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.'

Happy Sunday Night...Classic Radio Time...

[Vision]

No schedule has been posted for tonight...

[Vision]

Good Evening all.

How was NYE? Ready to get back to work? Football is heating up...

[WXRGina]

Hi, Vision! Happy New Year!

It’s back to “normal” after the run of holidays. It’s nice having some days off, but it seems to make going back to work harder. :-)

What’s new? Anything interesting? We’re getting ready for the cold to hit here later this evening.

[Vision]

Hey Gina, you had to love last nights game...

Yep, back to work tomorrow but I'm fine with that. I've rested and bbq’ed my brains out. Even put on a briskest at midnight on NYE. Did you do anything for NYE?

We got about 5” of snow on Thursday, it's cold, will get down to 3 degrees on Tuesday morning.

Last night’s game was a trip! I don’t know what’s gotten into Drew Brees, throwing all those interceptions in the past few games. They won in spite of the turnovers. :-)

We stayed home on New Year’s Eve, as usual. The “cannons” went off at midnight all around our neighborhood, fireworks that sounded like cannons, anyway! I was in bed, not quite asleep, and they startled me pretty good!

[Vision]

Cool. Hope you keep winning. You don’t watch the game right?

Let’s make an effort to get the schedule from Ed in the beginning.

[WXRGina]

We can see some of the games if they’re streaming on the Internet. We had the two games on Keith’s laptop yesterday, but the video stream was about five plays behind the radio. That’s good in that you can hear a cool play then go watch it afterward.

I’ll try to catch what Ed says on the lineup, too.

[Vision]

hehehe, that included my complaint.

[WXRGina]

Good lineup! Charlie McCarthy, The Scarlet Pimpernell (I’m not familiar with the story), Broadway is My Beat, Box 13, and The Mysterious Traveler! :-)

[Vision]

I’ve got...

Johnny Dollar

Dragnet

Gunsmoke

Charlie McCarthy

Scarlet Pimpernel

Broadway is my Beat

Box 13

Mysterious Traveler

[Vision]

Yea, I would have liked more comedy but the last hour is solid.

[WXRGina]

We win! We both got them all! :-)

Yes, I like those last few shows for sure!

[Vision]

Love Dorris Day...

[WXRGina]

Yes, it was! Lovely lady, lovely voice.

[Vision]

This is freaky...

[Vision]

Bing Ping!

[WXRGina]

Yes, it was. The creepy, nutty lady was a weird touch.

Then, we had a Bing Ping! :-)
