Sunday Will Never Be the Same

We are heartbroken to share the news that X.Ray Burns, longtime co-host of The Glen Jones Radio Programme featuring X.Ray Burns on Sunday afternoons, has passed away. A wake for X. Ray will be held at the Thiele-Reid Family Funeral Home, 585 Belgrove Drive, in Kearny, NJ, on Thursday, Feb. 14th from 4pm – 9pm and is open to anyone who would like to pay their respects. There will also be a memorial service for X. Ray at Monty Hall in the near future. Date and time will be announced soon. Before he passed, X. Ray ran up a lot of medical bills, and there is a GoFundMe to help his wife deal with these huge costs. If you can help, please do.

Joe Frank Is Somewhere Out There

Joe Frank is a name that long-time WFMU listeners will recognize since his radio dramas aired on the station for many years. Joe passed away last year, but a documentary about his life and career, Somewhere Out There, has just been made. Irwin Chusid will be interviewing its director, D.P. Carlson, on Wed, February 20th from 3–6 p.m. in advance of a local screening of the film. Appropriately, the film will also screen at Monty Hall on Sun, March 10th during our 2019 marathon. Tickets are available here.

A pipe burst at the WFMU Magic Factory at the end of last month and Monty Hall suffered major water damage after the deep freeze. We are working hard at getting Monty back in shape for upcoming events! More news to follow.
