This weekend brought us a pile of fun with new live radio, and a very special classic broadcast. During our extra hour (and a half) on Area 51 this past Saturday, Timtron presented a re-broadcast of the first ever episode of Radio Timtron Worldwide, originally broadcast live in 1973 somewhere near Porkrot, Massachusetts. This followed another fine broadcast from Tim live in Skowtown.

Allan and I discussed the current state of the Area 51 broadcast on Friday’s edition of Allan Weiner Worldwide.

Jane and I had a lot of fun with our listeners presenting this Saturday’s edition of the Lumpy Gravy Radio Show.

Last but not least, Kracker returned once again with a tasty sampling of Radio Jamba International.

A rough thunderstorm hit the area around Radio Free Mount Airy today, knocking out power here at Area 51 Ground Zero. So, instead of our planned fare, we were treated to a last minute impromptu live fill-in courtesy of our friends at Radio Jamba International. Hope you enjoyed the live programming!

Update, June 10, 2009: We are pleased to present an aircheck of this fine marathon show:
