Show Notes:
1. This episode was partly inspired by an episode of Deep Space Nine in which someone told Sisko over a communicator, “I think you better come see this,” because the writers wanted to show and not tell, I guess.

2. The first pre-sweetened cereal was Ranger Joe Wheat Honnies, produced in 1939. It was similar to the puffed wheat cereals still produced today under the names Golden Crisp and Honey Smacks. Jesse Rogers starred as Ranger Joe on a Philadelphia tv station from 1950-1952.

3. Listen to the fake commercial in episode 59, “Publisher War Zone,” for more details about Pizzicato, formerly the Parabellum City Area Transit System.

3. That’s a real commercial in the middle of this episode. Listen to Blazed All Our Lives wherever you find podcasts.

Credits:
The opening and middle transitional music clips were from The Sun Sets at Dawn (1950), and the closing music was from Killer Bait (1949), both films in the public domain. Most of the music and sound effects used in the episode are modified or incomplete versions of the originals.
