I mistakenly referred to episode 1516 while I was speaking. I meant to say 1512. The two musical bumpers I used in the show are by J.S. Bach, examples 90 and 91 in the textbook "Applied Counterpoint," by Percy Goetschius. These are my own MIDI renditions so they have no copyright burden upon them.
My html-to-epub conversion command (requires calibre):
ebook-convert foobar.html foobar.epub \ --output-profile=tablet \ --disable-font-rescaling \ --smarten-punctuation \ --change-justification=left \ --preserve-cover-aspect-ratio \ --cover=./pathto/cover.jpg \ --use-auto-toc \ --level1-toc "//h:h1" \ --level2-toc "//h:h3"
