"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.' "

Nope, broadcast wise it’s local to DC so computer only in old El Paso.
But, you can listen whenever you want during the week. Here is last week’s program.

She had written a farewell note that Frank found in her purse. The note could be construed as a suicide note, so Frank throws her to her death from the 14th floor.

A $100 Johnny Dollar expense account? Pretty cheap, I’d say.
Good lineup tonight - The Whistler is almost always really good.
