It's 60-second podcasts from Scientific American. The topics cover just about everything and give good explanations. It's almost as good as having your own squints.

Great resource...except that Max Keenan became Matthew Brennan, along with Christine, Russ, and Temperance.

Thanks! These resources helped a lot!

Actually, I would like to make a small correction--I know the phrasing is somewhat ambiguous, but they lived in or near Chicago when McVicker found them. Those are old Illinois plates on the car. And a 1000 miles from Chicago would probably be somewhere in the southeast or far western/southwestern part of the country. Possibly Maine. I figured it was as the crow flew and not by the roads.
I lean toward the east coast because would they honestly ship an abandoned car to New Jersey from California, say?

This is project is In Process right now. ToZ collected all the material then I loaded it on our server. Right now it's just an episode list, but it will expand to other information that could be helpful to FF writers. If you have particular requests go ahead and send a PM to ToZ or me.






(One thing...I have a column for abbreviations. Originally there weren't duplicates hardly at all but these days it almost feels like they're buying the letters on Wheel of Fortune or something. Anybody got any ideas about what to do to distinguish these, or should I just remove that column altogether?)
