/"Just wait until conspiracy theorists discover they're part of a 
conspiracy to use conspiracy theorists to spread disinformation via 
conspiracy theories."/

The recording of last night's (2021-11-26) 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.

This show: Kent Wallace on Viet Nam opportunities (and the first 
serialized installment of his 2020 novel). Part 2 of David Herstle 
Jones' new book-in-progress. Craig Stehr update. Train-ride company 
prematurely declares Fort Bragg (CA) land grab (*see below) fait 
accompli. An overview of faux pas (plural, say fo-POZ) of everyone from 
dictators to philosophers to police to birthday party clowns. Jill 
Sobule's I'm A Monster. Poetry of D.H. Lawrence, Notty Bumbo, Douglas 
Coulter. Ada Jones, William S. Burroughs. Tommy Wayne Kramer on the true 
creepy Manson Family story. Covid conspiracy lunacy further debunked. 
Harper's, Molly Bee, and on and on, from microbes to ancient galaxies, 
from mushrooms to meatballs, until the 1942 Weird Circle radio play 
/What Is It?/

FURTHERMORE, 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:

Fiddler on the Roof, free, the whole megillah. "Even a poor tailor 
deserves a little happiness." (3 hours) It reminds me: the dream scene 
in Gloriana Opera Company's middle-1980s production of this was 
wonderful and terrifying, with the ghost of angry grandma careening 
around on ten-foot stilts, real bats... I think half the people in town 
were in that show. Small town, but still.
