Very noisy conditions in Omaha but signal coming through with difficulty.  2 short (Poe)stories and a song by the Doors.  Clear ID @2322.  Hope conditions improve here,  Sounds like an interesting show.

I have been using online receivers because of strong data hash interference in my neighborhood that I believe is caused by Uverse squeezing up to 100mb/sec through ordinary pairs of wires.

Potbellied bastard Assistant Stavin tripped over and broke my loop antenna. (Bent it in half) Tried tuning in without it and I hear just heavy noise.   >:(

Hearing spooky movie clip now fading in and out as I have salvaged the loop a little bit. Hearing the decemberists now with a song.

Awesome zombie news clip at 0:18

Very grateful for weekday show. Thanks comrades.
