Yes, the Archive website is a good one.
The Big Broadcast is special because Ed Walker hosts it. Ed is a national treasure, and we enjoy his commentary in between programs and his programming traditions.
Thanks
Hey Gina, what’s shakin’?
Vision, we’re just sweatin’ our heads off! It’s very humid and hot. No news much this week. We got close to six inches of rain, though. I love my rain gauge!
How about you? Everything fine?

Darn the double-post! I don’t do that often.
Have you heard anything else from Viking, since the FReepmails right after the fire?
“Ed is a national treasure, and we enjoy his commentary in between programs and his programming traditions.”
Yes, he’s a big reason I listen too.
It was a good but slightly stressful week. I gained a hand me down car from the family, but it broke down and caused a lot of drama. Then was about $2k to get fixed. However it's all good now.
Wow, a mixed blessing! I could buy a car for 2k! :-)
You and me and Keith all three soaked shirts (and everything else we were wearing) with sweat today.
This is hilarious.
He was a talented guy!
Oh, it’s beautiful. “Song for a Summer Night” is perfect for tonight, in the twilight of our nation.
Yea, I want to go hang out on the porch or deck and listen to that over and over.
I want to get the record and everything they ever did, and the Four Preps, too.
We’ll add it to our music library.
