Gangway! Hot soup!
“They were careless people, Tom and Daisy. They smashed up things and creatures and then retreated back into their money or their vast carelessness or whatever it was that kept them together, and let other people clean up the mess they had made.”
Here’s the recording of last night’s (2022-01-28) Memo of the Air: Good Night Radio show on 107.7fm KNYO-LP Fort Bragg (CA), ready to re-enjoy.
Thanks heaps to Hank Sims of Lost Coast Outpost here’s a page with not only the above MOTA show but also other ones going back quite a way.
And thanks to the Anderson Valley Advertiser, which provided almost an hour of the above eight-hour show’s most locally relevant material, as usual, without asking for anything in return. (Though I do pay $25 annually for full access to all articles and features, and you should too if you can. As well as, show some largesse once in awhile to KNYO. Why not go there and do it now? (While you’re there, tour the renovated site, rebuilt by webmaster Chris Dunn, with an updated schedule, whole new design and new features, though the mobile version doesn’t seem to agree with my phone. Nice picture of the ocean, though. You can’t see that picture on the desktop site; all the useful stuff is in front of it, such as the essential big red heart.)
Email me your work on any subject and I’ll read it cold on the radio this coming Friday night. That’s a great way to learn to express yourself in writing and be understood. You hear for yourself where to put the commas next time so people don’t think you’re saying the exact opposite of what you want to. You learn to vary sentence length. And so on.
BESIDES ALL THAT, here’s a fresh batch of not-necessarily-radio-useful but worthwhile items that I set aside for you while gathering the show together, found mostly thanks to the fine websites listed to your right:

This reminds me of an old story about a giant ghost ship that became real when a character shone a special light on it, or the moon was exactly right.

But what if you put butter on the ballerina and let her spin off the table onto the carpet? What side will she land on?

Another kind of magnet toy. This, though, you don’t want to leave small children alone with. They swallow the magnets, which can pinch through adjacent folds of their intestines and kill them.
