Official OTR blog of "The Big Broadcast" thread:

Spring, Spring how wonderful is spring!
We’ve got a tax themed show tonight and while that could be really funny we’re got a collection of B level shows. Most curious seems to be Marriage in the closing spot. Interesting...
How ya feeling?
Is this on I heart radio?
lol, hey there.
Not sure, don’t think so. You can’t use the listen live link?
no music ... should I play a stairway to heaven?
have discovered ... there is nothing that could be considered an invention .... Aliens Hate Me!

Kudos Vision ... How Long?
It's tax time with Ed Walker! :-)

So are your taxes in?
Hey, well that’s all good stuff anyway.
In Usenet's RFC (rec.food.cooking) one thread is about the cuisine that was on the Titanic (sunk 4/15/1912).
Don't know any Titanic shows off the top of my head, but "Escape!" had the "SS San Pedro" for a ship sinking.
Yeah, I did them last month.
How are you doing?
Fun, fun, fun! Happy Egging, Viking! :-)
I’m great. Taxes were done early...and the refund was small! No spring trip to Bermuda ):
Heading out for a scooter ride in a minute and will be back by showtime.
Another week blew past...you?
