Friends it's Sunday night again and time to relax. Warm up the tubes for another 4 hours of classic radio Americana.

An average lineup until 9:30pm, never heard of Arch Obolers Plays...then we hit the sweet spot at 10pm with Suspense! and The Clock (I think was good)...
How’s everyone?
At the time, Sinatra did a song "The House I Live In" which was a manifesto for the coming new liberal society where sharing is caring, and Big Brother Barney the purple dinosaur would rule the land.
Thank you very much. I expect you’re right given our loser SJW host, but I’ll need to check out the regular shows (:
It seems as though he’s toned down his political comments, doesn’t it? Only the occasional insulting remark to remind us how ‘un-pc’ the programming is.
Hi, Vision! I’m late checking in.
Happy Sunday! How’s it going?
One good resource for OTR is archive.org. Zillions (!) of OTR episodes for free downloads.
Thanks for your weekly updates. They are very much appreciated!
I love George and Gracie.
Hey Gina, it’s been a sunny weekend here. Lot’s of errands and relaxation. You? Staying dry?
Yes, he’s not as lecturing as before, but still a loser. It was all about him when he started.
Me too.
We got another 2 1/2 inches yesterday evening. Bad lightning, too. It zotted our ISP gateway’s battery backup, but Keith had a 12 V power supply, and it worked to get us back online.
I did a batch of melt-and-pour goat’s milk soap today in little silicone, flower-shaped cake molds. I had four essential oil smells I used in it. It’s good soap.
He’s insufferable.
The website claims “The show features a collection of vintage radio shows from the ‘30s, ‘40s, and ‘50s” yet Horwitz habitually injects other items, abusing the program and his audience.
Lucky for us, as soon as the Big Broadcast starts, we tune in to 20th Century Radio for Gunsmoke and E.G. Marshall.
He just made a smug vapid remark about Trumps immigration policy. Lol. He’s unworthy to host the program.
Yes, just as I was enjoying the addition of the Texas Rangers, he promotes sanctuary cities. That deserves an email tomorrow. The people were not illegal.
Yes, he’s wholly unworthy. *SPIT!* I can only imagine that Ed would be—at the very least—sad at his conduct.
