Listen for: The conductor R-34 telling Peter he should be dead, and Peter's insistence on an appeal while his feelings for June grow.
Written from the episode itself; it never gives away the ending. Every recording is remastered for the stream: cleaned of rumble, hiss and mains hum (and the old TV whine where we found it), then levelled in two passes to steady broadcast loudness, so one show is never quieter than the next.
