This week Gus Bodenheim will bring us some special Medical Reportage about side effects connected to the Delbarton Breakthrough Vaccine. And we welcome Putney Dandridge to the playlists.

Well, Fablio is running an announcement that it's "late night", that's how extensively the drugs have deteriorated his brain.

Fablio's nickname among the WFMU staff is "Little Satan, Jr."

Courtney once met the real Satan. Said, "He's shorter than you might imagine."

Laura L:

Lolabelle, I hope Courtney knows that Big Satan, Sr., co-opted one of Gus Bodenheim's advertisements for airplay on Wednesday on his own show! Could there be any clearer sign that it's only a matter of time until Courtney takes over all of WFMU?

Fablio hasn't made room for the spring chicken Codger yet?
Avatar 5:58pm
Lolabelle Pancake:

Laura, Gus has begun freelancing. He tries to offer his services to the highest bidder. That's never Courtney. Ken is awash with marathon cash, which he lavishly showers on favored cronies. He is attempting to forge an alliance with Gus to undermine Courtney's attempt to buy the station.
Avatar 6:00pm
Lolabelle Pancake:

Fablio never refers to Codger as "Ooooooooooold ..." anymore.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 6:01pm

So it's just "the codger" now, like Fablio feels that familiar with Courtney. Impertinent.

Rosey is Listening on 91.1 MHz:

It was a real pleasure getting to surprisingly hear Gus Bodenheim yesterday morning and also to get to listen to a blues show, that played some 78 RPM records, on Princeton's freeform station WPRB HD1, when I was visiting my grandma the last two days. Great to be back in terrestrial signal territory and back with the one and only Old Codger radio show!

Let Ken just try! The Old Codger may not have lived forever, but he's lived long enough to know how to outsmart that kind of cronyism.

The station under Courtney's proprietorship would be a welcome change. For once people perusing the dial would be able to distinguish there is a signal at this setting.

Dale, it just occurred to me that if there's Trans-Lux, there must also be Reflected Lux imaging -- like maybe those old moving picture technologies that used printed photos instead of transparent film. Maybe it'd give the new digital technologies a run for their nickel.

That Babe Ruth public-service announcement explains a lot, as the Bambino was Negro Leagues star Cool Papa Bodenheim's financial adviser. I think Cool Papa misunderstood when Babe jokingy claimed to be a "CPA" — I had to look up on Urban Dictionary just what those initials stood for, and it somehow got me to blush.

Flip always pleases — like a fine scotch. Goes down easy, leaves you feeling dizzy and disoriented.
