Friends, it's Sunday night again and time to relax. Warm up the tubes for another 4 hours of classic radio Americana.
Info *tonight's show will be available at the "Info" link starting tomorrow.
Official OTR blog of "The Big Broadcast" thread:
We have a night of detective and mystery shows (a Gina special?)...some Lucille Ball to start us off with, then solid B detective shows in Richard Diamond and Nero Wolfe...and a mysterious 10pm hour with Molle Mystery Theater and Mysterious Traveler (one of my favs)...
How's it going? It's warm and wall to wall seafood in Baltimore...
Tip of the hat to you. I enjoy old time radio and appreciate these notices.
Another great lineup, thanks!
Gina go AWOL again?
I’m here now. Just had to work a while at the station today, then do the grocery shopping. Now, I gotta work up the synopsis list. Will have it in a few minutes... :-)

Ha!
Hi, Vision. Not too busy. I just put off the radio station work I could’ve done yesterday until today. Keith was off yesterday, so I stayed around the house with him. We both worked today.
How’s your week been? Anything new going on?
Howdy, Viking! :-D What’s exciting going on?
Hey, sorry to hear that. Prayers sent. Good to see you.
Gunsmoke!
Oh, no! I’m so sorry to hear that, Viking. You’ll both be in my prayers.
