"The Big Odometer" May 1, 2009

(Week 160)

This RADIOLA! celebrates (and somewhat deplores) the process of aging. But there's no ambivalence about the WHCL stream--I've bypassed Shoutcast, and HERE, at last, is a working stream link!

Tune in Friday at 8 PM Eastern to WHCL 88.7 FM in Clinton, NY (or stream it here). I'll post the show on Live365 within a day or two.
