Sorry to hear about the passing of George Wendt. Seeing George on stage at Second City (playing the Pope, no less) with Mary Gross and the super-fun Tim Kazurinsky was a most wonderful way to spend an evening. He'll be missed.

Back in 2018, we saw a post by Jill Sobule promoting her new album called "Nostalgia Kills." We puckishly wrote back to say "let's hope not," whereupon she very kindly sent us a copy. Jill was sweet and funny and a great songwriter and we're so sorry to hear of her death. RIP & thanks for everything

One reason we ask people to support our radio home @wdcb909.bsky.social is because it’s devoted to preserving and honoring great entertainment from the past. That’s become more important as we realize how many people who should know better aren’t interested in doing that. GIve today: wdcb.org
