There was a 21-second dropout about 1:08 into Chain of Fools that was present in both the FM source and the online streaming mp3 source. The dropout was removed and 2 seconds of silence was inserted.

Unrelated to that dropout, the FM recording ended abruptly a couple of minute later, about 3:03 into Track 10. The last 13 minutes of the show is from the streaming mp3 source.
