Coming shows can feature your own story or dream or poem or essay or 
kvetch or announcement. Just email it to me. Or send me a link to your 
writing project and I'll take it from there and read it on the air.

Besides all that, at https://MemoOfTheAir.wordpress.com you'll find a 
fresh batch of dozens of links to not-necessarily radio-useful but 
worthwhile items I set aside for you while gathering the show together, 
such as:

A site of simple, video-enhanced explanations for complicated things. 
How the human eye works, for example. How a hard drive and a record 
player and a jet airliner work. How to moonwalk. Much more.

The sound of tattoos. Pickle Rick!

Liquid behavior from dry sand and air. Unlike everywhere else lately 
that someone said enthusiastically to me, "This is the coolest thing 
ever," this in fact is. It reminded me instantly of a movie I saw on 
teevee at my Uncle Jack's and Aunt Wanda's house when I was a little 
boy, that made a profound impression on me, about a boy interested in 
astronomy (as I was), who witnesses from his window a spaceship crash in 
the sand dunes near his house on the edge of town. It turns out to be a 
/trap of boiling, down-funneling sand/ that catches people, including 
his parents and the police, and the aliens do something that turns 
people into bad-dream robots of themselves that talk softly, gently, 
menacingly weirdly. You can tell someone's been taken over, by a tiny 
mark on the skin at the base of the neck (the camera moves to show you 
this, and the music does something tingly but also low). The boy saves 
the world by avoiding capture himself, while getting the U.S. Army to 
come and go down through the sand to the ship and break the glass around 
an alien octopus/brain creature, which kills it and so releases everyone 
from its control.
