Episode #199: Keep Your Eye on the Sparrow

I can assure you that I try to fill every episode of Star Time with solid, worthwhile material, not lesser stuff to be used as filler. That said: Occasionally, there'll be an episode that gets strewn during a really busy period, when the artiste has a lot going on. Possibly, this kind of episode may operate on lax rules and heavy deadline orientation. Ergo, some programming decisions may be... not... entirely... sound. I'm not saying this week's show is necessarily one of those episodes. I'm just saying there's a song by Donna Summer called "The Hostage" on it.
