Here's the recording of last night's (2022-10-14) Memo of the Air: Good 
Night Radio show on 107.7fm KNYO-LP Fort Bragg (CA):

Thanks to Hank Sims for all kinds of tech help, as well as for his fine 
news site: https://LostCoastOutpost.com

Thanks to the Anderson Valley Advertiser for providing about an hour of 
the show's most locally relevant material, as usual, without asking for 
anything in return. Just $25 a year for full access to all articles and 
features (TheAVA.com). And find the big red donate-now heart at KNYO.org 
and put twenty or more toward sorely needed replacement equipment. Or 
don't. I don't wanta put any pressure on you to do the right thing and 
have you get all panicky and sprain your clicking finger. Take a breath. 
You're okay.

Last night's show had and has new features that you'll discover, as well 
as the poetry of Louis C.K. and Caitlin Johnstone and my mother Evelina, 
stories by Paul Modic of Laytonville, Bruce Anderson, Sebastian 
Iturralde, Ted Chiang, Chelsea Manning, Ezekiel Krahlin; two chapters of 
both No More My Echoing Song by Clifford Allen Sanders and Kent 
Wallace's new book, a work in progress: Mister Westerner. Speaking of 
whom, Kent Wallace called to talk about the importance of pronunciation, 
and about the ongoing Vietnamese diaspora, an ancient Greek word for 
breathing out, and then breathing its young population back in again 
with a little money saved up, which makes a sound in both directions, 
like a giant harmonica, from the Latin: harmonicus. Rounded to a close 
with the earliest surviving recording of the Green Hornet 1940s radio 
series, in all its barking and shouting and seminal radio karate chop 
sound effects, not to mention the roar of the Black Beauty, safe at 
speeds beyond any normal automobile, partly because of Kato's driving 
skill but also its enormous power. The engine is fully two-thirds of the 
car. Kato has to sit on a telephone book to see over it. I'll play some 
more from the original radio serial in future shows.

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:

This website uses A.I. to generate a title, a plot, and an impressive 
poster for a brand-new imaginary movie every time you refresh it. And 
you can save the posters and synopses as links.

Play Kung Fu Chess online, a game engineered by the polymath 
writer/artist of Existential Comics.

I like the way Mickey Rooney looks at the flexible girl not with coarse 
lust but with calm admiration and respect, including of course the 
healthy young man's /that's for me!/ component. Just a small motion of 
his head as his imagination goes to work on what he's seeing and what it 
implies. He is us. He is the viewer beholding a marvel. (via Everlasting 
Blort)

And zero to 62mph (100kmph) in less than 1.5 seconds. You can't even 
fall 40 feet in that time. If you fall for 1.5 seconds you're only going 
30 miles an hour at the end. This is that much faster than the 
acceleration of gravity. Vehicle tech is leaps and bounds beyond our 
ability to think and steer anymore. I remember a science-fiction story 
set in a future where it's a capital offense to take over from your car 
and drive it yourself, because you can't anymore. They catch two boys 
who went out joyriding in a car with the car's driving brain 
disconnected, and they have a five-minute court trial, execute them and 
recycle their reckless and foolhardy remains.

P.S. Email me your work on any subject and I'll read it on the radio 
next Friday night. If it's full of swears I have to wait till after 10pm 
to read it, that's all.
