Here's the recording of last night's (Friday 2024-08-02) 8-hour Memo of the
Air: Good Night Radio show on 107.7fm KNYO-LP Fort Bragg (CA) and KNYO.org
(and, for the first hour, also 89.3fm KAKX Mendocino):

Coming shows can feature your story or dream or poem or essay or kvetch or
whatever. Just email it to me. Or include it in a reply to this post. Or
send me a link to your writing project and I'll take it from there and read
it on the air. That's what I'm here for.

Besides all that, at https://MemoOfTheAir.wordpress.com you'll find a fresh
batch of dozens of links to worthwhile items I set aside for you while
gathering the show together, such as:

How we get a historically accurate crossbow.

A.I. ballet. The caption of the video implies that there's something wrong
with this performance. I disagree. I like it more than the usual kind.

This is the way cars should be, and way less like the enormous heavy
poor-driver-visibility poor-gas-mileage pickup trucks all over the place
anymore, driven by people with little tiny heads sitting way up high
inside, peeking over the window ledge like handpuppets, who yell /Asshole!/
at you for innocently absent-mindedly pulling into a parking spot they were
waiting for so they wouldn't have to waddle an extra fifteen steps to get
into Costco to get their odor-eater stretch pants, Kirkland wine, and a
crate of 7,000 AAA batteries for their fallout shelter. Parking lots could
be just a ring around the store and not as big as a whole international
airport. And /so what/ if it only goes forty miles an hour. Science has
shown that forty is the highest speed a human can safely think and attend
to drive at, and never hit a deer. Mainly, though, look at how delighted
this car reviewer is to test it. He is off his head with happiness at how
perfect it is. This could be all of us. Cars could be cheap, practical and
fun. There is just no reason for a one-or-two-person transportation car to
fill a wide lane and weigh three tons.

And this reminds me, thirty years ago they had a deejay at KZYX who had the
most on-purpose-yet-sweetly-sincere-sounding lisp you ever heard, like
Helen's lisp in the book The World According to Garp. It was a cute thrill
to hear her I.D. the station, deliver news and weather, pitch for
donations, etc. You don't hear people with so-called speech impediments
much in broadcasting anymore, and that's a shame. (via b3ta)
