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.'

Hi everyone

[odawg]

Yesterday I bought an antique radio, probably about 1930. Cleaned and polished and works great. The tubes do have to warm up.

[WXRGina]

Wish I were “there,” but I don’t know that we’ll be tuned in here at Mom’s.

[TBP]

We miss Ed, but the show’s still good.

You’re going to miss the new “mather” :)

They are breaking away for Obama at 8!

[WXRGina]

Unbelievable! These NPR libtards make me puke.

[Viking2002]

Crap. My work schedule changed. I start earlier, but I gotta work Sundays now. This ought to be a fun listen. LOL

[Vision]

Evening...

[Vision]

Cool. Can you post a picture?

[Vision]

We'll keep the home fires burning...

I listened to Obamalamadingdong until he started blaming guns. Until that point he sounded like an insecure little boy trying to keep people from knowing he's a failure; and then he wants to start telling others what to do next...

[Vision]

Hey. So are you listening?

[Viking2002]

Trying to, but Vegas and Virginia Beach aren't giving me any relief. How can so many people find so many ways to trash their computers? It's unending......

[Vision]

It doesn't surprise me.

Oddly, they're restarting the BB at 9pm est. 15 of Obama trying to save face and then 45 of vapid analysis.

[Vision]

Starting back up with GS!

Gunsmoke on now.
