“In my parents’ general view, new things were better than old, and the very fact that some ritual had been performed in the past was a good reason for abandoning it now. Because what was the past, as our forebears knew it? Nothing but poverty, superstition and grief. ‘Think for yourself,’ Dad used to say. ‘Always ask why.'” -Barbara Ehrenreich

Here’s the recording of last night’s (2018-11-30) KNYO and KMEC Memo of the Air: Good Night Radio show ready to enjoy. (Left-click for instant-play. Right-click to download.) And thanks to Hank Sims of Lost Coast Outpost here’s a page with the latest show and also other ones going back about a couple of years. And you can go to Links To Recorded Audio, see above, and just traipse awhile, smelling the smells of childhood, remembering the way things used to be before everything went to Hell in a boat.

Besides all that, here are links to a few maybe not radio-useful but worthwhile educational items that I set aside for you while gathering last night’s show together, found mostly thanks to the fine websites listed to your right:

I was looking for different versions of /Mother Machree/, and somehow stumbled upon this woman’s recordings of other old Irish music. There’s something special about this. I can’t really describe it. And 23 views! Make it 24.
