Thank you for posting your favorites - I have not yet perused the
whole depth of your blog yet, otherwise I would have found it. Thank
you for duplicating the effort.

14 out of 682 is remarkable - I had no clue so many episodes had been
found!

Curiously, in my effort to download all that are "found", I've had
only one file kick back:

JAM - #434 - Scarborough
Just A Minute - 1994.01.01 s30e01 #434 - Scarborough (CF, PJ, DN, J
Eclair) [DB].mp3 (26.76 MB)

The link for this file seems to be broken, at least to my efforts.
Every other file downloads flawlessly.

Back to listening,

bob
