On tonight's program, Courtney will provide further details on his plans to BUY WFMU and turn it into a station for grown-ups. Euneeda Bodenheim will celebrate National Poetry Month, and Gus Bodenheim has a great plan to secure your financial future AND help you sleep better.

Before I have to make a quick bike trip to CVS (don't worry, I'll have the portable radio for the very end of your show), I just wanted to say that the show has yet again been hilarious and with such cool and historic music. Appreciate it all so much as always, and what a treat from Euneeda! All of these characters coming over my radio, along with the music, seems to me to be about the closest I could get to classic radio, before TV. Speaking of which, my brain is working overtime here, so I'm gonna get back to what I was doing. Trying to enjoy the show over the air while watching PBS Newshour, also over the air, all of which I know Courtney appreciates. Dale also got me good with the Dumont reference.

Hello Courtney. As a collector of social security myself, I must commend you on your fine choice of musics from before car stereo. I am so tired of the way out sounds that the youngsters feel it necessary to play at top volume while out driving around looking for drugs and consensual sex partners. I like to stay home, but I still need to leave the house to every now and then to buy stay-dry underpants. What is your opinion of this 'singer' Madonna that had everybody loosing their collective wits? I think she needs to put on more clothes, but that's just me I suspect.
