That graphic I made gives the impression we're celebrating some fiftieth event or anniversary. That's simply not the case. The show is just exploring the number fifty.
Which is not to say that the show doesn't talk about fifty things in one way or another. Fifty miles, fifty years, fifty cents - there are many things in groups of fifty here. (Incidentally, I wish there were a name for groups of fifty. We just have some DC nonprofit & that time in the book of Luke (9:14) where Jesus feeds the five thousand & has them get into "groups of about fifty each" - & if Jesus can't come up for a word for groups of fifty, I'm not going to.)
What was I talking about? Oh yeah, no anniversary, no milestone, nothing but a discussion of the number fifty plus lots of fifty-themed songs, including an entire set on the notion of "50/50" - an equitable split.
Sorry the show is late! It's a little early today for your convenience. But still late! It's now at Self Help Radio dot net, you'll need a username (SHR) & a password (selfhelp) to listen, & what is played (including the interviews) is listed below.
Thanks for your patience!
