Friends it's Sunday night again and time to relax. Warm up the tubes for another 4 hours of classic radio Americana.
Info *tonight's show will be available at the "Info" link starting tomorrow.
Official OTR Blog of "The Big Broadcast" thread:
Longtime radio personality and The Big Broadcast host Ed Walker passed away early on Oct. 26 at age 83. We invite you to leave your thoughts and remembrances.
Ed Walker spent 65 years on the radio. His last program was unlike any other.
It seems to be an unMemorial Day lineup tonight...something Ed wouldn't do...fun with Our Miss Brooks...Halls of Ivy...I'm really looking forward to Presenting Charles Boyer (who was awesome)...and ending with what seems to be a dramatic Lux...pretty good...
How's it flowing your way?

Charles Laughton...very cool...
I'm loving life how about you?
Hi, Vision. It’s a nice weekend, except Keith’s on call, and he hates that. I’ve been working my rear off cleaning today; got a lot done and am still working. :-)
How’s your weekend? Are you doing any holiday cooking? We’re just doing the grill, as usual, chicken and Conecuh sausage.
Not much cooking...but I am about to make olive oil ice cream. hehehe.
Been planting more veggies. I'm like obsessed. Put in an eggplant today.
Gardening is a very good thing to do! Next, you can try canning, and become a prepper! :-)
Are you kidding about the olive oil ice cream, or is that really a thing?
These JD’s are a shame. The bit players, like Pat McCrackin or such are better actors than Robert Readick.
Oh, yes. I don’t like these Johnny Dollars like the Bob Bailey ones.
I’ll go look that ice cream up. It doesn’t sound good, on the surface.
That’s weird about the ice cream. It sounds like regular vanilla ice cream, but without vanilla extract and with olive oil. Why add olive oil? What makes it special?
The recipe I’m using uses vanilla extract. I love OO. So rich. Will tell you later how it turns out. Like you I don’t know what to expect. (:
Halls of Ivy!
Now that I’ve read a recipe on it at the bon appetit website, it sounds really good. Yes, let me know how it turns out!
Pythagorean theorem love...
