@thenewsagents.co.uk hello, all. I’m a listener & fan from the beginning of your show, & I appreciate your professionalism, dedication & integrity.

Old US newspaper comic showing a carnival sideshow with two men on stage and an announcer describing them. A crowd looks on. The 2 men on stage are joined at the ends of their long beards. One is labeled America First and the other has a large swastika on his torso. Annoncer: "And on this platform folks, those most perplexing people...the lads with the Siamese beard! Unrelated by blood, they are joined in a manner that mystifies the muddiest minds in the land!"
