[Kzyxtalk] Landmine coffee.

[Marco McClean]

The recording of last night's (2018-10-05) KNYO Fort Bragg and KMEC 
Ukiah Memo of the Air: Good Night Radio show is available by one or two 
clicks, depending on whether you want to listen to it now or download it 
and keep it for later and, speaking of which, it's right here:

Dynamic Zachary Friedley came to talk about his mission to provide 
prosthetics for landmine survivors, and of course I interrupted him 
mercilessly like an idiot. I don’t know why I do that, but at least 
he'll be prepared for future interviews on the international stage where 
they do it right, and he promised to call in reports from India, so 
there'll be plenty of other chances. Paul Katzeff's Thanksgiving Coffee 
Company is even coming out with Landmine Coffee to support Zachary in 
his project.

Kay Rudin and I chatted about various shared and unshared history. 
You'll especially like her story about 1979-era Donald Strauss (R.I.P.) 
theatrically and stark-nakedly distracting the entire Willits police 
force while Kay and the rest of the Gloriana Pirates of Penzance cast 
and crew got away clean in the night. Thomas walked in and brought me 
the very dictionary definition of a /superior/ hamburger, handmade with 
his own startlingly long piano-playing hands. Also he spontaneously 
developed a really entertaining, insightful and bravely revealing rant 
about the emotional hierarchy and pecking order in bars. Alex called to 
talk about David Lynch using a booth in Bob's Big Boy for an office, and 
how he met him once and did his David Lynch impression and David Lynch 
didn't bat an eye. And there's a great deal of other valuable 
information on various subjects in a rather more coherent, if slightly 
nervous-sounding, order than usual.

Last part of the show: the entire live recording of Maureen Martin's and 
Bronwyn Falcona's brand-new play about phone sex, from the test reading 
at Helen Schoeni Theater. It's the next day now and I'm still a little 
gaziggled. It takes a longer every time to recover from accomplishing 
the show. I guess now that I'll be 60 in a few weeks I'm not 25 anymore. 
They'd really better schedule Memo of the Air on KZYX before I need a 
walker to get around. I've been waiting patiently exactly 344 fricking 
weeks for that, and though it annoys everyone when people say just 
saying: just saying. Get on the stick, Alice. What else have you got to 
do? What is more important, that's been more important for coming up on 
seven years?

IN OTHER NEWS: Also at http://MemoOfTheAir.wordpress.com you can find a 
fresh batch of dozens of links to not necessarily radio-useful but 
nonetheless worthwhile items I set aside for you while gathering the 
show together, things where just hearing about it wouldn't be enough. 
Such as:

A short film about teleportation.

The Kavanaugh thing. You haven’t been paying attention because it’s a 
shitshow, and later on when some small person climbs up onto your knee 
to ask you about it you’ll be glad you watched John Oliver, here, 
explain it all in just half an hour, so you can answer.
