The Big Broadcast is a Sunday night tradition for families throughout the WAMU listening area.

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.

Happy Sunday all.

This might be the most detective heavy lineup in BB history...am liking ending with the Orson Wells Theatre...

How are things?

[WXRGina]

Mark Dillon? Is that supposed to be Matt’s brother or something? :-D

How’s it going, Vision?

[Vision]

I'm guess it's NPR’s ignorance which they have plenty of.

I'm good. Had some family in. Ate crabcakes. Now it's time to relax. You?

[WXRGina]

Mmmm! Did you make the crabcakes, or go to a restaurant for them?

We’re fine. It’s unusually cool here, but we looked at the temperature map, and it’s warmer where you are!

[Vision]

Restaurant, Pappas. Yep, we got to 70f this past week, 60f yesterday, but only 50f today.

[Vision]

I missed what Murray said...but Mark Dillon may have been an experiment to make Matt Dillion sound tougher...it’s another actor (not as good) as the sheriff on this episode...interesting, will have to go back to hear the introduction.

[Vision]

It was the unaired GS pilot.

[WXRGina]

Yeah, we tuned in to the Big Broadcast and caught the last part of that Gunsmoke. You’re right that the other guy wasn’t as good. Plus, the audio was muddy.

[Vision]

It’s Doris Day’s bday, she’s 97.

[WXRGina]

Oh, bless her heart! :-)

[Viking2002]

'Nite, everyone.

[WXRGina]

Ooooh! I love that pretty gif, Viking! Thank you! :-)

[Vision]

I like it, thanks!
