museum.media.org: Internet Talk Radio edit / delete

"Internet Talk Radio started broadcasting in 1993 as the first radio station on the Internet. As part of the museum.media.org effort to rescue some of our past work, we're also maintaining archives of early programs in their original state." Includes the "Hell's Bells" documentary that Joybubbles refers to in one of his recordings, and Cliff Stoll doing a presentation on "The Cuckoo's Egg".
