And they looked, and they saw... 2007-07-10*

If you listen to the audio recording of this one while reading the transcript below, I think you'll find it a uniquely enjoyable experience. It's hard to catch the nuances of expression just through reading the transcript, and I think it's hard to catch all she says it you don't read the transcript but only listen to the recording, partly because of her articulation and partly because of the extremes in dynamic/volume range that she uses. I've used some audio compression on the file here to try and reduce this latter effect a little, but since her range is so great, some of her whispers are still too soft to hear and some of her yelling is really very loud :P
