Just noting that the person who reviewed "Spinning Silver" and "The
Pleasant Profession of Robert A. Heinlein" on March 18 was me, Dave
Wallace (DEW on the Basfa Hugo Recommendation List), not "Mark."

well-sourced
Andy reviewed the Eurovision finals season as that some of the finalists
are definitely different & do sound interesting & also reviewed Ducktales,
specifically season 2, episode 7 - 'Whatever Happened to Della Duck' was
written by people obsessed with Duckberg, Disney stuff & obscure references
[like 'Nausicaa'] & was completely enjoyed; then [evil] Kevin followed,
saying that the musical score for the episode enhance it tremendously & he
recommends it
