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.

July is over. I'm always sad about this...

But an interesting lineup tonight...the cult classic Aldrich Family...an hour of solid B's with Gangbusters and Phillip Marlowe...and a Theater Guild On the Air with one of the greats...Walter Houston...

How's it going out there...

Hi, Vision. It’s been fine. We actually had a nice evening yesterday, one in which it was low humidity with a nice breeze. We haven’t felt that kind of mild evening all summer.

How are you doing?

Good. Watched Citizen Kane outdoors Friday and spent most of this weekend doing projects like lawn stuff and infusing olive oil.

Love this time of the year.

Oh, I missed it. I was out in the garage. I don’t like the Aldrich Family show with the annoying kid voices.

I meant I missed the Jack Benny skit. I heard a little of the Bing, though.

Philip Marlowe's plan for the evening was a quiet martini, a cigarette, and bed.

Awesome.
