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.'

Anyone know how to pipe the output of these OTR broadcasts from a PC into the Aux port of an old tube radio? I tried it once a long time ago but couldn’t get it to work.

Evening, folks. Look what the wife is negotiating to buy me for Christmas - a 1946 Philco:

It'll need a little touch of restoration, but it's a beaut. I'm going to put it in the living room.

Oh, Vision - I was working on the PC of an 88-year-old, rock-ribbed conservative vet in San Diego on Friday, fixing a few e-mail and malware issues. Our conversation steered to old-time radio. He about cried when I opened his web browser to The Big Show. He had me bookmark it, and he's listening tonight.
