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 Night...Classic Radio Time...

[WXRGina]

Uh...what do you mean?

Houmatt, Vision knows Keith and I love the "scary" shows like "The Whistler," "Suspense" and "Mysterious Traveler."

Hello, Everyone! We're just getting home from the visitation before the funeral, so I didn't get the synopsis list posted. I hope everyone is doing well.

[Vision]

Good to see you...

[Vision]

They had a tough week.

[Vision]

Cool. It is a great lineup. How you doing?

[WXRGina]

Hi, Onyx! Thank you for accepting my Facebook friend request (Gina Miller). :-)

[onyx]

Happy to be hear here!

[onyx]

Smiling! My pleasure.
I have trouble navigating FB!
I rarely know which little icons to check...LOL.

[Vision]

Hey Gina! A weekend here of lots of projects and low cal foods.

Ed says 10pm is a Lux. A quick search say’s it's a Lux.

[Vision]

Wow...the Lux is about Bastogne.

Diets are a bummer. :-( But projects are good once they’re complete!

I guess they got the lineup wrong. Hope the mysteries are correct, though. :-)

[WXRGina]

I’ve only been on Facebook for just over two years. You get the hang of it, but it’s still frustrating. They’re always changing stuff up.

[Houmatt]

That, and you have to look out for the alligators.
