Well, here it is. The voice of Robert? Have a listen and see what you think!

Ok, guys, this was a great show about Robert, with, we think, a little extra something. Those in the chat room who were listening live, as well as my producer Mike Leier and I, heard a male voice at one point in the background. During the commercial break, I asked Frances Holland, the woman who I was interviewing, who that was talking in the background, and Frances swears that she was all alone in the museum! Did we catch an EVP from Robert himself? Listen carefully and you will hear the words "Robert. I'm Robert. I'm here, I'm here," and then a kind of growly noise and a giggle. The strange voice comes at about 12:26 into the podcast. I'll try and post a "cleaned up" version of that particular section soon.
