All we hear is ...

In 1991, I would occasionally do some pre-recorded bits for the morning show of the radio station I worked for, which was decidedly humor impaired.

I worked overnight. The owner of the station, a bald man in his late 60s with one glass eye and cataracts in the other and a personal hygiene problem, lived over top of the studios in an apartment, so I couldn't make much noise at night. When I wasn't dodging his on-going sexual harassment attempts, I'd play around in the recording studio. I discovered the reverb machine, and Safety Tips from Captain Good was born.

Except for one extreme example that I'll get to later and the reverb used for Captain Good, all the voices used were my own.

Another bit was Mildred's Traffic Report:
