Hey friendos. I'm compiling a database of O&A show data. The end goal is to have a website of excel-style data that can be searched, sorted and filtered. I don't know if I can get away to linking to youtube via the database or if that would end me up in copyright trouble, but even without that functionality, I believe it would be a tremendous resource. It would be a simple way to find the dates of Louis' appearances, or nopie shows, etc. I'm also considering creating username functionality so people can add content tags and rate shows, and then the list could also be ordered by star (0-5) ratings.

The best source of information I've been able to find thusfar are the oanda rundowns. The things I could use help on are:

• Are there other sources of date information available that I'm not aware of or do I have to use the rundowns?

• Where can I find accurate timeline information on O&A's career? There's a timeline on the O&Apedia thing, but it doesn't have exact dates of when they switched stations. It just gives general dates.

• Are there early recordings of O&A available? I found Ant's first appearance on opie's nighttime attitude (ugh..), because it's easy to find on youtube, but I can't find anything else from 1994.

Any help that anyone could offer would be appreciated. This is a project I've been thinking about for a long time, and since the show is pretty much over, I figured now would be a good time to start putting it together.

I'm thinking of starting with Patrice's appearances first and then maybe Louis and Burr and Vos and some of the other regulars. I know this is possible by just listening to the shows, many of which I have on in my collection already, but it would save me a lot of time if there is already a reliable list of dates somewhere. The Patrice appearances on YouTube, for example, are numbered but don't have the dates anywhere.

Remember, with your help, I can make this project... a home run. Thanks, gang.
