[Ch 1] "Noise from the Hearts of Nerds" - “C1E98: Mishmash Monday – vol. 17”

Today’s broadcast is C1E98 for Mishmash Monday, Sept 29th, 2025. Today’s broadcast will be Mishmash Monday – vol. 17 – our final installment in the Mishmash Monday series on Ch 1. Also, while, barring circumstances far beyond my control, this is most certainly not the final episode of Nerd Noise Radio, it is "an end" in a certain manner of speaking.
