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.'

Summer is in full swing, isn't it lovely?

Another solid lineup tonight...Benny (the stolen violin, probably hilarious)...Texas Rangers...Broadway is My Beat...and ending with Lux!

How's it shaking?

Hi, Vision! I’ll bet Boston really is beautiful. It’s just the culture there that’s a sewer.

We have some bad thunderstorms around us right now—boom-booming a LOT. We might get some rain shortly.

Otherwise, a usual Sunday. Are you back home now?

Yea, got home Tuesday. The history is something. The taxi driver was like “and John Kerry's house is right over there.” No thanks.
