Your editor must make you aware of a major technical error... or one made by myself... It could be fairly be either one.

A file folder on my massive hard-drive containing audio dedicated to the conversations I had with WWLR personalities from the 70s and 80s has disappeared. I noticed this situation... this evening.

Now, while most of those conversations had been produced into programs and have already gone out....... the conversation I had with Wayne Barnes which would have gone out to you tomorrow night.... is nowhere to be found.

It appears we had our conversation last winter over Zoom and somehow the chat history is missing of the arrangement of that meeting ... and I don't have a telephone number.

With the hope that another conversation can be had... or by some miracle the recording resurfaces.... in the future... I can present this program at another date and time.

Until either happens... Episode 6 is up in the air. Expert at timing, I had wanted it to go out tomorrow night. That will obviously not happen.

If anyone has a way of reaching out.. or perhaps he sees this... I'm wide open to another.

Ken Squier died last night. He was 88.

While your admin has never directed you to another podcast before, this is the exception. It's a recording of the 9 to 11am call-in show this morning on WDEV.

Staffers and listeners of the 90s, remember the Earth & Sky feature?

The CD is still readable. On this link, is a promo for what would be this week in 1999... and November 10th's episode which that year fell on a Wednesday.
