Listener comments!
	3:03pm geezerette: Looks like perspective and balance are on the menu today. Yum, I'm hungry!

	3:14pm Laura L: Hi ya, looking forward to Mr. Strausbaugh on your show today!
	3:22pm Hoboken Jack: What a fine radio I am listening to the show on today!
	3:23pm Irwin: Which is smarter, Jack - your phone or your radio?
	3:24pm Hoboken: Today, definitely the radio.
	3:27pm Irwin: And how is the guy listening to it?
	3:28pm Listening Out There: I'm listening on a computer. It's not smart. It's just a computer...
	3:29pm Irwin: Computers are only as smart as the people who build and program them.
	👻 3:31pm rrg: That's what they want you to think.
	3:31pm Polyus: Unless it's that super smart murderous computer from Terminator 2.
	👻 3:32pm rrg: Or Colossus. He was a problem too.
	3:32pm KevinfromBayRidge: Same for polling programs!
	3:34pm JakeGould: 46% of people eligible to vote didn't.
	3:37pm JakeGould: Or maybe I'm wrong.
	3:38pm Listening Out There: Voters are only as smart as the people who build and program them.
	3:43pm Laura L: In a reader's review of the classic book "How to Lie with Statistics": "When all else fails manipulate the data."
	👻 3:45pm rrg: Ooh, I love that book.
	👻 3:45pm rrg: Also "1066 and All That." I love that book too.
	3:46pm JakeGould: This was "Dewey Defeats Truman" but with HTML5 and CSS3 responsive graphs.
	👻 3:47pm rrg: What, you added a "Format" column to your playlist?
	3:57pm Irwin: That was an errorz.
	4:04pm northguineahills: When I worked for the NYC DEP, I saw some scans of old engineering as-builts of some Manhattan sewers from the 1850s.
	4:09pm joe mulligan: ha! thanks for playing, I never knew of this
	4:19pm Stevel: Just reserved this book at my library. Great interview.
	4:22pm Laura L: You can see Dan Sickles's busted leg bone at the National Museum of Health and Medicine (formerly Army Medical Museum)--it's on display there today, yes.
	4:25pm flashbazbo: Please ask about minstrelsy and play some tunes.
	4:26pm Irwin: wrong book, flash.
	4:31pm Stevel: Leg bone and offending cannonball. (Not horrible to look at, but a bit jarring.) www.medicalmuseum.mil...
	4:33pm Webhamster Henry: The Beecher Family lived across from Mark Twain in Hartford, CT.
	4:36pm Webhamster Henry: Mr. Strasbaugh, you going to get into the history of musical theatre in this period and slightly post-Civil War?
	4:37pm Fox (Rā-chul): Tammany Hall is going to be torn down to build another ugly office building. Whoop.
	4:37pm Webhamster Henry: The original Tammany Hall was where the Con Ed Building is on 14th street. Also where Tony Pastor's original Vaudeville was.
	4:39pm Jeff: I like that whole Kill Henry Sugar album - it's on Swing Back And Down, isn't it?
	4:40pm Jeff: Oh, there - you've got it on the playlist now.
	4:41pm flashbazbo: Ok Irwin. You're gonna take terry gross job. She can't go on forever.
	4:44pm Listener Robert: I tuned in just before the interview started. Weird: The book's new, right? Why do I have such a feeling a deja vu about this interview. I've heard Irwin interviewing Strausbaugh before, but this one's got to be new, right?
	4:46pm Listener Robert: Maybe it's just familiarity w the subject matter, and over a matter of years some material's bound to come up repeatedly. Or just the sound of their voices together.
	4:46pm Webhamster Henry: If you go to the Fire Museum on Spring street, you can read about this kind of fire company rivalry. But I think, eventually, you'd choose your company and put a plaque on your house showing which fire company was paid to protect your house. Kind of like having private health insurance before Single Payer which we enjoy today. Not.
	4:47pm Laura L: @ Robert--yes, this is a brand new book; you might be thinking of his earlier book "The Village"?
	4:47pm ScottC: Blockade of southern harbors and British neutrality...
	4:49pm Listener Robert: Laura, I might be thinking more than one book back. Maybe I'm just conflating my knowledge of the subject, Mssrs. Strausbaugh's & Chusid's voices, and my reading of Strausbaugh in the NY Press decades ago.
	4:49pm Jeff: Nathaniel Gordon?
	4:52pm geezerette: This is fascinating.
	4:54pm sugarwolf: I really enjoyed reading The Village, so I look forward to this new book!!
	5:00pm andrew: Augustus Saint Gaudins holed up in the cameo shop where he worked accros from madison square during the draft riots.
	5:01pm Listener Robert: The pen is mightier than the sword -- unless you take it literally. Then I think I'm keeping my head down.
	5:03pm coelacanth: crap. i just missed something interesting.
	5:04pm geezerette: Fantastic interview. Excited to read his books.
	5:04pm northguineahills: Yeah, great interview!
	5:05pm geezerette: coel, you have to listen later,so interesting! :)
	5:07pm geezerette: Hi ngh!
	5:07pm Webhamster Henry: The Draft Riots at least had some kind of political motivation, but the Astor Place Riot ... was about which actor was better at Shakespeare.(1849). 25 dead, 120 injured.
	5:08pm coelacanth: Thanks g. i was looking forward to it but life's been crazy again the last few days and i forgot about it. (car stuff)
	5:10pm Laura L: Thanks Irwin and John, that was swell.
	5:14pm geezerette: Webhamster:Wow, what a hot headed audience! Coel, ugh,not fun!
	5:14pm Webhamster Henry: You can probably tell I'm a nut about this stuff too . That's because I was born in 1832, but lie about my age.
	👻 5:15pm rrg: The Old Codger is like that too.
	5:19pm geezerette: You're extremely well preserved!

	5:43pm Rich in Washington: The Good Rats. That was amazing. Totally new to me.
	5:45pm Irwin: Rich: 1974, TASTY, their best album. Not a clunker on it.
	👻 5:46pm Ken From Hyde Park: Nice show today, dear Irwin. Thanks for spinning.

	5:50pm Irwin: coel: there's a live Rats show online somewhere, found it a few weeks ago, been meaning to listen. On a quick review, it sounded well-recorded and dates from their prime.
	5:52pm Linda Lee: sweet music! thanks Irwin!
