Ok! After three weeks of tech setbacks and editing catastrophes, victory is finally at hand! By victory, we of course mean this episode. Welcome to our mammoth second half of the first background episode. We think it beats the stones off of last week’s episode because this one has 18 examples of tribal music and prehistoric instruments. I mean, even your favorite podcast can’t say that. And they’re definitely way better than us.

CAVEAT 1: Yes, editing points are still obvious and there’s a tiny bit of non-offensive clipping in Ronnie’s vox around the middle of the episode. The original audio was lost so you’re stuck with this version.

CAVEAT 2: I've since found much better examples of some of the instruments we've covered so far. You can hear some of them on the following playlist.
