Friends, it's Sunday night again and time to relax. Warm up the tubes for another 4 hours of classic radio Americana.
Info *tonight's show will be available at the "Info" link starting tomorrow.
Official OTR blog of "The Big Broadcast" thread:
Liking the lineup tonight...a couple classic B shows with Fibber McGee and Broadway is my Beat...a usually interesting B+ show with This is Your FBI...and what appears to be a great 10pm hour of mystery with a show new to me, Curtain Time...and closing nicely with Mysterious Traveler...
How's the weekend going?
It's a nice lineup tonight! We have an anti-Nazi song sung on Fibber McGee and Molly. :-)

Hi, Vision! The usual’s up. It’s cool here but sunny. I wish the weekend were longer.
Do you keep Ed’s name on your intro comments for sentimental reasons? I’ve been wondering.
How’s your week and weekend been?
Haven't figured out the best way to update the thread. Any thoughts?
Dang, you’re water logged!
When I filled in for you, I just changed your paragraph to remove all the information about Ed and said the host is Rob Bamberger. I don’t guess we know too much about him. Old time radio was not his gig.
Well, the Skins will lose. So nothing new eh?
Yeah, and Rob has to issue the “we don’t normally play cigarette ads” PC crap. Whatever.
I get tired of the pansy PC, big-time tired.
I’m a late arrival tonight!
I also hate the PC cigarette nonsense!
Thanks so much for the thread and show information.
I hate it when I’m late for DRAGNET!
Oh well, I’m on time for the rest of the shows.
