Subject: Empire Builder programs
Folks;
I'm putting out the call for any of the nine surviving "Empire Builder"
programs (Elizabeth McLeod, on her Early Radio page at
[removed]~[removed] lists the following dates:
11/30/30, 12/22/30, 12/29/30, 1/5/31, 1/12/31, 1/19/31, 1/26/31, 2/2/31, and
2/16/31) - if any of you have any of these shows and can provide them to me
in pretty much any format, I will cheerfully podcast them on the Nostalgic
Rumblings blog at [removed] so everyone on the list (and on
the Net, for that matter) can enjoy them.
Charlie
