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.'

Happy Sunday all! Go Royals!

Well folks, what can be said. Ed's left us. We're in transition. But the Big Broadcast and Ed's spirit lives on. A good and fairly typical lineup tonight...the standards...Our Miss Brooks...Nightbeat...This Is Your FBI is good...and ending with a Lux from ‘42.

How you doing?

Evening, folks. I'm cooking a big pan of Jaeger Schnitzel in peppercorn cream sauce with spaetzle on the side (and drinking a doppel-bock while I'm at it - our annual Oktoberfest dinner) while the missus is making some very beautiful Christmas wreaths and ornaments from the bounty of pine cones on our property. With an assist from Hobby Lobby, as well. The pine cones grow on trees, but the wire wreath frames and other doodads don't. *chuckle*

Who is hosting? It would be nice to get everyone’s take on the transition... I am no longer in the market.

A fellow named Rob Bamberger. He's certainly not Ed, but he seems a pleasant enough host.

How’s things?

I’m glad Rob is filling in but fingers crossed on the replacement.

Hi, Vision. It’s nice and wet here. We’ve had over 2 1/4 inches of rain this weekend. It looks like it will let up here in a bit, so we can grill some hamburgers.

Yeah, I also wonder who in the world they will find to replace Ed.

How’re you doing?

Hi, Viking! I don’t even know what it is that you’re cooking, but with peppercorn cream sauce, I’ll bet it’s YUM!

Well, we're under a flood watch, it's been raining since last night, and they're calling for up to four more inches before it clears. So, we lit some fall harvest candles, started dinner, and we're making the best of it inside. German soul food, some adult beverages, and things to keep idle hands busy. It fascinates the cats that we're both home and in the same room for a change. It's like a petting zoo out there. LOL

Good. Only had 24 trick or treaters last night. Am glad the Royals will beat the Mets. Grilling london broil for dinner. Leaves are falling, somewhat damp today...

Yeah, but now she's out there with her laptop and watching Law & Order, or something. As a side note, I just saw that Senator Fred Thompson just passed away.....
