Re: [ARSCLIST] blooper samples?

[Tom Fine <tflists@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Schaeffer did a whole series, "Pardon My Blooper," "Super Bloopers," etc. Lots of overlap but some

I have a couple of those albums. The NPR producer is welcome to contact me. As long as they get 
clearance to use the audio, I'm happy to FTP it to their server.
