The recording of last night's (2021-11-05) Memo of the Air: Good Night 
Radio show on KNYO-LP Fort Bragg (CA) is right here:

Email me your writing on any subject and I'll read it on the radio next 
week. That's what I'm here for. If it's more than plain text, please 
provide a link to the media you want me to see or hear, rather than 
attach it.

BESIDES ALL THAT, at https://MemoOfTheAir.wordpress.com you'll find a 
fresh batch of dozens of links to not necessarily radio-useful but 
nonetheless worthwhile items I set aside for you while gathering that 
show together. Such as, for instance:

The devil’s ball. (1933, 35 min.)

A great question, Konnor.

The way I remember it, it goes, “If cows had a god, god would be a big 
cow.” I looked up /if cows had a god/ and it turns out to be Xenophanes 
(say zeh-NOFF-uh-nees) who said, “If oxen and lions had hands and could 
paint with their hands and produce works of art, as men do, horses would 
paint the forms of the gods like horses and oxen like oxen. Each would 
represent them with bodies according to the bodies of each. So the 
Ethiops make their gods black and snub-nosed; the Thracians give theirs 
red hair and blue eyes.” He also said (2,500 years ago), “The sea is the 
source of water and the source of wind; for neither would blasts of wind 
arise in the clouds and blow out from within them, except for the great 
sea, nor would the streams of rivers nor the rain-water in the sky exist 
but for the sea; but the great sea is the begetter of clouds and winds 
and rivers.” Shmot fella, that Xenophanes. Shmot.

In Istanbul, not Constantinople, this big dog rides public transport 
--buses, trains, ferries-- and goes wherever he may please. The whole 
town knows him; they pet him and play with him and give him food. The 
place is crawling with stray dogs, but this one is the king of all of 
them. He isn't even especially nice; the İstanbullu (that's the word for 
people of Istanbul) just decided by a hive-mind process that he's the one.

Similarly, ladies and gentlemen, capitalism has a winner!
