a writing racket!” Green Hornet smashed a fraudulent vanity publishing racket in an episode of his radio show. I have it on a CD but unfortunately I can’t find a free copy of it on the web to link to. It might have been called “Chiselling Ryder’s Writer Racket” and might have aired in 1939 or 40.

3. I thought they were rolling their Rs and exclaiming “Marone!” on The Sopranos, except subtitles showed “Madonn’!” This is also how I found out the word “capicola” is pronounced “gabba gool” by some people.

4. Would a Sergeant outrank detectives in a Homicide squad? Let’s just say getting ranks wrong is not the most egregious behavior of the Parabellum City Police Department.

5. I saw a Doberman and Collie together in the same fenced yard while I was out walking. They seemed like an odd pair, if your brain is poisoned by ideas of one breed of dog seeming macho and another seeming girly. It seemed funny that the Collie had a deeper bark than the Doberman. After briefly forgetting where I had seen them, I finally found the original pair again and recorded them for some of the barking sounds in this episode.
