The Big Broadcast is a Sunday night tradition for families throughout the WAMU listening area.

Longtime radio personality and The Big Broadcast host Ed Walker passed away early on Oct. 26 at age 83. We invite you to leave your thoughts and remembrances.

Happy Sunday all...the sun is out a little after 5 days of rain...

Hey there...

[WXRGina]

Hi, Vision! Just checking in to say HI. We have company on the way into town, a couple of friends in from Texas. They’ll be here within the hour, so we may be a little scarce this evening.

How’s it going with you?

[Vision]

Life is good. Having a nice beer from NJ.

Did you watch the debate?

[WXRGina]

Yes, we watched the debate. The first thing I said on Facebook was that they had sabotaged his mic. I was right.

[Vision]

I didn’t watch. What’s your take?

[WXRGina]

Trump did well, although he spent too much time on certain self-defensive topics that he could easily have turned around on her. All she did was lie and attempt fake-smile condescension.

[Vision]

In Our Miss Brooks the boys vocally ogle the female teachers. Makes you think...

[WXRGina]

Makes you think they’re normal. :-)

[Vision]

But apparently nowadays the teachers are into it.

[Vision]

You probably missed the announcement:

[WXRGina]

Yes, I missed that announcement, for what it’s worth. HA.

[Vision]

Night Gina...time for the scary stuff

[WXRGina]

Belated good night, Vision! We ended up busy for the rest of the evening with our friends and dinner. I hope you have a good week.

[Vision]

The last hour was great. You should dim the lights or drift off listening to Hall of Fantasy.
