   Hello Rob!

   Nothing worthy there.  The search/transcript feature is     
   interesting though.  No hits for "fidonet", but 3 results for     
   "fido net".  That tech has a long way to go before it is useful     
   for finding relevant text in a podcast.   
      
   I used to listen to the No Agenda podcast more regularly in the     
   past.  But I stopped when it seemed you never knew what they     
   would end up talking about.  1hr+ to 2hrs is a bit too long for     
   a stream of conciousness chit chat.     
      
   There is far more relevant "Fidonet remembered.." content in a     
   couple of recent books that I've mentioned in a few other     
   echos.   
      
   Listening to a couple of old guys misremembering what Fidonet     
   is and is not can be a bit depressing actually.   :/
