Compiled by relistening to the whole run from the first episode. What is marked here is what was judged worth marking on that pass, so the early years are thinner than the later ones — much of what was said then had already been overtaken by the time it was heard again, not because less was happening. Eras are assigned by date, so every entry falls inside one.
