Did you download this episode when it was hot off the audio presses? Did you hear a few extra people about nineteen minutes in? We noticed that too, and are very sorry for the mix-up. Try the download again, and the new file you get will have none of that sort of silly nonsense. Just the regular sort, and plenty of it.
