I didn't think about the order of Joe's shows until I figured out the | |||
order of the 'Karma' episodes, which I identified as starting with | |||
'Karma Part 1' (That's the way radio stations aired them.) With that | |||
as my starting point, 'The nature of things' seemed a later episode, | |||
because every segment is also in a 'Karma' episode, but it precedes | |||
'Karma Part 1'. | |||
