The recording of last night's (2020-12-04) Memo of the Air: Good Night 
Radio show on KNYO-LP Fort Bragg is right here:

 From a very short way into the show and lasting forty-five amazing 
minutes is Doug Nunn's, Ken Krause's and Marshall Warner's Snap Sessions 
project /Hey! The Irish Persons: the Disappearance of a Storied Folk 
Group./ It's made of Hit and Run Theater material going all the way back 
to /forty years ago/ when this baker's dozen of talented people were 
just starting out and the world was literally their oyster.

Furthermore, at https://MemoOfTheAir.wordpress.com you'll 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:

Wednesday was the 36th anniversary of the 1984 poison-gas negligent 
mass-homicide of an entire city in India by the Union-Carbide 
corporation. The death estimate varies between 3,800 to 16,000, because 
when everyone in town is occupied going blind, coughing up their lungs 
and drowning in their own erupting bodily fluids, no-one's going around 
counting each other, exactly, and afterward there's the problem of /what 
do we do with all these stinking corpses of poor people?/ Bulldoze them 
into trenches, funny you should ask. In all, 600,000 people were 
poisoned. Here's the story of how it all came about in a chain of 
dominoes, each domino representing another point of appalling 
thoughtlessness on the part of Union Carbide (now Dow Chemical) who 
still hasn't made it right to the survivors, many of whom had good cause 
to envy the dead. (1 hour)

All about asteroid strikes. "The thing that most closely resembles a 
meteorite impact is a very large nuclear explosion."

And this. I can't stand this. LOOKATTHEROAD! LOOKATTHEROAD! 
LOOKATTHEROAD! It's bad enough when in a movie or teevee show the driver 
turns to speak intently to the passenger, eye to eye, while the car 
continues at speed. This is ten times as bad as that. This is /crazy/.

p.s. If you want me to read on the radio something that you've written, 
just email it to me and that's what I'll do on the very next Memo of the 
Air. That's what I'm here for.
