“Every episode is complex and highly structured. It takes two to three weeks to design, record, and edit each show, thus the limited number of shows produced over the years. It's not unusual for me to spend five or ten minutes perfecting a single segue between two songs.”

Steve Leventhal, producer and engineer of Psychedelic Time Warp
