In the Fall of 1971, The Firesign Theatre agreed to produce 12 episodes of a new radio series called "Let's Eat"(named after an abandoned Movie Project). You can hear in the excerpts broadcast tonight the Firesign Theatre revisiting old characters (Mark Time) and working up characters and story lines that would find fruition in later album projects.
