The recording of last night's (2017-11-24) KNYO Memo of the Air: Good 
Night Radio show is ready to download for free and enjoy at any time of 
the day or night, via http://MemoOfTheAir.wordpress.com

Or, and this is a new way I'm trying out for you (let me know how well 
it works, and if you like it better) you can just click here and it'll 
open in your browser and begin to play, thanks to Hank Sims of Lost 
Coast Outpost:

But besides that, as usual also at http://MemoOfTheAir.wordpress.com 
you'll find a fresh batch of links to other interesting and educational 
goods I collected for you while putting the show together, to add to the 
literally zillions of wonders and amusements already there, that might 
not necessarily work on the radio because of being mostly visual. Such as:

Flying like in a dream, but real. And the guy's name is really Chandelier.

A story about cars. A ride in an exact replica of the first (internal 
combustion engine) car. I like how when you’re going about ten miles an 
hour in this thing it clearly feels like a fast wild ride, so when the 
lady engineer slightly turns the tiller, the announcer guy, the 
passenger, cries out, /Aaaah!/

And the story of Jacqueline Auriol, the first woman to break the sound 
barrier (in 1953). Read the article and watch both videos. She's so 
wonderful and French.

But, you wanta see flying, look up Svetlana Kapanina, the greatest 
/stunt/ pilot ever. Dead serious, workmanlike, but pay attention just 
before 18 minutes on the clock, where she's throwing her little airplane 
around like a boxer punching a speed bag, and a bug gets on her nose, or 
maybe it's her headset microphone touches her lip, whatever, and she 
flicks it away with her fingers and for just an instant she giggles and 
glances at the camera, at you, and you go, Oh, right, /I'm/ here.

Then imagine anybody being stupid enough to piss Svetlana Kapanina off 
by putting his hand someplace it doesn't belong. Imagine what happens 
right after that.
