Friends, it's Sunday night again and time to relax. Warm up the tubes for another 4 hours of classic radio Americana.

Official OTR blog of "The Big Broadcast" thread:
A remarkably interesting lineup tonight...Lucille Ball in My Favorite Husband...and then three shows I've never heard of, fun..Defense Attorney...Clock...Arthur Godfrey's Talent Scouts...
How's the weekend going?
"The Clock" is a kinda creepy series, if I remember correctly.

Did you know she had to fight to get credit for her work on the film?
How are you?
Yay! You’re all fixed up with the scooter running now. How cool is it there? We’re loving our cooler temperatures, but they’re probably a bit warmer than where you are.
We’re doing fine here, just the usual. No news is good news. It’s a beautiful evening. The hummingbirds are cruising the feeders. The back yard is lovely, and we’re getting ready to do a pork loin on the Green Egg.
It’s in the 60’s now, had to put a sweater on when driving around.
Backyard sounds nice.
Need to eat dinner now but have a bermuda/trump story to tell you...
Ed sounds a little weak.
Didn’t this JD play in the last few months?
Crud! We missed Ed’s intro listening to the last of the Saints game. I don’t think this is a recent Johnny Dollar re-run, but I’ll have to listen to make sure.
I always hope Ed is okay. He’s about 82 or 83 now.
April 23, 1932, Ed’s birthday. He’s 83.
This is a sad Dragnet. Poor kids, but they’re good kid actors.
Yes, pathetic woman.
Gunsmoke!
Oh, man. You’re right. Ed doesn’t sound good. I hope he’s okay. I love him and don’t want anything to happen to him.
AWWWWWW!!! This Gunsmoke about near made me cry!
