In this episode, we get to hear back from some of your fellow listeners. It seems the Mayberry Party Line episode (#117) was a popular one for comments from listeners as was last weeks show, African-Americans in Mayberry. Running time: 0:15:49

In this episode we'll be talking about African-Americans living in Mayberry. This is a topic that comes up from time to time in The Andy Griffith Show fan community and since this episode is being recorded on Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, the topic came to my mind. Running time: 0:20:04

We have several bits of feedback and comments from some of wonderful listeners of the podcast. They'll be sharing some great Mayberry related stories and we'll hear some about how The Andy Griffith Show impacts real life. Running time: 0:18:48

Mayberry Christmas to all! Lets have some fun and sing along with "Barney the Mayberry Deputy". We also get to hear Miss Ellie sing Away in a Manger for the close of the podcast.

In part 4 of our interview with Jackie Joseph, Ernest T. darlin' Romeena, we hear a bit about Howard "Ernest T. Bass" Morris and then move on to Elvis. Sounds like a hard segue to make (what..Oh!

As this episode of the podcast is being recorded, it is the 50th anniversary of the first airing of episode number 4 of The Andy Griffith Show titled "Ellie Comes to Town." That fact and as a result of a voice mail I received this week it seemed fitting to focus just a bit on this episode. Running time: 0:16:38

The issue that keeps raising it's head is "who's bank book was Andy looking at, his own or Parnell Rigsby's, when he said, "Ain't that the saddest bank book you ever saw?" Andy took the bank book out of the same cigar box that he had been keeping Mr. Rigsby's change purse. I, and many others, have always believed that to be Andy's bank book BUT there are also a lot of folks that think that it was...
