Here’s the recording of last night’s 8-hour-long Memo of the Air: Good Night Radio show on 107.7fm KNYO-LP Fort Bragg (CA), ready for you to re-enjoy

…

Thanks to Hank Sims of Lost Coast Outpost here’s a page with lots of other MOTA shows going back quite a way. And thanks to the Anderson Valley Advertiser, whimoch often provides as much as an hour of each of these shows’ most locally relevant material, going back decades. And consider KNYO, the Little Lion in Fort Bragg, California. Check out the schedule of other fine shows there. Find KNYO’s shiny red donation heart and help out if you can. All of your help, whether in the jar on movie night or through the heart or by check (to KNYO, p.o. box 1651, Fort Bragg, CA 95437) goes directly to pay the station’s real-life expenses: rent, electricity, water, equipment, and music publisher and streaming fees. Nothing is wasted. They use everything but the squeal.

Coming MOTA shows can feature your story or dream or poem or essay or kvetch. Just email it to me. Or include it in a reply to this post. Or send me a link to your writing project and I’ll take it from there and read it on the air. That’s what I’m here for.

Besides all that, here’s a fresh exhibit of not-necessarily-radio-useful but worthwhile items that I set out for you, mostly found in the fine websites listed to your right…

Bifurcated girls. “Santal-midy: Standard remedy for Gleet, Gonorrhoea and Runnings, in 48 hours. Cures Kidney and Bladder Troubles.” Gleet! You sure don’t want that to get a foothold on your late-1890s-model privates. (via NagOnTheLake)

How to cook steak on your own stove. In case you win the lottery and can afford steak, or, after the collapse, you have some friends with spears and a saw, and the knowledge of control of fire hasn’t been lost.

Pretty College of RKO Radio Pictures, where girls are trained to be employable in the films. It’s about posture, mostly, and being a good sport.

Nostril puppet singer. I can open and close my nostrils like little mouths without using my fingers, like this girl does. One in ten people can. If you like this, there are other nose tricks that you might entertain the little nieces and nephews with, like: get two bright penlights that are just a little bigger around than your nostril holes. You get the kids around you in the dark, turn the penlights on, put them up your nose just a little way, and puff out and suck back in through your nose to make it inflate and deflate. It makes your nose into an orange-ish flashing police car light. (via Tacky Raccoons)

Video of a robot Rubik’s cube solving itself in less than 3/10 of a second. Cheating, possibly, unwinding the way it wound itself up in the first place. Or… starting with it solved, twisting around a little, then running the film backward. That’s how I’d do it.

Plucky star of Wall of Death with appealing Wall of Death attitude. Besides that, it’s time, I think, for a comeback for whitewall motorbike tires. Or spirals of highly contrasting colors on cardboard disks nylon-pull-tied to the spokes.

“And never fly in anything with a Capissen-38 engine. They fall right out of the sky.” The F-35 program is well on its way to costing /one trillion dollars/ by the time they’re finished. A trillion dollars here, a trillion dollars there, and pretty soon you’re talking real money.
