NPR = Never.
KJO, this is not about the libtards of NPR. The Big Broadcast is a long-running, shining example of old-time American radio. It is the exception to the leftist slime of NPR.
Thanks to J. David Goldin's RadioGOLDINdex for these brief synopses.

Hi, Vision. We’re gonna grill a couple of beef steaks, too, strips. What are crash potatoes? Not much going on here.
Rush and Wayne Allen Root both predicted the 49ers and Patriots (but Root made his prediction at the beginning of the season!). We’ll see...
Hi everyone...
http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2008/06/crash-hot-potatoes/
Yep, the ravens are underdogs. We'll see.
Did anyone watch the Lance Armstrong interviews? I saw the whole thing.
Hi, Doc! Did you reschedule your surgery? I hope you’re all better from the flu.
That sounds good, Vision. I have some baking potatoes and sweet potatoes in there. Still have to figure out what to make for a side.
We may be partly listening to the Patriots-Ravens game instead of the Big Broadcast. We’ll see...
“Sing Sing Sing” is one of our big-time favorite songs! It’s a Louie Prima composition, I believe (it has lyrics). Benny Goodman had the smash hit with the instrumental of it.
Cool, I missed it. Just tuned back in...will have to listen to the replay.
Ravens still in the game...
Yeah, we’ve gone back to the game. We listened to Gunsmoke and Goodman, but now put the radio back on football.
The ravens are going to the superbowl. Holy crap. This town will be on fire.
