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.   :/
