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.

Saying Goodbye To Ed Walker

Happy Sunday evening all, it's beautiful outside...

Some Fred Allen...never heard of The Wonder Show...Richard Diamond is classic, love the intro...The GE Theatre with State Fair may be good...and ending with an interesting Good News 1939 (America's cultural peak) and the Wonderful Wizard of OZ...

How's it going?

[Vision]

A printed copy of the WSJ arrived yesterday.

Yikes.

“interesting Good News 1939 (America’s cultural peak)”

Sure did not know my arrival back in 39 was “The Peak”..../sarc

[Vision]

It’s been downhill from there...to the gutter of today.

Hey there, Vision! I see a couple of new guests here on the thread. :-D How’s it going with you?

[Vision]

Things are just fine. Made some great grilled veggies this weekend.

[Vision]

You?

[WXRGina]

Grilled vegetables. They’re good, and good FOR you. :-)

No news here, which is good. Just the usual Sunday, enjoying the evening.

[Vision]

It's a wizard of oz show, which was released nationwide 80 years ago today...Burt Larr on now...the first time the public heard Somewhere over the Rainbow via Judy Garland on at 10pm...
