NOTE: The theme music used in our radio broadcasts is licensed.  But due to the extremely complicated and convoluted process of obtaining music licenses for podcasts, we do not include the music here.  Otherwise, these podcast episodes are exactly what aired on the radio. 

SHOW TOPIC: The Mighty Moo, the USS Cowpens and Her Epic World War II Journey from Jinx Ship to the Navy's First Carrier into Tokyo Bay (with Nathan Canestaro)
