"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.' "

Liking this lineup. The JD based in Baltimore continues, some good programs ending with a Lux.

Good Evening.

Hi Gina, how was your weekend?

I’ve been praying for rain, and it’s been cloudy but nothing so far...keeping fingers crossed for tonight.

Hi, Vision. Our weekend was busy, as usual lately. We worked our butts off yesterday doing several yards.

Today, it’s laundry and Walmart. I bought the stuff to make a couple of recipes in a little cook book—pizza lasagna casserole and Tex-Mex chicken and rice (in a slow cooker).

There are spotty storms around you like we've had down here--all around us. I hope you get some good rain without the power outages.

I like hickory best as it’s heavy enough to stand up to the marinade. Glad you like it. It gets better in the fridge and freezes well.

Sad to have JD’s partner die. Next week should be good.

I can't remember another OTR program in this many parts.

It gets better in the fridge...

It surely does! We had leftover pieces that I pan-seared to heat them up two days later. MMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!! to the power of ten.

I sent the recipe to my Mom so she and my Granddad can make it on a Sunday.

We've talked about it before but, for the life of me, I have no idea why they don't make commercials like the sugar cereal one anymore. Most today are so bad and personal I have to mute them.
