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.'

Frantically tunneling out of snow in Baltimore...it's Sunday night again...

Not all that excited about tonight's lineup...am most interested in the Chase & Sanborn Hour which seems new- this will probably be really good or really bad.

How's it swinging?

At least you could make a snow man if you wanted to, Vision. :-) But, I’m sorry you’re still frozen in up there. That’s no fun for the weekend. I hope you’re doing well otherwise.

We just got back from visiting Keith’s Mom. Now it’s laundry time! Yay!

Howdy, Houmatt! the Archive website looks like it has episodes of “Mr. District Attorney,” here: https://archive.org/search.php?query=mr.%20district%20attorney%20AND%20collection%3Aradioprograms

I don’t remember ever hearing Ed play any of those episodes, though.

Are you feeling better today? I hope so.

Yes, I saw it years ago, I guess maybe when it was still in theaters. Powerful.

No, it wasn’t a very good one. I had a hard time following it, because I missed the part where the bad guy got in the car with them.
