Prior to the main theme to The Bob Swami Show, a brief extract from an "old time radio" commercial for Ironized Yeast was played. You can hear the whole commercial at http://www.oldtimeradiofans.com/old_radio_commercials/ironized_yeast.php - this clip is believed to be in the public domain. We love these old radio commercials.

The theme to The Bob Swami Show, bumpers and end theme are from the song "Binjoum" from the album Binjoum by the group Thiaz Itch. The music that plays under the final segment to the show is the song "Bubblin' Pipe" from the album Binjoum by the group Thiaz Itch. Both are used with permission from their publisher (http://prootrecords.free.fr) and the artist (http://thiazitch.free.fr/). Thanks Mathias! When the time came to select a main theme for the show your work was far and away the best.

At the introduction of the show's theme, you heard the song "Le pont du Gard" from the album Au Lit Les Momes! by the group Au Lit Les Momes. At the end of the show, just before the wrap-up, you heard the song "Berceuse pour un sale mome" from the album Au Lit Les Momes! by the group Au Lit Les Momes. (http://www.jamendo.com/fr/album/441/). It's too bad that the group is no longer together - if you know of other ALLM albums, let us know.
