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.'

Afternoon all, I’ve got a dinner to attend and should be back somewhere in Johnny Dollar or Dragnet...we may have a fundraising show tonight...

A classic Big Broadcast lineup...Fibber McGee...detective/spy shows of Philip Marlowe and Man Called X...and ending strong with a Lux...

How’s it going? Sad to see September go...

YUM, Seafood! All is well here. We’re finally getting the nice, soaking rain we’ve needed for quite a while now.

How are you doing?

Things are good. A couple of unsettling weeks at work seem to be calming down.

Been waiting for the hypocrite Pope to shut up and leave. No fundraising tonight eh?

This pope thing is highly disturbing and creepy to me—I mean CREEPY!

Yes! What a FREAKAZOID to do what he did with the water glass—not so-called “holy water,” but just a water glass the pope guy drank from!!! People are nuts.

Ed doesn’t sound very good, still. I feel bad thinking he may not be well.
