Nineteen Thirty-Two (January 26, 2007)

RADIOLA! RETURNS TO WHCL FRIDAY 1/26/07 @ 8 PM ET

After what has seemed way too long a break from broadcasting, RADIOLA! will return to the airwaves (and the WHCL internet stream) this Friday at 8 PM. Owing to many interesting occurrences in my bailiwick, I haven't quite nailed down a playlist yet. But I shall--at least in time for Friday's show.

More Variety from the RADIOLA! Vault

WHCL still hasn't signed on for the new season, but I have sought to eliminate listener boredom by posting four shows from my archives on my RADIOLA! Live 365 station, replacing those that I felt had run out of shelf-life. I'll be posting those I replaced soon on a-infos radio project for those who absolutely have to hear them again.

RADIOLA! should be a bona-fide RADIO program again very soon. So help me!

"Sing a New Song" January 4, 2007

(Week 67)

WHCL is on break, but Live365 isn't. Thus I added a show in homage to the new year, with recent shellac acqusitions and recordings on a "new" theme. WHCL broadcasting should resume soon--but this should tide you over until then. Happy New Year!

RADIOLA! ON CLEANING HIATUS--INTERNET SHOW SOON!

Since WHCL shut down for Winter Break two weeks ago, I've been remiss in not adding any programming. I wanted to spend some time with my wife, and I also had to de-Collyer the downstairs for New Year's Eve guests. Here are some "after" pictures; the "before" shots have been banned by the Board of Health.


I will be putting together and uploading an internet-only show within the next few days to tide listeners over until WHCL resumes broadcasting.

Happy New Year!
