In which Bill gets booked into Calgary's big downtown jail, encounters hardened criminals and guards, revises his opinion of both, and begins questioning some of his life's basic assumptions. Longest episode yet! (As if that's any reason for pride.)
In which Bill, as threatened, pays tribute to late jazz great Michael Brecker. A special all-music edition!
