"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.' "

I listened to and enjoyed Johnny Dollar, Dragnet and Gunsmoke.

Interestingly, there is another NY station that has their own show called "The Big Broadcast" on Sunday evenings from 8PM to midnight. It's on WFUV (Fordham University), and it consists of music from the 30's and 40's. You can tune in at http://wfuv.org/listen.

Coincidence, or is there some back-story of which I am unaware?
