Podcast Repetition, Adam Curry's Portugal Cork Story
Adam Curry addresses listener feedback regarding his tendency to repeat a story about visiting a cork factory in Portugal. The hosts agree to use a horn sound effect to signal when a story has been told previously on the show. They briefly mention Cliff Richard's vineyard in the same region of Portugal.
A review of the L'Orangerie restaurant in Portugal highlights local delicacies such as pumpkin cream soup and octopus carpaccio. The hosts specifically discuss "Vida Nova," a wine produced by British singer Sir Cliff Richard at his estate in the Algarve.

UK Copyright Extension, Cliff Richard Lobbying
Musicians including Cliff Richard, Billy Bragg, and Robin Gibb successfully lobbied the British government to extend music copyright protections beyond the previous 50-year limit. The legislative change prevents early hits from the 1950s and 60s from entering the public domain, mirroring the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act in the United States.
