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. 
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 not-necessarily radio-useful but 
worthwhile items I set aside for you while gathering the show together, 
such as:

Ads for housewife wine. Before: "It's all right for him... He goes off 
in the morning– and you can see he's anticipating the bustle, the life, 
his day will bring... Problems to sort out, people to talk to, have a 
joke with. Lunch with his friends. Then back to his work, absorbed and 
interested, until it's time to come home... but all you have is an empty 
house. And the same dull round of household tasks. There are times when 
the thought of it takes the heart out of you..." After: "That's better. 
That's lovely."

The Lego-like machinery that powers a single one of up to a hundred 
propellers on a single bacterium. Every human body has 30 to 40 trillion 
bacteria living in and on it. That amounts to quadrillions of these 
whirling machines… In fact, several pounds of bacteria live inside your 
belly. Some people have more, much more. In his last days, John Wayne's 
colon weighed fifty pounds! Think of the entire hot galaxy of busy 
activity in there! (via Cliff Pickover)

And a "public, verifiable record of immigration enforcement activity in 
the United States. It documents incidents, agencies, individuals, 
facilities, vehicles, and legal authorities involved in enforcement 
operations. Entries are structured, sourced, and timestamped to support 
verification, cross-referencing, and long-term analysis. The wiki is 
intended for use by journalists, researchers, advocates, and the general 
public."
