| 0:00.0 | Hey, good morning, Patriots, and welcome to the week of the best of in the Bard's FM history of shows. |
| 0:07.1 | This morning show is episode 121, originally airing on September 29th, 2020. |
| 0:15.5 | This takes us way back. |
| 0:17.0 | And what's interesting is this was the original format. |
| 0:19.8 | When I say that, the original time format of the show was 20 minutes, and I based that on commute times. |
| 0:26.0 | So in the early part of the shows, there were no lives. |
| 0:28.9 | Back at that point, they were all pre-recorded. |
| 0:31.5 | And many of them were pre-recorded with a measure of scripting when I actually was writing out some of these podcasts. |
| 0:37.0 | And the time frame was locked at about 20 to 25 minutes. |
| 0:41.4 | Again, all the research that I had done up to that point was the best place for people to |

| 1:10.4 | that we've been talking about it. |
| 1:11.8 | Well, here it is. It takes us back to September of 2020. And this was the first of a nine-part series, |
| 1:17.9 | but it's a really important show to hear again. And as I listened to it myself, I really was |
| 1:23.9 | amazed at how relevant it is even to today. So I hope you enjoy the show. |
| 1:28.2 | It's a shorter show for the morning program than we normally have. |
| 1:31.0 | But again, it's a throwback to the past. |
| 1:33.6 | So with that, let's dig into Bards FM, episode 121, county by county, part one, the introduction. |
