Notes: There was a break in my recording due to required media changes (due to the length of the broadcast). The missing section was restored using a splice from the mp3 stream:
* 1.9 seconds from the mp3 source at 2:36 into Track 11.

A number of edits were made to remove or reduce the length of DJ interruptions during the recording, including:
* 21 seconds removed about 8:16 into Medicine (after the music)
* 17 seconds removed at 6:23 into Track 7 (to reduce the length of the announcement)
* 33 seconds removed at the end of Track 8 (at 6:44)
* 32 seconds removed at the end of Track 9

In addition, there is a 5-second dropout near the end of Track 4 (at about 7:32) that was inherent in the broadcast.
