anyone have any idea what happened here?
Aha. No, that's from the WFMU page, not Mega. That episode doesn't exist anywhere (maybe Tom has a copy... maybe). It was taken down pretty quickly and none of the Best Show obsessives I'm in touch with have a copy.
Is that the only episode that absolutely doesn't exist in any form anywhere? As I recall, the Wurster and Earles contributions from that episodes are out there - Kimmy McCook and Extreme Dad.
I know that there are four Wurster calls for which we don't have the complete versions:
- The Gorch (there was additional material played the in March 20, 2001 episode, but no full call)
- The Music Scholar
- Citizens for a True Democracy
- Radio Hut
No, there's a handful. They are:
