Here's the recording of last night's (2022-10-21) 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 well over 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 if you can find it in /your/ corazon, 
find the big red donation corazon at KNYO.org and put twenty or more 
toward sorely needed replacement equipment. That would be so great. If 
you were never a special person before, you are a special person now. Or 
buy some KNYO hot sauce. ("It's toasted!")

Last night's show, on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the 
so-called Cuban Missile Crisis, had and has new features for you to 
discover, as well as timely local election and health information, some 
poetry by Notty Bumbo, D.H. Lawrence, and David Gurney, stories by Molly 
Bee, David Herstle Jones, Sebastian Iturralde, Paul Modic of 
Laytonville, Nona Smith, Tony Bourdain, and lots more; the usual 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 recount an encounter with a bellicose 
Russian cheerleader in Vietnam. Andrew Scully called to cast an 
unflattering light on our town's historically malodorous namesake, 
General Braxton Bragg, and also to list some of the recent 
sex-and-violence-related shenanigans of Ukiah's Finest. Some 
corazon-related music, mostly after David Jones' story about a corazon 
attack in Zihuatanejo, and, uh, like that.

BESIDES, 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:

Cosplay winners showcased in an arresting video style. Also: this all 
looks like back to normal, to me. I hope we don't get another tidal wave 
of disease this year because of a huge number of people defiantly 
refusing their shots for anything and also not wearing a mask. Domino 
masks don't count, nor would a Daredevil mask, though owl-bear or 
Spiderman or Rorschach masks might, depending on the fabric.

Menopause, myth or hoax? (via Redwood Mary, candidate for Fort Bragg 
City Council.)

And: /Half man, half ant! Mant!/ (The whole short film. 15 min.) "Oh, 
Bill, if you could only listen to the man and leave the insect aside." 
"Insecticide?! Where?"

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.
