Dear Friends,
You’ll never guess what I’ve been doing for a good part of yesterday and today. Groveling. Yes, groveling and humbly apologizing for something I DIDN’T DO!
Those of you who listen to Selected Shorts on the radio know that we follow the practice of bleeping out any words that may be considered “obscene” or “inappropriate” or foul. Well, we don’t actually replace their words with annoying BLEEPS! We have learned to be much more subtle, and our mix engineers have developed a high level of skill at “dropping out” such words so that you don’t hear a distressing bleep, but just a little skip in the rhythm of the reader’s sentence.
