Friends, it's Sunday night again. Warm up the tubes for another four hours of classic radio Americana...
*tonight's show will be available at the "Info" link starting tomorrow.
Evening all. Hope your weekend is great. Did lots of landscaping work around here with some thunderstorms expected tonight.
Interesting lineup. Not expecting much from Anderson Family but Mr. Keen is new to me and we close strong with an hour long Suspense...
We have a Suspense with William Conrad and Eddie Bracken. :-)
Ed may be replaying the first part of the new Johnny Dollar series from last week, or it's an incorrect entry. I have included the synopsis of part 3, in case the WAMU entry is in error.
Also, the Anderson Family episode listed is the same one he played a couple of weeks ago. Don't know if he's re-running it, or what.

You had me at William Conrad in Suspense...
Hi Gina, how are you? I take it the severe weather isn’t effecting you?
Hi, Vision. We’ve only had heavy rain (about 2 3/4 inches in the past few days, mild thunderstorms—nothing severe, though. We may get some more rain moving in off the Gulf and/or developing on top of us. I see some on the radar around us now.
It was so, so sad about those three storm chasers getting killed by the tornado. Very sad.
You said you guys are looking at some potential storms up there. How’s the weather looking now?
I wonder what’s up with the WAMU schedule, kinda funky with the Anderson Family and Johnny Dollar repeats.
WAMU is run by funky liberals so situation normal. It's reassuring to know you're on top of it.
I just found more full time otr radio stations. Happy days!
I like a “nice” thunderstorm very much!
You may have missed my comment to you last week about our Internet radio, a Grace Mondo. We got ours on Thursday. If you would, let me know the OTR stations you’ve found, and we’ll add them to our radio and Keith’s Mom’s, too.
All I did was search on the grace site for otr and more popped up. This is the latest one but there may be more.
Oh, I must have missed your reply, maybe too many beers blurred my vision.
The Grace search function is awesome. I thought you might have some recommendations. Thanks for this one.
Thanks, Vision!
Keith, here’s Vision’s OTR reply for our Grace radio that I overlooked from last week:
Yes, this is the greatest radio ever. On mine I have the local AM/FM channels, antioch, kbrd (old music), wamu, wavs (a Caribbean station in miami), wxqr (nyc classical radio), and WWUS (key west radio).
On stream I have some Italian stations, 1920’s network, bbq central (bbq radio).
“Obie Tater”
Obie is the name of one of our cats.
Obie Tater has a way with the ladies.
Yeah, he’s pretty ham-handed.
Man, I love Ed! “See what happens when an old guy loves a young girl. It never works...”
Yea. But how young is too young? I’ve heard it should be half the age + 7.
HAHAHAHA!!! Yes, this is a fairly “relative” deal.
Greatest commercial ever.
