Apologies for the lateness of this release. Illness, work schedule, and crappy audio files work together well to kill one's enthusiasm for editing. Given how long it was to get this out, I hope you can forgive no show art for this one.
We want to hear from you!

Card Catalog
From the Graham wing of the Orne Library: A YouTube channel that hosts old public domain/declassified films. though there are a few such channels, this one stands out for the host's efforts to clean-up the footage and sound wherever possible. The time period covered is 1918 - 2000s and includes old TV adverts, documentaries, and also some 1970s CIA/FBI training films.
The Channel is linked here.
And here are a selection of videos:
Colt 45 Malt Liquor Commercial (Skydiving Waiter)
1970s CIA Training Film (Made by MI5)
'Land of the Giants' 1935 California Travel Documentary
And a little something for laughs...

"I have made my pact with thee O Lucifer! Hear me, hear me! I will do thy bidding for all eternity. For all eternity shall I practice the ritual of Black Mass. For all eternity shall I sacrifice unto thee. I give thee my soul, take me into thy service."
"O Lucifer, listen to thy servant, grant her this pact for all eternity and I with her, and if we fail thee but once, you may do with our souls what you will."
"Make this city an example of thy vengeance. Curse it, curse it for all eternity! Let me be the instrument of thy curse. Hear me O Lucifer, hear me!"
