(Week 136)
This RADIOLA! has had it up to here with digital technology. Let's call it "The Carpal Tunnel Kid's Manifesto." Computers are designed and sold by hucksters, chew up way too much of our time (and data), and actually make people stupid. Phooey.

"Announcer's Blues" August 8, 2008
(Week 134)
This RADIOLA! is a potluck supper of great leftovers, occasioned by the turmoil that accompanies installing a new computer in the house (and vainly trying to network it with the old one)--and the selections are somewhat influenced by that strife. Technology is not for sissies.

"It's Bad For Me" August 1, 2008
(Week 133)
Alexander Woollcott (whose ashes are buried a very short distance from WHCL on the Hamilton College campus) famously said, "All the things I really like to do are either illegal, immoral, or fattening."

Tune in tonight to WHCL-FM (with streaming HERE)--and if you listen closely, you may actually hear Woollcott turning in his grave. Live365 gets the show soon thereafter.
