Yes, it sounds like Ray remains available for adding topical comments to the pre-recordings from the past. That’s a good idea I think. Makes the show sound like it is broadcast live.
I think on this past week’s show, Tommy read the name of the listener who wrote in w/their sol’n to the “flat tire” puzzler. I’m not sure if this is a listener who already won, or a new one. Maybe Tommy is adding some topical stuff too from time to time.
