"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.' "

Hello Gina. How did your article go?

The Jimmy Stewart program is as good as it gets.

Vision, please ad me to the ping list...

I love these old radio shows... I have digital copies of every "Shadow", and just about every broadcast of "The Campbell's Soup Theatre" and "The Mercury Theatre." I also have many of the old "Amos and Andy" shows... I intend to broadcast them nightly (in order) from my low power (1 milliwatt, part 15) AM transmitter - it is under construction. When completed, everyone within about a mile will be able to pick up my broadcast. Run through my computer, the broadcast will consist of big band music from the 30's through about 1945, along with period radio ads (like Bromo-Seltzer, etc.) during the day. At night, the system will select the different radio dramas. Why go to all this trouble? First, it's quality entertainment. Second, anything else coming out of my 1938 Zenith Console or my 1941 Zenith table model is just pure anachronism that I cannot stand. Those old radios are just meant for the "good stuff", not the garbage played on so many stations today.

Regards,
Raven6

Yes, that will be swell for the last hour!

Both articles for this week got me attacked and supported, as usual. Tuesday’s piece about the man trying to break into the LPGA brought the screeching pro-homosexuals out of the woodwork, and the comments below the article are indicative of how those people react to any criticism of their lifestyle: (blog pimp alert!) http://www.dakotavoice.com/2010/12/lpga-in-lockstep-caves-to-radical-homosexual-agenda/

On Thursday’s column, I went after Al Sharpton for lying about Rush Limbaugh, so I received more flak and more support, yet again: http://www.dakotavoice.com/2010/12/al-sharpton-to-fcc-take-%e2%80%98racist%e2%80%99-rush-limbaugh-off-the-air/

It was another usual week at the keyboard! Thank you for asking, Vision!

Because you have taste and are a rock star. I'd be your number 1 listener.

It's amazing people are attacking you for those articles. I love the comment “attacking the transgendered is not acceptable Gina.” Where do you even begin with a loser like this? You don't, you defeat them as Rush says.

Have you heard the It's a Wonderful Life program before?

If I remember correctly, they had been doing it many times on stage or for the radio before the movie. And Stewart (a personal hero) talks about how tough the schedule of promoting the movie is. Pure priceless Americana.

Yes, I heard the Lux version a few years back. Also the Screen Director's Playhouse version from 5/8/49 also with Jimmy Stewart. Stewart is from Indiana .... Indiana, Pennsylvania, where there is a college that at one time was known as "Indiana State Teacher's College (of Pennsylvania)". Another in the state teacher's college system was located in California, Pennsylvania ... "California State Teacher's College (of Pennsylvania)".

That’s great, Raven! Wish we lived close to you! :-)

My husband collects antique radios, and our favorite one is a beautiful 1936 Atwater Kent, model 725, and it works! The sound is so warm and rich. Here is a link to a picture of it: http://atwaterkentradio.com/ak725.htm
