the FUNKATRONIC 5000 AUDIO SOUND NOISE BROADCAST PODCAST episode 1

Hello all.

I am pleased and delighted to inform you that FUNKATRONIC 5000 returns to the internet, as the author of the WORLD'S ONLY ROBOT-GENERATED PODCAST.

I'm his 'agent', as it were, and not his owner. Funkatronic 5000's owner would like to remain anonymous, although they're happy for me to get you up to speed on this marvellous machine.

A music historian called Norman Strauss first discovered F5000 a few years ago, whilst researching a band called NDP who operated around the start of World War 2 (F5000 explains what happened to himself at the start of the podcast). Funkatronic 5000 was, at the time, one of the world's most prestigious, and complicated, machines. Funkatronic 5000 wasn't his original designation, of course; that was XHT-DZ39. I'm sure you'll agree F5000 rolls off the tongue a lot easier.

After the war, F5000 disappeared and his name and function were eventually forgotten. Now he's been returned to his former glory, he wishes to share with you, the general public, his love of music. This first audio sound noise broadcast podcast brings you a variety of robot-generated music, of electronic and rock genres.

I initially suggested to Funkatronic 5000 that he generate a new episode every month, but he was, and still is, very keen to create one every week. So, the next one will be online this next Friday (31st July). Meanwhile, the buzzwords for this episode are:
