The recording of last night's (2019-09-20) Labor Day Weekend Memo of the 
Air: Good Night Radio show on KNYO-LP Fort Bragg and KMEC-LP Ukiah 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:

Some more prose-poetry from Jay Frankston, further chronicles of Craig 
Stehr, the Comtesse deSpair traveled to visit Elly Cooney and have a 
chat (chat's not in the show; that's just cool news), and Alex Bosworth, 
on top of all his other troubles, went to take out the trash, the yard 
light was out, and someone, possibly the meter reader, had left the 
cover off a maintenance box in the ground… oy. Anyway, Alex called from 
the hospital at about 3am Arkansas time and, in spite of the pain 
management medicine for his /broken and recently reset leg/, told a few 
complex off-color jokes with a Yiddish lilt in the flourish. In stage 
magic, that part is called the prestige. With regular jokes it's simply 
the punchline, but in Jewish humor it's properly the /flourish/, the 
right tool for the job. In pronoungraphy* it's the /money shot/. What a 
wonderful language, isn't it? where every category of experience gets 
its own name for the payload, or point, or takeaway, or chorus-and-fade, 
or bangarang. I'll stop now.

Besides all that, at http://MemoOfTheAir.wordpress.com you can find a 
fresh batch of dozens of links to not necessarily radio-useful but 
nonetheless worthwhile educational items I set aside for you while 
gathering the show together. Such as:

Geert Chatrou whistles at TEDx Rotterdam 2010. Greatest whistler, or 
/siffleur/, in all the world.

That ain't workin’. That's the way you do it. You fly the chainsaw 
through the line of trees. Except it /is/ working; it's working great. 
So many moving parts, though. Still, way safer than sending woodsworkers 
up into all those trees to cut the limbs away. That's some of the most 
dangerous work on the planet.

Fracking with an atom bomb. Doo dah, doo dah.

And wait till a quiet time, put on good headphones and test your 
hearing. Mine tops out around six or seven kilohertz anymore. That's not 
good.
