Norm Nathan's Vault of Silliness with Tony Nesbitt

Norm Nathan’s Vault of Silliness w/Tony Nesbitt - Ep 280 - A Quick Hit from Some Nit Wits

Good gosh almighty, Episode 280 is broadcasting from the recently reorganized, plush but not overly ostentatious Norch Studios! This will be a quick hit of a NNS from March 19th, 1994, with the ever so clever title: A Quick Hit from Some Nit Wits It features quick chatter and choppy edits. A Jack Harte snowy traffic report with US AIR Shuttle as sponsor Moving on to the Norm Show Open and some guest info that we never hear from. Then Jack and Norm catching a train amongst more snowy traffic Callers: Caller: Poem about growing old Caller: with radio on in background Marie talking about her chihuahua, Peppe. Monica from Nahant! Asking the burning question: Was Sunflower a ‘used horse?’ Norm explains that is not the correct term. She also asks to write a note to Bob Raleigh to put a birthday in HIS birthday book. So why did she need Norm to do this favor? You’ll have to stay tuned to find out and it’s pretty funny and ridiculous. Wolfie aka Loco Lobo on a payphone And a quick call from Generosa and her cuckoo clock Other highlights: I join in studio with someone else who I believe to be Rod the security guard.  We learn about the latest temperature monitoring technology. Norm mentions trying to remain on the air long enough to reach May 24th which would be his 50th Anniversary in radio!  A barn burner rendition of ‘Hello Bluebird’ accompanied by some wacky band members Ever wonder what would be my epitaph? Well, you’re going to find out. I participate in a brief Academy Award quiz with that led to some talk about winners in different categories And Norm reads a sweet story of a 5th grade class from Oceanside, CA. Lastly, we hear some more teasers for guests we never hear from here, at least. John J. Moran creator of ‘Daring Passages – The Board game in a Bottle’ promo for following night Author Michael Rosen ‘The Kids Best Dog Book and Field Guide to Neighborhood Dogs’ Ep 280, A Quick Hit from Some Nit Wits, jabs its way to your ears, now.

Norm Nathan’s Vault of Silliness w/Tony Nesbitt - Ep 277 - Innumerable Incoming Nuptials

Welcome to the maybe Award Winning NNVoS w/TN. It’s maybe because, as of this recording, I have not heard if we were a win/place/show or just a total loser in the Podcast Tonight Awards. I’ll let you know the good or bad news as soon as I do. Let’s say helo to Malaysia, marhaba to Qatar & cómo te va? to Chile! What a nice surprise when checking the analytics after getting the Norch Studios and FuzzyWuzzyProductions up and running again after a weird computer issue. Lucky that I produced enough episodes to cover the downtime! Anyway, that’s a little inside info for you. Indulge me for a moment here: Listenership is increasing but support is waning. I can’t emphasize enough how important it is to support the efforts here. It’s been difficult to just cover distribution let alone try to put some aside for the Berklee College of Music’s Norm Nathan Scholarship Fund. Check out the links in the show bio on ways you can do so. I post episode teasers and other things to those subscribed. Lastly, if everyone who listens take a second to click on the thumbs up/like button. THAT helps immensely! If you’ve stopped by and tuned in, give it a click. Housecleaning completed. On to the show!  Possibly by the time this airs the temperature would have moderated a bit. It’s been a good old fashioned N.E. winter, but the month of March brings us hope for spring and all that comes with it, especially Peepers! This month also gives us hope for another phenomenal episode of NNVoS and I’m here to tell you that hope will be fulfilled! We have DBG from March 5th, 1995 which I have titled: Innumerable Incoming Nuptials Players: Todd, former DBG Champion and later, his wife Michelle subs in Jeanie in Roslindale Billy from Cambridge Belle in Rockport Karen Meslener producing and playing in studio Jim Frawley also producing and playing in studio Ken Newman Bdays: Dean Stockwell Marsha Warfield 3/7 Daniel Travanti Peter Wolf Willard Scott Ivan Lendl Lord Snowden Post-Game Callers: Charlie aka Chauncy And a Caller I will name Webster Ep 277, Innumerable Incoming Nuptials, marches its way to your ears now.
