A Passover ham.

Here’s the recording of last night’s (2022-04-15) Memo of the Air: Good Night Radio show on 107.7fm KNYO-LP Fort Bragg (CA), ready to re-enjoy.

 

Thanks 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 about an hour of the above show’s most locally relevant material without asking for anything in return. (Though I’m happy to pay $25 annually for full access to all articles and features, and you can be this happy too, or even happier by also helping out KNYO. Speaking of which, KNYO.  While you’re there, tour the new site, freshly bedazzled by webmaster Chris Dunn, with an updated schedule, elegant design and essential new features, such as a red donation heart that encourages you to give at least $20 by at first puzzlingly, but then, you realize, self-respectingly not accepting anything less.

Something else you can do for yourself and others: email me your work on any subject and I’ll read it on the radio this coming Friday night.

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:

Lemonade? or paint thinner? Choose wisely.

Taxidermy fetish turned up all the way. Except, no little mice having tea, nor squirrels playing rugby in thimble helmets. Only industrial-size taxidermy animals and their parts.

This will never work for launching living things into space; they’d be pressed like pressed rats, but for satellites, materials for building in space, etc., great, thrilling, seventy-percent cheaper than using the giant first stage of rockets, and non-polluting. With concept video.

Speaking of which, I found the Popular Mechanics project that item reminded me of.

“I thought radio was a plaything, but now my eyes are opened, and I am making as much as /$15 a week!/” That’s swell, now you can afford to get married; you just have to find a nice girl who likes the smell of a solder pot, linseed oil, hot dusty vacuum tubes. They’re a dime a dozen down on the docks anymore. Rosy lips, child-bearing hips… “Hey! Talkin’ about radio, here, not goils.” He didn’t mean nothing by it. He is just jealous of your good fortune.

Gilbert Gottfried is dead. Here’s a recording of him reading the Bene Gesserit litany against fear and somehow morphing it into the Aristocrats joke.

What? You say you’ve never seen the essential documentary film about the /The Aristocrats/? Here’s your chance. Block out 3.5 hours for this. It’s totally worth it.

Don’t look. You don’t want to read about this. You don’t want to see this. It’s not like you can go back in time and stop it from happening, or keep people like this out of law enforcement, or even think about anything else for the rest of the day.
