Subject: Hinged.

Marco here. Here's the recording of Friday night's (9pm PST, 2026-01-23) 
eight-hour-long Memo of the Air: Good Night Radio show on KNYO.org, on 
107.7fm KNYO-LP Fort Bragg (CA) and also, for the first three hours, on 
89.3fm KAKX Mendocino, ready for you to re-enjoy in whole or in part. 
Having made a mistake the night before and lost a dozen links to 
material I had tagged to bring, exactly six hours into this show I began 
to read instead one long story about the end of everything, The Metric, 
by David Moles, from The Year's Top Hard Science Fiction Stories (Book 6).

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:

Horns, reeds and voice. You know who could sound like this when she was 
fifteen years old? Midnight, in a band called Surrender, at the old 
Mendocino Community School in the early 1980s. There were a lot of 
amazing kids there who went on to do great things. Rain Equine could 
also sing like this.

The Torment of Saint Anthony, by twelve-year-old Michelangelo di 
Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni. With explanatory video.

A pirate queen. "She runs the confederation like a CEO with cannons. 
Nothing moves without her signature, injured pirates get health care, 
brave ones get bonuses, and the accounting is impeccable."

And a most realistic miniature fire.
