If you're listening to this on your ACTUAL retro hardware
then these files should be more digestible. They are mp3s
compressed down to half the size (mono 11KHz 64kbps mp3),
and served up at the end of an unencrypted link. The show
notes aren't included since they are mostly lists of links
at encrypted endpoints anyway.
These are more gopher-friendly but slower proxied episodes.

NOTE (MAY 29, 2025):
LO-FI AND A2STREAM FILES NO LONGER ACCESSIBLE.
We intend to bring them back when we can.
Bandwidth costs were getting out of control.
