"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.' "

I got this ready in case SteelYourFaith does not do his excellent synopses list! I'll go ahead and post it, and maybe he will let us know if he wants to take over doing it as before.

I see an error in the time stamps on the lineup. The Mercury Theatre is billed in a half-hour time slot, but it's an hour-long show, so the air time of the last two shows are off by a half-hour. I have the correct air times below.

Thanks to J. David Goldin's RadioGOLDINdex for this information:

7 PM EST Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar. November 2, 1955. Part 3. CBS net. "The Valentine Matter". Sustaining. What happens to a thrity year old grudge when somebody explains it with bullets! Bob Bailey, Roy Rowan (announcer), John Dawson (writer), Jack Johnstone (producer, director), Marvin Miller, Jack Moyles, Lillian Buyeff, Betty Lou Gerson, Barney Phillips, Will Wright, Forrest Lewis, Jay Novello. 13:57.

8 PM Gunsmoke. November 14, 1953. CBS net. "Professor Lute Bone". Sponsored by: Post Cereals. The Professor is selling wormseed tonic that cures just about everything, possibly because it contains opium! The script was used again on the program of October 20, 1957, and on the Gunsmoke television series on January 7, 1956. William Conrad, John Meston (writer), Georgia Ellis, Howard McNear, John Dehner, Barney Phillips, Lawrence Dobkin, Paul Dubov, Norman Macdonnell (director), Rex Koury (composer, conductor), Parley Baer, Ken Peters (announcer). 24:42.

Hi Gina, I think you have the list until steel formally asks for it back. How are you? Your week was good?

Like this lineup and Mysterious Traveler...never hear of Box 13.

Box 13 stars Alan Ladd. Great voice. Plays a columnist that solicits "problems" (to Box 13, can't remember at the paper, or PO) so he can solve the mystery, and get a story out of it.

Generally better than most of its genre, IMHO.

Hi, Vision. Yeah, I guess you’re right. Steel’s sources were better than mine, more detailed (I repeat myself), but his would be a welcomed-back re-addition.

Our week was fine. We got a few inches of rain spread out over the week. Still hot, of course, though.

Anything new happening with you up there?

Cool. Didn't know Ladd did radio. His film career spanned the best years of film...’30s ‘40s, and ‘50s.

I think your sources are fine and am thankful you post it.

The week was ok. Found out I'll be in Miami next week for a conference. The lawn company started killing off the grass to begin a rejuvenation.

Any cooking this weekend? Grilled london broil yesterday (tonight's leftovers) and made cherry cobbler.

Your lawn company kills your grass to start over? Wow! I’ve not heard of anyone doing that.

I hope you have a good time in Miami, although you’ll probably work mostly—or conference it, which may be boring; I don’t know. At least you’ll probably get to eat something nice! :-)

We don’t have a barbecue lined up, because we were both lame and didn’t get anything at the store. It’s been a lazy-butt weekend, and I’m slow getting the housework and laundry done today. Even your leftovers sound great—plus a cherry cobbler! YUMMMM!!!! We may do some Bubba Burgers on the grill.

If you restart a lawn I think it's standard to kill off the grass.

If you do Bubba Burgers try putting a pat of butter on them while cooking.

Love the BB's opening theme...sigh...

I love that theme, too! It’s lovely.

We do have some real butter and can try that pat on the Bubba Burgers, which we probably will throw on the grill! Thanks for the tip!

It must be different up there with lawns than down here. Down here, the only time a lawn is replaced is if it is dead or someone just wants new or different grass.

We have installed sod in new and existing yards, and we use a sod cutter to remove any existing grass or weeds, before laying the new sod.

Excellent! Hi, Steel!

Will you resume doing our great synopsis list? That would be super-swell, if you would!

I'm very jazzed about Ryan, Vision. I attended the Competitive Enterprise Institute gala banquet in D.C. in June when he was the main speaker. He was great there too.

Now we get to watch the Dems and their media hacks attempt to destroy him like they did Sarah.

That’s an intense Johnny Dollar!
