“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.’ “

“Vic & Sade” tonight, for the first time since I’ve been following The Big Broadcast. V&S are probably not everybody’s cup of tea, but I enjoy ‘em. I believe I heard that there was a great quantity discs of the V&S broadcasts in a storage area that were finally just trashed to open up the space. Tragic if true.

Checking in a few minutes late, because we listened to the radio broadcast of the Cowboys continuing their crummy season...

I love Vic and Sade. They seem to inhabit a parallel universe.

Hello. Looks like tonight is a fundraiser.

Ok this fund raising guy is terrible, needs to go.

Yep. As much as I love the Big Broadcast, I hate the rest of the leftist NPR agenda. That’s too bad...

I have learned to be very selective. My local NPR switched format to heavy news and the programming is not what one would call conservative.

It is sad they need to use the BB and Americana to bring in the money to broadcast Americana destroying propaganda.
