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.'

Hi, Vision! We’ve been working all day, and I just got home. Still more work to do—house work! :-)

How was your week? Anything exciting happening? On the grill?

[Vision]

Evening all. A nice lineup tonight...while there is a Fibber McGee, Barrie Craig will be interesting...and then a Mysterious Traveler ending with an hour long Suspense!

How is everyone?

[Vision]

Hi Gina, I'm good. A relaxing weekend, did some yard work today. Did a Pit Beef cook yesterday which turned out good and am having a burger/sausage from Friday tonight. Beautiful weather the last few days.

How about you?

[WXRGina]

We’re doing fine after Keith lacerated the front of his knee to the bone on Monday while doing yard work. The doctor put staples in it, like Frankenstein! But, with the antibiotics, it’s been healing very well.

Otherwise, we’ve been very busy. Thankfully, he was still able to do the yard work we do, so we didn’t get behind on any of our jobs because of the cut.

I got us a couple of beef rib eyes for the grill this evening. :-)

[Vision]

Sorry to hear about his knee.

If you can, try the reverse sear with some wood smoke on those babies.

[Vision]

Suspense with James Cagney!

[WXRGina]

Yeah! The last two shows oughta be good!

I’ll look those reverse sear instructions up again (Amazing Ribs site has them, too) and see if Keith wants to try that. It sounds like a good way to get a great, tender steak. These are not very thick though, only about an inch and a quarter.

[Vision]

These are not very thick though, only about an inch and a quarter.

That's a thick steak.

[WXRGina]

Then, it might work.

[Vision]

I can’t take it anymore. Will tune back in at 9pm.

[WXRGina]

We tuned out after Gunsmoke to listen to the last few minutes of the Saints game. WHO DAT?! :-)

[Vision]

I like Barrie Craig. Kinda reminds me of a pissed off JD. Tonights BB is sponsored by...

[WXRGina]

Yum! Watch out, or that dark chocolate will keep you awake, unless, of course, you apply some adult counter-beverage...

[Vision]

How did the steaks turn out?

I’m heading to the radio Gina. Have a great week. Enjoy Cagney in Suspense!

[WXRGina]

The steaks are awesome. We decided it was too complicated to do the reverse sear without preparation (pre-dry brine, ect.), so he just did them direct. We’ll try the reverse sear later.

Goodnight, Vision.

[Vision]

Cool. The reverse sear is easy. Let me know if you want to talk through it.

[WXRGina]

Yeah, if you have simple instructions, shoot ‘em to me, and we’ll do it! :-)
