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.'

Mercedes McCambridge! The voice of the devil from The Exorcist!

Did you know she had to fight to get credit for her work on the film?

Thanks Gina, back home and all is well. Even got the scooter running again. Not liking the cooler temps though...

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.

This is a sad Dragnet. Poor kids, but they’re good kid actors.

There must be a few episodes of JD with the criminals going straight; that's what I was thinking of. Don't remember tonight's storyline.

Yes, pathetic woman.

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.
