Editing The Christmas Club Shows

I've been examining The Christmas Club shows with Johnny & Andy from 2013 and 2014 and it seems that there has been some cutting and pasting involved in these shows. Some of the shows' segments--both the music and the banter between them--are exactly the same which means some of these programs have been significantly edited most likely by the station. Another observation is that on the show that was aired in 2014 which I uploaded to Mixcloud, they start off by saying it's their 7th year doing the show. Obviously since my earliest recording of their show dates back to 2002, the numbers do not add up. It cannot be a new show from 2014 if they've been doing the show since the early 2000's and it's their seventh year doing it.

What I will end up doing is some editing of my own. I will remove the repeated segments and create some unique programs. Besides, I need all the extra space I can get on my iPod. As I compared the 2014 show to the 2013, there were 17 common songs between them. I don't mind if there are repeats from year to year but as I mentioned they're not just scattered about. It is entire segments of the shows. There was a 6 song segment that was repeated and the final 11 song segment of both shows were exactly the same. I can combine those 2 shows and come up with a single 66 song show. I'll be doing some more listening the next few days.
