I guess DW has a copy of the same list Mike posted the other day. In any case, glad to see this year come up. Lots of potentially great material. And since the WTF stream seems to be down, looks like I will be listening right off the bat.

ETA: Nope, we hit 1965 about a month ago. But we visted 1976 and 1986 recently, so I guess there's a pattern evolving.
