"The Big Broadcast is a Sunday night tradition for families throughout the WAMU listening area. Each week, Big Broadcast host Ed Walker offers listeners priceless recordings of popular radio programs from the '30s, '40s and '50s. Priceless, especially, for a man whose first sentence as a child was, 'Turn the radio on.' "

Happy Sunday...never heard of Studio One but we have a Whistler...

Hope everyone is well...it's a beautiful day in Baltimore but the Orioles just dropped two in a row...

[Vision]

Am listening to WAMU before the BB starts...I cannot believe this rap/love story is paid for with tax dollars. Disgusting.

Hi, Vision. I’m late with no synopses. We’ve been busy this afternoon, and I just sat down.

You had guts to listen to WAMU before the Big Broadcast! On the few times I’ve accidentally caught some of their other programming, I cringe.

It looks like we all have a beautiful day. Great one down here, too.

[Vision]

Hey Gina, good to hear, I was worried. Have you ever not made a pre show post?

What's new? I'm hoping spring has finally arrived. Did some beef ribs yesterday and they were great.

[Vision]

“...this plastic is great, isn't it?”

[WXRGina]

Yes, I normally do up the synopsis list earlier in the day and post it when you post the thread, although not before the day of. I just didn't do it today. Lame, I guess. Those snippets I use are not nearly as good as the ones SteelYourFaith used to do.

Not much new here, except I got in trouble on here a few nights ago. I posted a column from The Berean Call which was critical of Catholicism. The Religion Moderator later said if I had only posted it as an open discussion, it would have been fine, but I screwed up and called it a "caucus." A flame attack erupted with vicious Catholics screeching. The thread was pulled and the Admin Mod cut off my ability to do anything, which is stupid, because I only posted a column. Catholics can be very, very hostile when their beliefs are honestly, truthfully criticized. I emailed The Man, and long story short, my "privileges" were restored. I came close to leaving this place, but reconsidered.

[Vision]

High drama. Did you repost it as an open discussion?

[WXRGina]

No, like I said, I screwed up and called it a “caucus.” It would’ve been fine if I had posted it as an open discussion. That’s what the Religion Mod said. I was irked at how the Admin Mod reacted, cutting me off. I really did start to walk away even though J.R. gave me back my ability to comment, etc., but, like I said, I ended up staying.

[WXRGina]

Oh! I just re-read your question. No, I did not re-post it. J.R. told me not to post anything like that again. I figured I wouldn’t push it.

[Vision]

How are you doing? Do you need a cocktail to relax from the week?

[WXRGina]

Yes, I do, Vision, and I’m on my second Natural Light.

[Vision]

Have you heard of Studio One before?

[WXRGina]

No, neither one of us had heard of it.

We also just learned Mr. Walker is a fan of the Carpenters!

[Vision]

Yea he is. I'm on mute...

In a pefect world I'd pour a bourbon...but instead I'll be gorging on these wonderful bars...

[Vision]

It's way too early to run Clock. This is for the 10:30pm slot. A jack benny should be running now...

[WXRGina]

Those look good! Mmmmmm!

I don’t mind the early scary show. It’s creepy as heck!

[Vision]

Ok. Shows like this I like to listen to in the dark so you're completely drawn into them.
