Sunny practiced her coffee-drinking (a new vice, it turns out) and read some recent material as well as just contributed her delightfulness to the show. Remember! She's on twitter now and wants you! http://www.twitter.com/sunnymontgomery

The always-popular return of Secret Agent Lucy, aka my wife, appearing with me for our mutual birthday show (hers Oct. 20, mine Oct. 25). Extra entertaining because Lucy was on a birthday party bender the night before, aka 7 hours prior. Also: a call-in chat with Lucy's mom, Loris, who always has something on her mind. "Lately with Loris" may become a regular feature of the show, btw.

Was tickled to death to have Curt Mathies as my guest this week. We talked about his dubious radio past at both WKQQ and as PD of WUKY, his time as a Music Director for XM Satellite Radio  about life in the High Desert of Southern California, where he lives.

We also had that rarest of things — a real actual "phoner" — with Minneapolitan author Scott Muskin who was coming to town to read from his novel The Annunciations of Hank Meyerson: Mama's Boy and Scholar.

All in all, a great show! One of my favorites in recent memory. I was reminded this week of how much I love radio and how much fun it is.

 Terrible audio probs both from a broadcast standpoint and a streaming standpoint couldn't keep Wyn and I from laughin' it up. Mr. Morris was WRFL's 2nd music director, and I, the station's 2nd program director. We got lots of history.

Also, celebrating my return from Burning Man 2009 and the great surprise of Trivial Thursdays being voted Lexington's Best Radio Show (and my blog, Mingle Freely, its best non-commerial blog) by ACEWeekly's Best of Lex ! Thanks for the votes on both counts, friends!
