178a: Mistakes Were Made

This note is specifically for the few hundred of you who downloaded the episode only a short time after it dropped.

I got a very nice note from Cousin Richard, who pointed out to me that the Marshall Amplifier Company was founded by Jim Marshall, at Bletchley in Milton Keynes. That’d be the same Bletchley which is now famous for being the top-secret home of the World War Two codebreakers. Richard recalls being about ten years old and his father taking him down to the Marshall shop on High Street, and seeing Jim from time to time in the store.

I’d seen the Tom Marshall thing somewhere and, because it didn’t so much add anything to the Jane Asher story as it was a little bit of lagniappe to the trivia question, I didn’t scrutinize it more deeply, which clearly came back to bite me.

If you download the episode anew, you’ll get the same episode with my correction patched in, but if you don’t, it’s no biggie. I do regret the error and I thank Cousin Richard for setting me straight.
