Here's the recording of last night's (2023-02-10) Memo of the Air: Good 
Night Radio show on 107.7fm KNYO-LP Fort Bragg (CA) and KNYO.org:

All the usual stuff and more. Chapters of Kent Wallace's and Clifford 
Allen Sanders' books. A story about Jorge Luis Borges translated to 
English by Louis Bedrock. Further weed-related material of Paul Modic. A 
full hour of local announcements divided by the latest news from Vietnam 
in a call from Kent. A call from Scott. Ronnie James on PEEP. Pebbles 
Trippet update. Charlie Engels. David Gurney apologizes to Mike Sears. 
Suzy Zipp's forwarded astrology info. Poetry. Mitch Clogg. Garrison 
Keillor. World news. (The international situation is desperate, as 
usual.) Medicine. Rockets. Biblical abortion recipes. Mark Scaramella on 
the connection between the U-2 spy plane and Chinese weather balloon 
incidents. Atomic fears debunked. Jim Sears on guns, Teddy Roosevelt, 
and crooked oil corporations.  Roger Waters.  Dream journal section. 
Ezekiel's continuing dog story. A discussion of religious relics: enough 
pieces of the True Cross to build Noah's Ark. And at the end, a 
forty-minute condensed reading, on LP in 1959, recorded on the occasion 
of the book Lady Chatterley's Lover being declared legal to read in the 
United States. It's the very record I played to inaugurate the first 
radio transmitter I ever built, in a coffee can on a plastic pipe with a 
car antenna on top. It was February of 1985. I leaned it up against the 
roof of the electronics lab trailer of the Mendocino Community School, 
put that record on, drove around at like 1:30am to see how far it would 
go, and was gratified to get it loud and clear all over the village, 
down to the headlands, and uphill almost to the grammar school. That was 
the Radio Free Earth transmitter I put up in the spire of Corners of the 
Mouth, connected to an answering machine and a phone line, where anyone 
could call and just be on the radio to do-- whatever they wanted to. It 
worked out great. Eventually, after a month, I was busted and had to pay 
a fine, but the whole thing was totally worth it. That was so long ago. 
That was a year before I even met Juanita.

Here's a link to my dream journal project that I add to at random every 
week or so. I'd like to read /your/ dreams on the radio and I always 
offer to. Just email me.* Or send me a link to your dream journal and 
I'll make a note to go there and check for updates.

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:

A.I. Valentine cards. "Mon Dieu! Not everyone misses me/ And eagerly 
waits to pluck me out of/ The forest of the shadow."

Well, I swan.

And Franky Zapata crossed the English Channel at 100mph on a hoverboard. 
It's so much like National Lampoon's parody of Popular Mechanics, whose 
cover story was Radio Robots Play Ice Hockey On the Moon at 300 Miles An 
Hour! Except this is real; it's done with tiny turbojet engines in the 
box under his feet, and that long pack on his back is a bag full of 
kerosene.

*Email your written work, it doesn't have to be a dream, and I'll read 
it on the very next Memo of the Air on KNYO. I don't care what it's 
about nor even if you can't control yourself from swearing like a 
sailor; most of the show is during Safe Harbor hours when that's okay. 
It's still a free country, or so they say. Find out for yourself.
