From GE April 24, 1999:

"Down, down, down..." An extraordinary pre-post-modern, multiple-recursion Vault, in which the listener goes down into the Vault, then down into the Vault again, and from there in to a Troll's Hole. Must be heard.
MP3

"Let's hope it put forever to rest the widely-held belief that you are a complete and utter fraud and charlatan." Paul interviews Professor Ian Trumbull on new discoveries at the Ferryland archaeological site.
MP3

Paul talks to Ambrose Sands, hotshot Newfoundland television producer responsible for such hits as Canada's Greatest Abuses of Police Power, and Ontario's Worst Dentists, profiting, as Paul says, "from the destruction of human imagination."
MP3

"Hey, they just completed the Great Mosque at Cordoba — Why so glum?" University of the Air tackles the Y1K problem.

MP3

From GE April 10, 1999:

Paul's complete interview with Kirby Garland, winner of the Silver Shill award for marketing excellence for the second year in a row. Kirby's triumph was the talking soda pop bubble. Paul tries a Furlong's Lime Wizard: "No bye, getting nothing. Not getting a buzz at all. Are you tryin' to rip me off Kirby 'cause if you are...Sorry, old habits, ya know..."
MP3

"...and ravishing as usual. I can say that now what the advances made by Allie MacBeal and Annie Sprinkle, right?" "Yes, you can." "Just for my own purposes Ariel, could I refer to you as the Queen of Denmark?" "No, you can't". An especially tasty political panel, wherein Paul tests Ariel's patience, the BCN's presence on the CBC is explained, and Rex Murphy's hair is discussed:
AF: "Rex has set back Newfoundland hair decades..."
JRC: "The dufus do isn't helping his case..."
MP3

We haven't put nearly enough of Paul's monologues here on the web. This weeks--on his 50th birthday and the 50th anniversary of Confederation — is a particularly good one: "We are ever the butt of hoaxes, jokes and jibes, the cruelest being this so-called Confederation. Yes, we are a gentle people, given over to much-heralded revelry, poetic tendencies, and artful dodging. But you don't rile a standoffish cat. We know your weak spots. We are insuperable and unrelenting. And we will have our revenge. Once more into the breach dear friends, once more. Or close the wall up with our dead. The party is over. The sun is up. It's a new day."
MP3

From GE February 20, 1999:

"...the traditionally passive and cooperative Newfoundland working man has been moved to protest by the Bolshie agitations of Welshman Arthur 'Blackie' Thomas". A treat from the Vault.

MP3

"I've never seen that wrestling hold before. Definitely from the Greco half of the book, eh?" "I said they were wrestlers. I didn't say they were wrestling...A lovely piece. The Macedonians were known for their fine rim work."
"Apparently so."
Paul gets a tour of the erotic sculpture from the collection of Sir Freeman Crotty.
MP3

From GE January 30, 1999:

MP3
