WHITTLE: THE STRATOSPHERE LOUNGE, EP. 84





It's been awhile since I've posted an episode of The Stratosphere Lounge. The last one I posted was Episode 78. Bill posts these to YouTube rather haphazardly so there is often a lag time of weeks. But Episode 84 (recorded on Dec. 3rd) is the first of TSL 2.0 so I wanted to post it now in anticipation of the Common Sense Resistance, Year Two. Episode 85, the most recent episode, has not been uploaded to YouTube yet but can be found here.  Also, here are links to the episodes that I haven't post previously (Episode 79 has been deleted due to some sort of copyright issue):
