This is a great series with many stories by great authors from all over the podiosphere. I would like to suggest that Ron Vitale re-record Toynbee?s Gate as he stumbles through the entire thing right up to the last words, and even mispronounces the name of Arnold Toynbee in the title. SURELY he can spare an hour of his time to redo this disaster that is an insult to the collection, and to the original production. Oh yea, why not use THAT!?By: H.E. Roulo
