Here's the recording of last night's (2022-11-25) Memo of the Air: Good 
Night Radio show on 107.7fm KNYO-LP Fort Bragg (CA):

Thanks to Hank Sims for tech help, as well as for his fine news site:

Thanks to the Anderson Valley Advertiser, which always provides about an 
hour of each of my Friday night shows' most locally relevant material 
without asking for anything in return, going back decades. Further, 
thank tiny bravely struggling KNYO itself (KNYO.org). Find the hidden 
donation heart there and help the station out with a substantial gift 
from your own hidden heart. Or try the new fire-engine-red vibrantly 
healthy KNYO hot sauce, for vim and pep. ("It's toasted!")

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 the 
show together. Such as:

"He only has to paint half the burger because the camera films from just 
one side. A mixture of Vicks Vaporub and pulverized meat helps fill in 
any holes." Well, I bought a Big Mac at a McDonalds a couple of months 
ago for five times what it cost the last time I bought one, but it was 
pretty good, but I was very hungry and there's an old saying: Hunger 
makes the best sauce. The Big Mac was soft and messy and salty and wet 
with something orange, the way I remember a Bob's Big Boy burger was 
when I was little in L.A., and that was nice. This was a very different 
experience from the time I had Taco Bell food once after not going to 
Taco Bell for decades. Taco Bell food is also five times more expensive 
than it was, and also not bad, exactly, but there was something about it 
that didn't sit right, that I can't articulate, and that's my failing, 
not Taco Bell's. Just not what I think of as a real burrito. There used 
to be a Mexican restaurant in Healdsburg that I'd go to sometimes on my 
way to or from The City, where a burrito was no more expensive than 
anywhere else but it was substantial, chewy, flavorful, big enough for 
you to think about maybe not eating it all at once but you'd do it 
anyway. There was a place down in Noyo Harbor for decades –El Mexicano– 
where they had a burrito like that, too. Last time I was there was 
around the turn of the century. Yelp says they're still in business. 
Anyway, sorry, here are food cosmeticians, or rather food /morticians/, 
because you can't eat it after these technicians have tarted up the food 
for its sexy close-up, with turpentine and soldering irons and foot 
powder and melted crayons and so on; all you can do is throw it away. It 
makes me think of businessmen and teevee newspeople and elected 
officials; they all go through a process very like this every time 
before you see them. Even women in makeup all look like 1950s stage 
female impersonators to me... not that there's anything wrong with that. 
Soon it'll all be done with hackable CGI in our replacement eyes, like 
in /Minority Report/.

*Email me your written work and I'll read it on the very next MOTA. I 
don't care what it's about, just if there are swears I have to wait 
until an hour into the show to read it, because that becomes okay then.
