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.'

Yes, we have to scratch and collect our scalp skin! Mmmmmm! :-)

Vision, we’re doing fine. It’s damp and cool here. Starting to feel winter waking up.

How are you? What were you doing today?

Oh, and this is a good Sherlock Holmes, story, too. "The Woman" who got one over on Sherlock. He kinda fell for her--a little bit. The modern BBC television show take on these stories has a great rework of this story (although it's a bit raunchy). Sherlock really falls for Irene Adler in that show, and subsequent episodes.

Joe got Ben a swiss on rye. I think cheese sandwiches were popular then. I eat them from time to time, love it. Don't hear much about people eating them nowadays.
