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 Fourth of July Week all!

We have a good lineup which probably ends with a dud...Our Miss Brooks, Jack Benny, Counterspy...then Ed’s Options which I’ll probably tune out of.

Anybody taking time off this week?

Hi, Vision. Not much happening here. Keith’s watching golf on his computer, and I’m doing—you guessed it—laundry. Got some baby back ribs for the grill.

How about you?

I guess the irony of the 4th of July show at the end will be completely lost on Ed.

Ah, the diet. There’s no real time to end it. It must become “a way of life.” :-/

We’re not planning anything to celebrate Independence Day. At least Keith has the weekend off, for a change, though.

In his mind it’s a grand finale. It’s about himself :)

The diet won’t always be this severe, just need to get to a certain point before I go back to the new normal.

A friend gave me her elliptical machine, and that has helped me immensely! Working it off with some kind of exercise makes a huge difference. I pound that machine, and I’ve lost weight. It’s nice when your clothes start to fit loosely.
